Uk Optics announced the new Laowa 105mm f/2.0 STF lens. Here is the full press text:

LAOWA 105MM F2 (T3.2) STF LENS

UK OPTICS (LAOWA UK) is pleased to present the Laowa 105mm F2 STF Lens. STF stands for Smooth Trans Focus, in reference to its special optical system, which is intended to deliver smooth transitions between crisp in-focus areas and creamy defocused background or foreground areas. This unique manual focus only lens has an integrated apodisation filter that provides superior bokeh rendering and crystal sharp images.

Full frame compatible lens featuring 11 elements in 8 groups with a 14 blade aperture* and a minimum focus distance of just 0.9M. All metal alloy construction housing multi-coated glass elements throughout. At a focal length of 105mm and with the inherent softly diffused bokeh, this lens is perfect for portraiture.

The Laowa 105mm F2 STF lens is one of only a few lenses currently offering an apodisation effect. Available later in March with an MSRP of £649.99, in the following mounts: Nikon, Canon, Sony A, Sony E and Pentax.

Sony announced a new E-mount camera…but it’s not meant to be purchased by our readers! This is the world’s most sensitive 4K network camera named “”SNC-VB770”. Sony Japan’s press release states the camera has the industries highest level minimum illumination at 0.004 lux (in the 4K network camera business). The camera will ship in August for 850,000 yen.

Here are the specs translated from Japanese:

Sony CEO Hirai got spotted testing the new Nikon D5 and D500 DSLR cameras at the CP+ show. Beside the pure gossip nature of this “event” I really do hope Mr. Hirai recognizes the need of “bigger” cameras. For better balance, improved handling options, larger batteries and so on. We really want to handle those A9 and A99II cameras at Sony’s Photokina booth!

Sadly this won’t be just a bad April 1 joke but a real thing: Sony will really(!) increase the prices in Canada on April 1 exactly. Canadian readers better buy their stuff before this date at Newegg.ca, TheCameraStore, Amazon.ca, eBay.ca or any other store!

Thanks Ori, Sour and all other people who sent this info!
