Some more info about that exciting new Laowa 200mm lens:

-> A source sent me two large image samples shot on the Laowa 200mm f/2.0. You can download them here: wetransfer.com

-> And here is some additional info (Thanks Avandu):

Laowa’s new AF 200mm F2.0 full-frame autofocus lens is expected to be released around October 1. It will be the first 200mm fixed-focus autofocus lens from a domestic optical brand. The lens will be offered in two color options, gray and blue, and will be available in Sony E, Nikon Z, and Canon EF DSLR mounts. Among these, the Sony E-mount version supports rear filters, while the Canon EF version weighs only 1,588 grams.”

Not as super razor shape as the Sigma but very close!

Curiosity: First batch of the $7400 Hasselblad X2DII sold out in a few hours!

I think all SAR readers are curious about what’s selling hot—and what’s not—these days. I can report from reliable sources that the first batch of the new Hasselblad X2D II medium format camera (B&H Photo, Amazon, Adorama) sold out quickly. The cameras have already shipped out, and anyone placing a preorder now will likely have to wait until at least the end of September to receive theirs.

Just imagine how a Sony medium format camera would sell if it had that super fast Sony Autofocus….
