Richard Wong had a chat with the TTartisan boss. There are new autofocus FF lenses coming soon:
What I personally found interesting in this review is that TTartisan plans to make a camera too! I don’t see them launching camera with a new mount and I guess they will use an existing mount. What would you think about them making an E-mount camera???
About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!
Source 1:
Some internal rumors about the ZV-E10 II launching later this year (end of Q3)
Source 2:
Looks like 2 new sensors are ready. 80MP + QP AF and 100MP.
Source 3:
A trusted Sony Source told me:
There will be future camera feature Updates via Creators Cloud/App.
Starting with the ZV-E1 120p Update in Summer.
There may be priced feature Updates in future also.
This is how the size and design of the Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 FE autofocus lens will be. And it’s going to be announced in early October.
One source heard a “whisper” about a possible Samyang 16-35mm FE announcement. This would be a sort of way more affordable alternative to the newly announced 16-35GMII. The source itself wasn’t 100% sure about this yet but he will let me know once he gets a final confirmation…
Something else: My source confirmed the Nikon ZF is coming on Sept 20. And yesterday Black magic announced a new Full Frame L-mount cine camera that is super cool! More about that in my latest video:
As you know Viltrox has announced a new “LAB” series lens that will have ultimate image quality. There first lens will be the 135mm f/1.8 E-mount Full Frame autofocus lens. And this is the first time we actually see the lens!
First thing you will notice are the many switches and buttons on the lens. You also see the LAB logo. No info on filter thread and price yet. I guess it will cost less than half of the Sony 135mm GM and be very close or even match the optical performance.
We may be close to see the day when Chinese manufacturer can offer super quality lenses for a very low price…
On September 4th Sony registered a new camera model in China. This has 5.1G (MHz) compatibility which usually means this is a mid to high end level camera. The ZV-1II for example only had a 2.4G registration. If you wonder how long it takes until this camera will get announced just look at the recent history:
So as you see the chances are high the camera will be announced between end of November 2023 and early January 2024. This is EXACTLY the timeframe I told you MANY times for the A9III launch!
Reminder: Sony also has three “minor” camera registrations from June 12. One is surely for the just announced LR1…not sure if the other two are for Burano and something else…
Thanks Nya for this excellent work!
