Our reader Yukai (Thanks!) made this comparison between the four 85mm f/1.4 FE lenses: The Samyang, Sony GM, current big Sigma FE and the new Sigma lens that will be announced on August 6. If the comparison is accurate it shows the new Sigma is going to be the smallest of all of them.

One more thing:
UPDATED: Of the over hundred Sony A7sIII youtubers test I only saw TWO reporting an overheating issue. It’s Dan Watson:
And Hugh Brownstone (minute 10:47)
Now, I am pretty sure that because they are the only one having that issues this might be a setting issue or more likely an issue on this particular preproduction unit. I hope Sony will lend them another unit just to be sure that this is indeed only a single preproduction unit issue. That is not uncommon with preproduction samples :)

Ted Forbes shows us the new Sony A7sIII menu in full detail:
And because you asked me many times…I do not think Sony will give you the option to install the new menu on current Sony cameras via future upgrade.

When Chris Hau got pitched by Sony with the A7sIII specs he wasn’t overwhelmed by it. But after trying it he changed his mind completely. This is a camera that meet all the needs and doesn’t fail on them (unlike the new Canon cameras).
And this is his friend’s Mattis A7sIII video:

If you are in hurry and don’t want to go and read a ton of reviews than this is pretty much the only video that you ABSOLUTELY have to watch. Gerald Undone surely ain’t a fanboy and is one of my favorite reviewers on the web. So if he says the A7sIII is a masterpiece it means a lot! And surprise for stills shooters: He says this is an outstanding camera for photographers too:
If you have some more time check out those too:

Tony Northrup could see thing the naked eye couldn’t see:
Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Voigtländer 35mm F1.2 Nokton SE lens and concluded:
The Voigtländer 35mm F1.2 Nokton (1000 euros) is a special lens: it offers super soft background blur and smooth transition from the area in focus to the ones in the blur
It provide a very nice rendering for portraits with glow for close portraits shoots
Closed down to F2.8 , centre sharpness increase a lot and it keeps a nice soft background
Buyers of this lens will mostly use it between F1.2 and F2 for its unique rendering and will maybe complement it with a Voigtländer 50mm F1.2 Nokton , if you prefer a more classical large aperture 35mm like the excellent Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN ArtPros
Very good background blur
Soft transitions
Glow effect at f1.2 if you like it
Excellent sharpness in the centre as of F2.8
Good bokeh wide open
Very good flare resistance
Nice sunstars including at F1.2
Low distorsion
Small and light
EXIF transmission
Build quality is very good
Vignetting very low as of F2Average
Strong vignetting at F1.2 and F1.4
Bokeh in polygons when closed down to F2 and beyondCons
very Bad CA , still visible at F4
Corners sharpness
Price
You can preorder the new Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2 SE lens at BHphoto.
