Kinoshita announced the new 85mm f/1.4 manual focusing lens. It has a Contax mount and you need an adapter to use it on Sony E-mount cameras. On their site they show this lens mounted on Sony cameras only. That’s why I wonder why they didn’t make a native E-mount version of this.

Dave spotted those Red Iberit M-mount lenses displayed by the company at the CP+ show. Currently those lenses are available as E-mount in Black or Silver at Bhphoto.
Also at the CP+ show there was that Voigtlander 65mm E-mount lens and 40mm f/1.2 FE cut in half spotted by Silvell and DC.watch:
Dpreview had a hands-on with Laowa ‘Magic Shift Converter’:
Canon and Nikon will eventually do their big FF mirrorless move sometimes by end 2018. But so far we have no clue if they are going to launch a system camera with a new mount or just keep their current mount and remove the optical system from their DSLR.
From the CP+ show we only got these two small news:
Canon confirmed they are now shifting their resources from DSLR to Mirrorless (more at Mirrorlessrumors).
And Nikon said eventually 100 Megapixel FF cameras will arrive. There is no diffraction limitation that can stop this from happening. (more at Mirrorlessrumors).
It’s hard for me to guess what they will do. I bet their management is tempted to take the easy road and just make mirrorless-DSLR (LOL). Doing a new mount would mean they would have to develop a completely new range of lenses. Something that takes years and they would have to play a long catch up game with Sony.
The new Citograph 50mm f/2.8 project has now been launched on Kickstarter. The lens is available as native E-mount option too.

Eric: “I have been using the new Voigtlander 35/1.4 for Sony E for a week now. I give a few thoughts on the lens and compare it to the Leica M mount version. https://youtu.be/cB1KKzUIzB8“
