Sony WH-1000XM4 headphone leaked

This isn’t an Alpha leak but I know many of you use headphones for video editing like I do. I just recently bought the discounted Sony WH1000XM3 headphones. Well the new WH1000XM4 just got leaked and I guess they will be announced very soon.They look exactly like the XM3 but have those additional new features (via TheVerge):

  • Bluetooth v5 (updated from v4.2)
  • 2W of rated power consumption (down from 8W)
  • 40 hours of operation when connected via headphone cable and noise cancelation on max (up from 36 hours)
  • Something new called “speak to chat,” perhaps making it easier to work with Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa (they require a button press now)

Tokina promises to launch five new E-mount lenses in 2020!

Today Tokina issued a press release to inform about the development of five new lenses for the E-mount system

  1. 35mm f/1.8 Full Frame E-mount
  2. 50mm f/1.8 Full Frame E-mount

All lenses are expected to have autofocus. The APS-C lenses will be released in Summer and the Full Frame lenses in autumn.
