LEAKED: This is the new Tokina ATX-M 85mm f/1.8 FE lens!

Share

This is the leaked image of the new Tokina 85mm f/1.8 FE lens. The lens will start shipping out on February 7 and cost around $500+ (550 Euro).

It’s hard to make a decent size comparison as the image show the lens slightly tilted. But it looks like the lens will be bigger than the excellent Sony 85mm f/1.8 and about on par with the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8:

No info yet about when the lens will be officially announced by Tokina but I guess it will be unveiled sometimes in January…

Thanks Jose!

UPDATE: The Zeiss websites are ONLINE again. Still, they went back online only after our post and I recall the websites were offline for weeks!

Zeiss stated multiple times they would REALLY produce this camera. but 14 months passed and I guess I am not the only one doubting that they might not release it at all…

P.S.: The camera is still listed as “coming soon” at BHphoto.

Impressive BCN stats: in Japan Sony has clearly won the Full frame battle against Canon and Nikon and is now the number one in the market!

Share

BCNranking reported the full year Japan sales stats. And the big news upfront:

Sony is now officially the number 1 in the Full Frame market (DSLR+mirrorless!).

The graph on top shows that Sony managed to increase unit and value sales in all areas:

– Overall: 19% unit and +32% in value sales
– APSC: 19% unit and +44% in value sales
– Full Frame: 18% unit and +17% in value sales

Canon and Nikon reported losses in all segments with the one single exception of the Canon FF unit sales that went up 6% (but value sales were down 7%)

As a result this year Sony managed to surpass Canon in the FF market:

In short: While it’s true the market as a whole is shrinking…in Japan Sony has still managed to sell MORE cameras and make MORE money!

Check mate?
