AFTER the Sony a7R IV: Sony ECM-B1M vs. RODE Wireless GO:

Dpreview added the Fuji GFX100 image files on their Studio Test Scene.

Here see a small crop comparison between the GFX100 files produced with the new Sony 102MP sensor and the Sony A7rIII. The difference is obviously big:

And here you can see a comparison with the A7rIII files in Pixel Shift mode:

Will be interesting to see how good the new A7rIV pixel shift mode will perform when compared with the GFX100.

SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 FE lens:

The Voigtländer 50mm F1.2 Nokton (1100 euros) is a special lens:  it offers a very nice rendering for portraits with good separation subject background when taken from 3-4 meters and nice glow for very close shots while keeping good contrast and enough sharpness (not like some F0.95 lenses that are completely lacking contrast and sharpness)

Closed down to F2 it becomes a classical 50mm for which you can find alternatives that are sharper , with AF

So this lens if really for people loving the rending at F1.2 and more focus on the atmosphere this lens can give than on pure sharpness numbers

Pros

• Very good background blur 
• Soft transitions
• Glow effect at f1.2 if you like it
• Good bokeh wide open
• Very good sharpness in the centre as of F2.8
• Very good flare resistance
• Low CA
• Low distorsion
• Small and light
• EXIF transmission
• Build quality is top notch

Average

• Vignetting up to F4
• Sharpness at F1.2 with glow (dreamy atmosphere)
• Bokeh in polygons when closed down to F2 and beyond

Cons

• Price

Shawn C. Steiner published the full 135mm GM lens review:

Sharp glass with beautiful, smooth shifts into the out-of-focus areas are ideal. Classic bokeh lenses used to have to sacrifice some sharpness to get that creamy look. Examples would be the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. and the more recent Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM.
All of these characteristics, combined, result in what I think is the absolute best portrait prime in Sony’s lineup. It’s also, unfortunately, priced accordingly. If you are a professional photographer who shoots portraits or weddings, I think this is one of those lenses that could easily become a staple in your bag.

Lenstip tested the new Samyang 85mm f/1.4 FE lens and liked it a lot:

I think we don’t even have to write a very lengthy summary in this case. If a lens of an independent producer three times cheaper than its well-done brand name rival fares in most categories better than the said brand name lens, you really don’t have to be verbose. 

We should be grateful to independent producers for their good quality lenses which are sold at normal prices. While developing new systems, brand name manufacturers are climbing new heights of absurdity with pricing new lenses launched on the market…

And now a funny side story:

Somebody in China modified the new Samyang lens in a way that it looks close to the Sony 85mm GM lens :)

Colby Brown tested the new 200-600mm G lens and writes:

With the FE 200-600 f/5.6-6.3 lens, Sony has once again continued to close the few remaining gaps in its extensive mirrorless lens lineup. While this lens was not given the G-Master status that is reserved for Sony’s ultimate top tier glass, it is still an incredibly impressive lens that is capable of capturing some truly amazing wildlife images, especially if you have a little bit of light to work with. With a variable aperture of f/5.6-6.3, it certainly isn’t going to be winning any awards for the fastest telephoto lens on the market, which is fine in my book at its price point.
