Sony A6700 review at Dpreview: “It excels in every regard whether you’re focused on stills, traditional video, vlogging”

Dpreview tested the A6700 and concluded:

It excels in every regard whether you’re focused on stills, traditional video, vlogging, or all three.
All of this adds up to a gold award for the a6700, which is both the biggest leap forward in its series to date, but also, perhaps, the best APS-C camera, for the most people, in 2023.

Laowa 28mm f/1.2 Argus review by SonyAlphaBlog: You either hate it or love it

Laowa 28mm at BHphoto and Amazon US&EU.

SonyAlphaBlog tested the fastest 28mm FF lens you can buy and concluded:

The Laowa 28mm F1.2 (750 euros) is the fastest 28mm available in the market. Like all extreme lenses F0.95/F1.2) comprises have been made to favour aesthetic over classical rendering.
The lens is very well built but is fully manual. A switch allow to have a clickless aperture ring for video
The sharpness is good wide open in the centre with a nice soft background blur at 50cm and a good color rendering. unfortunately the corners are quite bad and the lens suffers from strong field curvature, high vignetting and low resistance to flare. Also the bokeh at long distance is uneven : soft in the centre and quite busy in the corners due to the field curvature.
You like it for its character and unique rendering or you hate it

The next Viltrox winner: The 75mm f/1.2 APS-C E-mount lens is a great performer!

You can now preorder the new VILTROX 75mm f/1.2 APS-C E-mount lens at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, Pergear, Viltroxstore.

I do now own the new Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 FE lens (my review here). And I somehow believe that Viltrox managed to get to a level of quality that is on par with Sony/Sigma/Tamron. And this for a half or even a third of the price of the competition! So I was curious to see how the new 75mm f/1.2 APS-C E-mount lens would perform and the reviewers seem to be pretty enthusiasic about it:

Phillip Reeve tested the lens and concluded:

Dedicated portrait tele lenses designed solely for the APS-C frame are rare, by which I mean this Viltrox 75mm 1.2 doesn’t have a real competitor in the APS-C world. Fuji “only” has a 56mm f/1.2 and a 90mm 2.0 for their X-mount, whereas Sony, Canon, Nikon and Sigma didn’t really bother to produce a similar lens like this at all. They would probably point at their fullframe lenses, but if they are comparable to this Viltrox lens they are far from being as affordable.
Therefore In the past, whenever someone asked me for an affordable longer portrait lens for their APS-C E-mount or Fuji-X camera, I usually recommended the Viltrox 85mm 1.8 Mk II. But from now on that recommendation will be changed in favour of this Viltrox 75mm 1.2 AF.
We don’t need a longer conclusion here: the image quality is outstanding, bokeh is nice, the build quality and controls hardly leave something to be desired and even the price is fair. What is not to like here?
