For the very first time the new Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Autofocus Full Frame E-mount lens is in Stock via Amazon US&EU (Click here). This is one of the few lenses I am actually considering to buy. Not only because of the very good performance…but because it’s a lens with a unique creative look. Something that has no match yet.

Canon did a Canon thing and managed to disappoint even when sharing what should be good news! Why do I think that?

Today Sigma and Tamron announced the launch of their first RF autofocus lenses, but they are all APS-C. There is a strong suspicion that Canon has allowed competition only in the APS-C segment, focusing on the profitable and much more attractive Full Frame lens line.

This means that large lenses such as the Sigma 50mm f/1.2 FE or the Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 FE will NOT be available to Canon R. This gives a competitive advantage to Sony, Nikon and the L-mount system.

Sony made a mistake when sending out the press release to different outlets. They asked all of us to take down the article until it’s official tomorrow

Back in January Sony officially announced it will release a major firmware update for the FX3 and FX30 in September 2024 (or later). It will include:

• Addition of Shutter Angle: Users will be able to choose from both Shutter Speed/Shutter Angle similar to what is available with the FX6
• Ability to add clip flags to mark shots
• SRT/RTMP/RTMPS support for live streaming via the Creator’s App

Chris Brockhurst met with the Sony FX3 developer and he displayed to him an FX3 with the beta verison of this new firmware. You can see the video on his IG channel:
