A couple of months ago Blazar did announce the first autofocus anamorphic Full Frame lenses. Today Sirui presented its first anamorphic AF lens at the Inter BEE 2024. These are the first images of the lens. There is no information about possible prices and availability yet.
We are now in November and this means that 12 months passed without a Sony Full Frame E-mount camera announcement. The last FF camera Sony announced was the Sony A9III back in November 2023.
The past 7 years Sony always did announce at least 1 new FF E-mount camera. 2016 was the exception although they did announce a new A-mount FF camera (the Sony A99II).
I was afraid that this would be the first year in a long time that Sony wouldn’t announce a new FF camera. But now I know for sure we are getting the Sony A1 successor on November 19 :)
Tokina has discontinued production of the atx-m 85mm F1.8 FE lens. Rumor has it that this lens was actually manufactured by Viltrox. Now that the Chinese company has a good reputation, I think they no longer need the partnership with Tokina. Viltrox already sells its own 85mm lens under its own name.
