Huawei will soon announce the new P20 smart phone. Why should we care about that news? Because the phone will have the world’s first triple-camera. And if this will become a general trend it will suddenly help Sony to increase the sensor business. Which means more investment in R&D and more benefits for the classic 1 inch, APS-C and FF sensor development.
Meyer Optik announced the new updated Somnium II 85mm f/1.5 FE lens:
The new Somnium II comes in an enhanced design and has been updated to the latest Meyer-Optik quality standards. It will be available for nearly all modern camera systems and comes with a matt black finish.
