Back in July I posted those six new Sony ensor specs. Those are sensors available for Sony and for third party companies. Androidlad posted this image showing the A7sIV and A7IV specs.

But I want to remark that this is just a pure guess for now! There is no way to tell if Sony will use those sensors or a customized version. What I find odd is that the A7sIV would only be able to record 4k/30p. No way the A7sIV doesn’t have at least 4k/60p folks!

So please, take this table just a wild speculation!

BCNranking posted the Japanese sales result for December. In the interchangeable system camera business Sony lost the second position and now has 17,5% of the share. Nikon re-gained the second position and now has 19,2% of the share.

This isn’t a surprise because Nikon announce a very decent Z-50 affordable camera while Sony’s new A9II is only meant to sell in small numbers to professionals.

On the other hand it’s a bit surprising  to see that both Canon and Fuji shares dropped slightly while Olympus slaes seem to do very fine in Japan.

You can now buy this new Laowa 4mm f/2.8 APS-C E-mount Fisheye lens at Venuslens.net (Choose Sony E as mount option).

And the world’s first review of the E-mount version has been posted on SonyAlphaBlog:

Well at 279 euros , the Laowa 4mm F2.8 is in the high price range of circular fisheye for Sony E mount but the results are there : among the 11 fisheye for sony E-Mount it is the best one for circular fisheye , the Samyang 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II (360 euros) being the best for stereographic fisheye (filling entire frame)

Using the Laowa 4mm gives you a unique perpective with 210° field of view, images are very sharp and color rendition is very good. Morever you keep (almost) a circular frame when using it in video

Tokina preorder at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.

As you know Tokina just announced the new ATX-M 85mm f/1.8 FE autofocus lens. But the suspect is that this $499 lens might share the same design of the $399 Viltrox version (here on Amazon). Just compare the lens construction:

Now it might be that the Tokina offers some kind of “extras” like better construction or whats so ever…still if the optical quality is the same you might be better of saving $100.

Today Tamron  informed the new 20mm FE prime lens will start shipping out on January 30. Still no info about the 70-180mm f/2.8 FE shipment start but I guess we will have to wait a couple of months more before we get that one too :(
