Dpreview had a chat with Joe Biden’s official photographer Adam Schultz. It’s curious to note he uses three(!!!) Sony A9II cameras for his work. He says:

I have three Sony a9 II bodies, about twelve batteries, and four lenses, including the three I mentioned earlier. The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM, the FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS, which is mostly a backup, then the FE 85mm F1.4 GM, which is a great lens, and the FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS.

Only 3-4 years ago nobody would have imagined pro journalists using Sony gear for their work. Now here we are!

Sony just unveiled the completely white ZV-1 camera. You can preorder it now at BHphoto. Looks neat :)

I spotted a new Tamron patent describing two new lens designs for Full Frame mirrorless. Tamron is also known for selling their optical designs to Zeiss (for their Batis line). But the design of the 135mm f/2.8 lens is very different from the current Batis 135mm lens.

Also interesting is this 350mm f/4.5 lens:

Adobe launched the new Lightroom 10 software and you can find an overview of all new features here. To purchase the software jump on this page.

Lightroom 10 now supports a bunch of new cameras including the A7c and A7sIII (full list here). It also supports a ton of new Sigma-Voigtlander FE lenses (full list here)

Next year we are going to get a new A9III and A7IV camera for sure. The new Sony A7rV is more likely to be introduced in 2022. I know Sony read us so please give them a general idea of the necessary improvements (Note: I didn’t add features like fully articulating screen, same A7sIII EVF…because these are kind of obvious to be featured on the A7rV too).
