This is the first image of the new lens shared by Pergear. Full lens specs and pricing will be announced in May. There is also a new image of the 27mm f/1.2 XF lens for Fuji. This lens is likely to be announced sometimes in late 2023 as E-mount version too.
We all know Sony will launch a 300mm f/2.8 GM prime lens by end of 2023 (the lens list listed here at BH). But in my latest video I bring you my case why this new Canon 100-300mm f/2.8 lens makes much more sense than owning a 300mm prime. Yes, the Sony will cost $2-3000 less than the Canon, but the 100-300mm L is much more flexible and can be used for a variety of different scenarios. You might end up saving money because this one lens is good enough to replace a couple of primes and zooms!
So I hope Sony will make such a lens too. But I also have one more deeper secret hope: Sigma doing an E-mount version of their famous 120-300mm f/2.8 lens that still sells for $3,600 only at Amazon. Nearly one third of the price of the Canon!
What do you think, would you buy a Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 FE lens?
Canon announced the impressive 100-300mm f/2.8. it also carries an impressive price :)
With a 2x converter this becomes a 200-600mm f/5.6 lens. What do you think…should Sony make such a lens too?
Finally we can have affordable CFexpress Type A cards! Angelbird just announced the new 1TB card for $499. The card is in Stock on their website but it will soon be available on their Amazon store page too. By comparison the Sony 640Gb card costs $1210 and is a tiny bit slower than the Angelbird. So you see why this news is kind of a big deal:
You pay $1,89 for 1GB with the Sony
You pay $0,5 for 1GB with the Angelbird
That’s 74% less!
Nitecore announced the new BB Mini Rechargeable Electronic Air Duster Cleaning Tool for Cameras. You can buy it now on Amazon (worldwide) and eBay.
Someone just dropped me the full spec sheet of an alleged new 108MP 1/1.33 inch sensor with dual layer tech. Not sure yet if it’s legit but surely those are impressive specs for a phone camera!
