The new Pentax K-1 uses the Sony 36MP A7r sensor and has on sensor stabilization just like the new A7II-A7rII-A7sII cameras. But Pentax is using the stabilization system for one more feature not offered by the Sony cameras: Pixel Shift High Resolution shots! See the difference between the “normal” picture (on the left- 100% enlargement) and the “high-resolution” picture (on the right):

So you think it’s worth to have that feature? If yes Sony should really find a way to add this in current and future cameras!

Sony: “we do not exclude the possibility to make a medium format RX camera”

Share

Ms Sari and Mr Masashi Wakatsuki Kamiya, designer of the Sony RX1R II, and Raphael Terris (DSLR Magazine)

DSLRmagazine (google translation) talked with Mr Masashi Wakatsuki who is responsible for the RX1rII design.. Asked about the possibility of a Sony RX medium format camera he answered that every option is open at Sony.

If I can give an advice to Sony I would not go for a fixed lens RX medium format camera. I would go straight for a new medium format mirrorless system camera. Just like Fuji is rumored to show this year at Photokina. Even better idea…work in partnership with Fuji on the same system :)

World’s first time: Autofocus test with Nikon Ai lenses!

Share

This is a world’s first! The video above shows the autofocus performance with the [shoplink 45359 ebay]Nikon NIKKOR 24mm f/2.8 lens[/shoplink]. How this works is a bit weird: You have to use a combination of two adapters: The “normal” Nikon Ai to Leica M adapter and the new Leica M to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter.

There is also a new introduction video posted by MXcamera:

And here is a speed comparison with the new Fuji X-PRO2

Uk Optics announced the new Laowa 105mm f/2.0 STF lens. Here is the full press text:

LAOWA 105MM F2 (T3.2) STF LENS

UK OPTICS (LAOWA UK) is pleased to present the Laowa 105mm F2 STF Lens. STF stands for Smooth Trans Focus, in reference to its special optical system, which is intended to deliver smooth transitions between crisp in-focus areas and creamy defocused background or foreground areas. This unique manual focus only lens has an integrated apodisation filter that provides superior bokeh rendering and crystal sharp images.

Bildschirmfoto 2016-03-02 um 15.15.04

Full frame compatible lens featuring 11 elements in 8 groups with a 14 blade aperture* and a minimum focus distance of just 0.9M. All metal alloy construction housing multi-coated glass elements throughout. At a focal length of 105mm and with the inherent softly diffused bokeh, this lens is perfect for portraiture.

The Laowa 105mm F2 STF lens is one of only a few lenses currently offering an apodisation effect. Available later in March with an MSRP of £649.99, in the following mounts: Nikon, Canon, Sony A, Sony E and Pentax.
