SongRAW is set to launch the “Youth Edition” AF 50mm F1.2 and AF 85mm F1.2 full-frame autofocus lenses. Sources suggest that these new lenses will be priced lower than the current versions, along with reduced weight and further optimizations.
Their current lenses are quite large, so I hope you they have found a way to significantly reduce their size and weight.

On Rednote I found this image of the new Yongnuo 50mm lens (on the left) with VCM focus motor. It has the same size of the current 50mm lens (right on the image) but obvisouly much improved AF performance.
Apple announced the 2nd Generation AirTag you can buy now on Amazon (Click here). Precision Finding works from 1.5x further away than before and the speaker is 50% louder. This makes it easier to find lost or stolen equipment.. I track all my camera gear and my kids (LOL).
Storage and card deals:
Sony Japan has launched their official CP+ event page. The curiosity here is that they did not list the Sony A7sIII, A7cR and A6700. Don’t think we should interpret this as a sign the A7sIV, A6900 and A7cRII launch is close. It’s near certain that Sony will NOT announce a new camera in February. We are getting one or all of these lenses by end of February:
