Now another sources confirmed the very good specs (Thanks!!!) I got the past week from another trusted source. I am now 80% confident the Sony A7V has a NEW sensor. But goddamn it… I am out for launch (see picture) and don’t know when I will be back home. Connection is terrible here (Rohrehof near Hafling). Subscribe my youtube channel as something will go online soon about one of the other A7V specs I teased before).
Sorry again for the messy message….but connection keeps coming and going.

Cosina announced the new Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 28mm F2 Aspherical E-mount lens (product page here). The lens will start to ship out in December.
Sony E-mount compatible
Equipped with electronic contacts, the lens usage status is reflected in the Exif information of the shooting data. It also has a built-in distance encoder, which supports 5-axis image stabilization on the camera body. It also allows you to zoom in on the viewfinder by operating the focus ring.
Optimized Optical Design
In addition to ensuring a full-size image circle, the optical design is optimized for Sony E-mount sensors, maintaining high resolution all the way to the edges of the screen and suppressing phenomena such as color cast.
Apochromatic design
To accommodate today’s high-pixel digital sensors, axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration have been thoroughly suppressed.
Manual focus for precise focusing
The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that generates just the right amount of torque ensures smooth focusing, allowing for subtle focus adjustments.
Aperture click switching mechanism
The lens is equipped with an aperture click switching mechanism that allows the aperture ring to be opened and closed continuously without making a clicking sound, eliminating the need to worry about the sound of the aperture ring being picked up when recording video.
We finally got the BIG announcement we were all waiting for! The new Sony A7V—ah wait… nope. It’s the Sony Camera Rain Cover, now finally available for preorder at BHphoto (click here).
It seems Sony will announce something, maybe the a75 in exact Dec. 2nd. The invitation was sent to Vietnamese KOLs and content creators. The time in picture is Vietnam time so please convert to yours accordingly.
