Tamron published a video interview with their engineers. About the future development they say (google translated text):

Tamron will continue to listen to the voices of our customers and develop unique lenses that are unique to Tamron. And I would like to incorporate customization functions into all models of future lenses, improving optical performance, further maximizing AF speed, improving operability of zoom ring and focus ring, texture and grip. We would like to make further improvements such as improving the feeling.

In particular, “TAMRON Lens Utility” is still a developing technology, so we would like to hear your voices and requests and add it to new functions.

In addition to improving optical performance and AF performance, future models will be equipped with a lens customization function for all lenses. We are waiting for your requests for lenses and customization functions.

As a reminder: Tamron is expected to announce five new lenses this year!

Tokina announced the new 2x extender kit for the current 400mm E lens.

Canon has announced the two new lenses that are now available for preorder at BHphoto (Click here). I wonder if Sony will ever launch these kind of sub $20,000 Tele primes too!

It’s 14 years I work on the rumor websites, and I kept my person and life always private. But something changed the past year. A couple of events that made me change my mind. I think it’s time to create a clear interactive community. I am tired of sitting alone in the dark :)

CIPA published their market forecast and it is grim! The camera market is expected to shrink further by 6.1%:

• CIPA announced on the 22nd that the worldwide shipment of digital cameras in 2022 will decrease 6.1% from 2009 to 7.85 million units. It is expected to fall below the previous year’s level for the fifth consecutive year. The shortage of parts such as semiconductors is expected to continue to affect production for 22 years. Compared to the peak of 10 years, it will be about 1/15.
• The number of integrated lenses such as compact digital cameras is expected to decrease by 15% to 2.56 million units, and the number of interchangeable lens cameras such as single-lens reflex cameras and mirrorless cameras is expected to decrease by 1.1% to 5.29 million units.

Indeed I told you many times already that Sony had to push forward their product releases. The new ZV styled camera, the A7rV and A9III are all expected to be on market from second half of the year at best (the A9III might even be on market by early next year).
