A rock-solid source just confirmed: Canon will unveil the new C50 Full-Frame Cine Camera on September 9, followed by the Nikon Zr announcement on September 10. And make no mistake — both are gunning straight for the Sony FX3.
UDPDATE with corrected specs: The Canon C50 is blowing the FX3 out of the water — with 32MP (not 45MP as previously reported), Open Gate, killer autofocus, and beautiful RAW output.
Meanwhile, the Nikon Zr reportedly integrates the RED tech with Nikon Z6III 24MP partially sensor under the hood — promising next-level performance that could make the FX3 look instantly outdated.
In short: Sony better move fast with the FX3 II, because Canon and Nikon are bringing serious heat.

PCmag tested the lens and concluded:
The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS Sports is a stunner, both in terms of the images it captures and the speed and accuracy with which it focuses. And while it’s more expensive than pro zooms at $3,299, it leaves nothing to be desired. Photographers who cover indoor sports in venues with so-so illumination will appreciate its aperture, and the lens is just as good a tool for portraiture and other scenes that isolate a subject from its surroundings. It’s a shame that the lens doesn’t support rear teleconverters, but we have no real gripes otherwise, so the 200mm F2 DG OS Sports earns our Editors’ Choice award.

Asobinet reports that the Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2.0 has been officially marked as discontinued in Japan. The end of an era for one of the first native E-mount primes that carried the Zeiss badge. Farewell to a lens that helped shape the reputation of the FE system in its formative years.

Matt Granger has just published the first review of the new Laowa 200mm f/2.0 lens. His test was done on the Z-mount version, but as you know, an E-mount version is also on the way. While official pricing hasn’t been announced yet, it’s expected to come in well below the cost of Sigma’s new 200mm FE. The big question is: how does it stack up?
The Laowa performs well, though it doesn’t quite reach the level of the Sigma—and that’s no surprise. My guess is the Laowa will come in under $2,000, compared to the Sigma’s $3,300 price tag. If it can deliver even 90% of what the Sigma offers, it’ll already be a big win!
