Explorecams collected the EXIF data fromFlickr, 500px, and Pixbay to show what kind of brand, camera and lens is used most by their customers. Of course Canon and Nikon are leading the stats but Sony is on a good third position. And if you wonder what kind of Sony camera and lens are the most used check out here:
I am surprised to see the A58 on that list!

As you know Samyang promised to announces a new lens every Monday. Well yesterday’s announcement was underwhelming as they basically re-annnounced the Samyang 50mm f/1.4 AF lens for the Sony E-mount. The only real additional news is that the price in Europe will be 580 Euro (Soruce: Photoscala).
Reminder: The new Samyang 50mm f/1.4 FE autofocus lens is now available for preorder through BHphoto (Click here). Note that it’s branded Rokinon in USA and Wallimex in Germany-UK.

The new Nikon 105mm f/1.4 versus the [shoplink 48572]Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 A-mount lens[/shoplink]
Nikon will soon announce one of those new kind of products Sony should really “clone” as soon as it gets! On August 26 they will announce a new 105mm f/1.4 lens that will be priced around $2,200. This is one of those lenses that unleashes a highly “I want it” gear acquisition syndrome. I guess Sony is currently developing an E-mount version of their equally exciting [shoplink 48572]Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 A-mount lens[/shoplink]. But let’s see if a faster 105mm lens would be welcomed by our community:

The new Laowa 12mm f/2.8 E-mount lens on the Sony A7s
As I reported yesterday on July 30 Venus Optics will Kickstart a new Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Full Frame lens that will be available for both Sony mounts (A and E). We now got confirmations that there is now an additional special additional product for the E-mount folk:
It will be a E-mount Magic Shift Converter to convert the lens from 12mm f/2.8 (DSLR) into 17mm f/4 with +/- 10mm SHIFT & 360 rotation (Full Frame E-mount). The glass elements inside the converter ENLARGE the image circle of the lens in order to fulfil the shifting! See attached photo:
This is a very NEW thing in the market!
I can now confirm via multiple sources that Sony is set to increase the price in the whole Eurozone area (including UK). One of the sources added an interesting note:
Due to exchange rate movements almost all camera products will increase in price by around 10%. However the August date for the increase may not be so true as Sony are trying to wait for the competition to raise there prices first. It seems that Sony don’t want to be seen as the bad company that started it. So now it is like a poker game to see which company will show their hand first.
