A SAR readers sent me that image of the first Irix 15mm f/2.4 manual focusing Full Frame lens. It will be available in different mounts. The lens is designed by a Swiss company and rumor has it is manufactured by Samyang.

UPDATE: The lens got announced (Info at irixlens.com). No Sony E-mount version is coming yet. It will probably be announced later by end of this year!

A6300 first impression at Dpreview: “really impressive little camera”

Share

a6300_FE2470GM_image_white

Dpreview posted their A6300 first impression review and do write:

It’s pretty clear that Sony set out to create a future-proof camera in the a6300, one whose specs will likely look impressive, even two years down the road. The camera has a lot of fire power, both in the AF and video departments, and initial impressions indicate that everything works as it should. Which is to say, the a6300 is a really impressive little camera.It’s certainly not going to turn any heads with it looks, but it should give you everything you need to instead turn heads with your images. Which for most, is a much more worthwhile goal.

One more thing: Plenty of A6300 videos poste dby TheDigitalDigest on Youtube.
