Engadget tested that wild new camera that is on sale on Kickstarter (Click here). What’s special with this new camera is that it uses a Sony STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor that works in light as low as 0.0001 lux. And contrary to other night vision cameras this shows True Colors. In this video you can see how good or bad it works:
Lensvid compared the three CFexpress Type A cards for your Sony A1. The conclusion:
As we have seen, the performance of all the existing CFexpress Type A cards seems to be pretty much identical in camera although in our test we have seen differences when offloading to a computer. For many users though the real differences are going to be in things like warranty and long-term reliability which is difficult to test without a large enough sample and of course pricing.
All Type A cards can be found on that BHphoto page (click here).

And this is a comparison with the previous version:
This is a rather unique special lens. And you can find some nice image samples on these Japanese pages: DC.watch and Sasha Kitamura.
The new Tokina 500mm Reflex lens is in Stock at BHphoto (Click here).
It is quite an achievement by Sony to reduce size and weight by increasing features (iris ring) and optical performance!

A reader sent be this approximate size comparison between the older GM lens and the new version. What’s certain is that with 695g of weight this is by far the lightest zoom lens in it’s class. It’s 110g lighter than the Nikon Z and 191g lighter than the older GM version.
Here is my video about the new lens (don’t forget to subscribe the new channel):
