Lensbaby just announced the new Trio 28mm f/3.5 Lens. Actually this is a lens with three different 28mm lenses. Each one has a specific look: Twist, Velvet, and Sweet. You can preorder the lens now for $279 at BHphoto, Adorama and WexUK. You can see Image samples at LensBaby. Video review by Cnet. Review by PCmag.
Press text:
Don’t waste time pulling a lens out of your bag or swapping optics with the Lensbaby Trio 28mm f/3.5 Lens. This pancake-style lens incorporates a rotating front that holds Twist, Velvet, and Sweet optics for selecting different effects at a moment’s notice. The Twist uses a true Petzval design for a sharp center area surrounded by a swirl of twisty bokeh. Velvet has a dreamy central area with a soft focus look along with a soft glow. Sweet creates a sharp spot of focus in the center with a gradual fall-off to blur. And, all of these can be carried without stuffing your bag with a variety of miscellaneous equipment.
Available here for Fujifilm X-mount cameras, the Trio will provide a 42mm equivalent field of view that provides a normal perspective for working in a wide range of shooting conditions. Also, it has a fixed f/3.5 optic that ensures predictable looks in a variety of situations. All of the optics are multi-coated for minimal flare and ghosting and it has a manual focusing ring for focusing anywhere form 8″ to infinity. Additionally, users can attach filters using the front 46mm thread for even more creative control.
- Works with APS-C cameras where the normal 42mm perspective that can be used to capture a variety of subjects, including street, portraits, landscapes, and more.
- Fixed f/3.5 aperture helps create a predictable effect in a wide range of situations.

First: More trusted sources confirmed that Sony is going ot have an E-mount announcement within the next 7-8 weeks. So this is no more a rumor but almost a fact :)
As usual with Sony the exact announcement date is very secret. It is also yet unclear what they will announce but from trusted sources we know the new Sony High End E-mount camera and the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens are almost ready to be launched.
What else could be announced? We know the A5100 got discontinued but until now I didn’t hear any info about the A5300. There is also a rumor from Kakaku about a new STF FE lens. And of course there is the new A7 mark III. The impossible rumor is that there might be a A65000 with 5 axis stabilization.
While I am working to gather some reliable info let us know:
Loading ...
A trusted Zeiss source told me Zeiss will have a new FE lens announcement at the PDN show in late October. Probably one new Batis lens. I am not sure yet about the focal length of the lens but previous unconfirmed rumors said this could be a tele lens (135mm???).

UDPATE: Rumor got downgraded from SR4 to SR3 as there may be a delay on the product launch….
