100-400mm GM vs 70-200 GM vs 70-300
Tomorrow the 100-40mm FE GM lens is set to start shipping out in USA via BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, BestBuy. But Sony Japan just reported that the demand is much higher than expected so maybe not everyone will get the lens this week.
Patrick Murphy-Racey posted his 100-400mm GM video review:
The Chinese site Weibo reports the new 15mm f/2.0 Dream Lens preorders will start on July 28 and the lens will start shipping out on August 10 in China. The official price is 4980 yuan (~€633). Gobal Launch will follow after.
Those are the specs posted on Weibo:
Lens weight w/o shade ~500g is much better than 12mm f2.8. And image samples can also be seen on Weibo.
The current Laowa E-mount lenses in the line up are:
Venus Optics Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens for Sony E at [shopcountry 55644].
Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro Lens for Sony E at [shopcountry 55646].
Venus Optics Laowa 105mm f/2 Smooth Trans Focus Lens for Sony E at [shopcountry 55645].

The new Sony A7rIII (or A9r) is scheduled to hit the market in 2018. So there is still some time to wait. It’s likely it will have the current Sony A9 body and a new High Resolution sensor inside. Of course the big question is…
Loading ...Some quick PROS and CONS of having a crazy high resolution camera:
PROS:
– Better for large prints (But who really needs it?).
– Sometimes better for postprocessing (cropping , downsampling to reduce noise, and so on).
– Futureproof. Always nice to have the highest resolution quality of the photos you care about. And in future we may have 32K TV and other crazy stuff that might make it useful to have large files.
CONS:
– Makes the whole experience slower (Slow file saving, slow transfer, slow computer).
– Low frame rate makes it not suitable for sports and action photography in general
– Needs a lot of storage (SD cards, Computer, Online and hard disk backup).
– Diffraction limit on lenses. And you need good glass.
