Damn, this could be a bad day for some of our readers:
The German website Photoscala reported that the company Net SE is now officially bankrupt. They had many Kickstarter projects running under the brands Meyer Optik Görlitz, C. P. Goerz und Oprema Jena. And if you still didn’t get your lens from them you will NOT get back the money from Kickstarter!
If you still want to get such a lens there are some of them in Stock at Bhphoto. Unlike Kickstarter you will get a refund at Bhphoto if the lens you had on preorder will not ship.

This camera was announced on August 30 in Asia and Europe but not in the USA. Today Sony announced the new HX99 in the USA. Preorders will open tomorrow at BHphoto.
And today also Amazon US added a preorder option on the new Sony TOUGH SD cards:
On Reddit A7III and A7rIII owners reported a major bug. The Sandisk 128GB card is not working when you use them on Slot Number 1. IThe problem only appears with the 128GB card version and only with Sandisk.
Hendrixj92 pointed out:
I contacted Sony. After a quick explanation of the issue, the rep found other reports of this happening. It appears to be a firmware issue with 128gb cards. They are working on it.

Skylum announced the release of the new Sky Enhancer feature (full announcement article here). It’s going to be released as a free Luminar update on November 1. If you plan to buy Luminar use our code “SAR” to get a $10 discount.
About AI Sky Enhancer:
This filter was created for photographers who would rather focus on creating photos, and have neither the time or inclination to spend hours correcting their images.
By moving a single slider you can add depth, definition, and detail to the sky without exposing unwanted artifacts or affecting any other aspect of the image.
No one wants boring skies in their photos, and restoring and improving the sky is one of the most important things while creating a masterpiece. We’ve done our best to make this process as simple as it can be – the new AI Sky Enhancer creates no halos, automatically detects the edges of the sky and recognizes the sky even inside other objects such as bridges.
Offer Availability:
The new and advanced AI Sky Enhancer Filter is going to be added to Luminar on November 1, 2018 in advance of Luminar Libraries.
Pricing:
New users can purchase Luminar 2018 for $59 USD ($49 with “SAR” coupon code)
