Blackmagic is the first camera manufacturer to announce price increases due to the new tariffs

Blackmagic writes:

We wanted to post a quick note on USA prices and the new government tariff changes.
Most products in the USA have increased and please check our web site for details. DaVinci Resolve and Blackmagic Cloud prices remain the same. It’s also worth noting the price increases only affect the US and prices in other counties are currently unchanged.

I have also heard first stories about Sony repair services being delayed because of a sudden price increase o parts. Let’s see if and when we will see price increases on E-mount gear too.

UPDATE: This incredible drama took another turn:

  • China tariffs have been raised to 125%
  • The rest of thew world gets the basic 10% tariff rate for 90 days

Still, Amazon has canceled orders for multiple products made in China and other Asian countries, suggesting the company is reducing its exposure to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

Again, if you have on your mind to buy some gear I would act NOW to avoid the risk of paying a premium. Preorder now to SAVE prices before the tariff increases:

A world’s first! Sony will soon announce the 50-150mm f/2.0 GM lens!

Share

According to three trusted sources, Sony will soon announce a new 50-150mm f/2.0 GM lens. Yes, folks, I didn’t make a typo… this really is a constant aperture zoom of f/2.0! There has never been a lens like this in the history of photography, so I’m very excited to hear your comments on this new lens! This will be Sony’s second f/2.0 Full Frame zoom after the 28-70mm f/2.0 GM.
The sources have not given an exact date for the announcement, except that it will be ‘very soon’. So I suspect the announcement will be in a few weeks. I’ve been told that the lens is a smidge heavier and larger than the Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0 (which, by the way, is on super-discount at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama).
The Tamron is a very popular seller, and the Sony lens goes one step further in terms of light gathering ability. A constant aperture is a particular advantage when shooting video. At the telephoto end, the depth of field on the 150mm f/2.0 lens is much shallower (1.9cm) than the 150mm f/2.8 (2.7cm), which should provide an even more pronounced bokeh effect.
But the price difference is rumored to be quite big. The Tamron sells for $1,599 while the new Sony is likely going to sell for a price close to $4,000!

One more camera rumor: While we are supposed to get ‘only’ this lens and not another lens or a new camera with the next announcement, one of the sources shared another interesting tidbit: He has seen this lens being tested on a new Sony camera that will be announced at a later event. He wouldn’t tell me which camera it was. I’m hoping it’s the Sony A7V, which I know is ready, but Sony has postponed the launch for now. 

Wrap up:
While I work on getting more details, let me know what you think of this new lens in the comments section. And let’s hope the Sony A7V will come right after the 50-150mm GM is announced!
