A readers sent me the image on top showing the new Voigtlander 21mm f/1.4 FE lens. He quickly tested the lens and said this:
Even if wide open, Resolution is good enough. But had some vinetting and coma. Its Sunstar is very beautiful.
This is a lens I am very likely going to buy once it’s released.
And here are few more images via Capa:

And right now ePhotozine published the world’s first review of this new lens. The verdict:
The Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE is a lovely lens to use, from the moment we look at the images on the screen or through the viewfinder. Selective depth of field makes manual focusing a breeze, subjects sing out against a beautifully diffused background. The Samyang is also gloriously smooth in operation, totally unobtrusive and a real photographer’s lens, where the camera becomes an extension of the photographer and does not intrude on the subject. The price is also very attractive, so Samyang fully deserves the accolade of Editor’s Choice.
What I found impressive iss the sharpness. As you see from the graph below (ePhotozine) the lens is sharp straight from the widest aperture!
Some European Stores listed the price of the new 17-28mm FE lens. It’s the same price as the 28-75mm FE!
The lens is listed at BHphoto with no pricing info yet.
Dxomark tested the A6400 sensor and there is really a small difference:
Anyone comparing the Sony A6300 and A6400 will find the results intriguing. Although the two models share a similar sensor resolution (pixel count) and the overall results are very close, the measurements are not identical.
Despite its slightly higher noise floor over the A6300, the new A6400 sensor performs well, combining a wide dynamic range over a highly useful range of ISO sensitivity settings and excellent low-light ISO capabilities. Although that directly impacts the color depth, the A6400 remains capable of delivering extremely pleasing images. Combine those attributes with the new AF system, 11fps continuous shooting, and a relatively affordable price, and you have a very enticing camera for sports and action photographers on a budget.
