What are SAR readers hoping to get from Sony in 2018? I did this small list of rumored cameras that are more or less likely to be announced:
Loading ...Of course it’s pretty obvious the A7III and A7sIII will surely be announced in 2018. But I wonder what will be the big thing at Photokina. A medium format RX? The A9r?
P.S.: Follow my new Sony gear focused Instagram account :)
Today Adobe announced the last perpetual update of Lightroom. From now on clouds only will be supported. The update adds support for the A7rIII and 24-105mm lens.
I am certainly NOT going to jump on the cloud version and I hope the that the DAM module coming on Luminar 2018 (Click here) will be as good as I hope it is.

Thanks Mjfotografie.de for finding and sharing this.
Cosina Japan announced the new Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4 FE lens. The lens will start shipping in February for 85,000 yen (with tax included). That’s roughly $750 but I guess final US price will be lower. Image samples can be seen here cosina.co.jp/gallery/oomura-35-1_4/index.html. This is one example:
Here are the key info google translated from the Japanese text:
Main Features:
● With Sony E mount compatible
electronic contact, lens usage status is reflected in Exif information of shooting data. In addition, because it incorporates a distance encoder, it supports 5-axis camera shake correction on the camera body side. You can also enlarge the display by operating the focus ring.
● Symmetrical Lens Construction
Reconstructed with the latest optical technology while adopting a traditional symmetrical lens configuration to obtain a unique and beautiful depiction. By adopting ultrahigh refraction glass, we have realized a large aperture with compact size.

to securing full-size image circle, it adopts optical design optimized for Sony E mount sensor. You can enjoy soft delicate descriptions reminiscent of classic lenses with stable image quality.
