  • Pre Capture
  • 8 stops IBIS
  • 4k60p no crop, 4k120p with crop
  • no Open Gate
  • new AI chip like the Sony A1II
  • Free-Angle Tilting 3.2″ Touchscreen LCD
  • 1 SD slot and 1 hybrid SD/CFexpress Type A slot
  • no C5 button
  • improved EVF (5.6m dot?)
  • dual USB-C port (gets rid of the micro-USB port)
  • Same Sony A7rV body design.
  • price close to $3000
  • Announcement on December 2
  • Limited batch ships before Christmas
  • Price: 2999€
  • Sony A7V Preorders (open on Dec 2): BHphoto, Amazon.

Here is the first image of Viltrox front-facing teleconverter!

Last month on Reddit Viltrox announced this:

We’ll soon be launching a front teleconverter (increasing the focal length by 1.4×) and a wide-angle conversion lens (reducing the focal length to 0.8×). With these, you can instantly unlock new focal lengths without changing your camera. Stay tuned, and thank you for your question!

Here are some examples of conversions you get on Sony lenses:

Just announced: New Viltrox 2x E-mount teleconverter that fully supports 120fps

Share

Viltrox announced the new 2x E-mount teleconverter. It costs 1129 Yuan (around $160). There are no preorders available yet.

Viltrox 2x TC E-mount specs:

  • 9 elements in 5 groups
  • 229 grams
  • electronic contacts
  • EXIF ​​data transmission
  • lens-based image stabilization
  • 120fps continuous shooting
  • dust and splash resistant

I’m genuinely impressed that they claim it supports the Sony A9 II’s full 120 fps burst rate. As you know, third-party E-mount lenses are normally limited to 15 fps. This is technically a teleconverter and not a lens, but still—I didn’t think they were able to bypass that limitation!

All Viltrox lenses are now 20% off
