Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 E-mount lens review by ePhotozine: “excellent photographic, creative qualities”

Share

Image by ePhotozine

This is the cheapest fastest APS-C E-mount lens you can buy: It costs $169 on Amazon US, Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT and Amazon ES.

And ePhotozine posted the full lens review:

KamLan has a simple, ambitiously specified lens for a very low price. It is well made, performs well and, within the limitations of manual focus and lagging edge quality, it is still a lens that delivers something very useful. The bright f/1.1 aperture is one thing and the gorgeous bokeh is another. The lens is not technically perfect, but it does have excellent photographic, creative qualities that could be used to advantage. At £126, there is little to lose.

Sony working on sensors with built-in lens layer

Share

As disclosed by patent JP2016/003349 Sony is working on a sensor with built-in lens structure array. This would allow Sony to make very thin cameras ideal for mobile devices and the automotive industry. But in the future this could become an interesting application for larger sensor fixed lens cameras too.

Manny Ortiz: Sony Full frame vs Sony Crop sensor. Is there a difference?

Share

Manny sent me the link to his video with this text:

In my video, I shoot with a full frame and crop sensor camera to compare the final images and the results are pretty surprising (Not really) The message of the video is that there isn’t much difference between the photos coming from both types of cameras and other factors play a bigger role!

Image on top shows the current 20mm f/2.8 A-mount lens

The following info is from a source whom shared a few correct info in the past.

He told me that Sony will launch a new 20mm f/2.8 Full Frame E-mount later this year. This will be part of the affordable FE lens series from Sony like the 50mm f/1.8 FE and 28mm f/2.0 FE. It will become a relatively compact lens like the 20mm A-mount version.

Quick FEreminder: 135mm and 400mm FE lenses are on Sony’s announcement roadmap too.
