Curiosity: Sony launched the official CP+ page which does NOT list the Sony A7sIII
Sony Japan has launched their official CP+ event page. The curiosity here is that they did not list the Sony A7sIII, A7cR and A6700. Don’t think we should interpret this as a sign the A7sIV, A6900 and A7cRII launch is close. It’s near certain that Sony will NOT announce a new camera in February. We are getting one or all of these lenses by end of February:
- 100-400mm f/4.0 GM
- 100-400mm G (don’t know if aperture is f/5.6-8.0)
- 16-28mm f/2.0 GM

First leaked image of this new super compact Kase 150mm f/5.6 REFLEX E-mount autofocus lens
What you see here is a truly unique lens! Thanks to its unique REFLEX design, it is the most compact 150 mm lens I have ever seen. It also supports full autofocus…which, in my opinion, is also a world first? Correct me if I am wrong.
Here are the know specs:
Kase 150mm f/5.6
- Full Frame
- Autofocus
- 67mm filter size
- AF/MF switch
- E-mount (probably Z and X mount coming to?)
Of course we all know that REFLEX lenses have inherently a slightly worse optical performance that lenses with a “regular” design. But int this case you might be willing to accept the compromise because no other lens gives you that reach in such a small size. Kase made a bunch of regular E-mount lenses and also some Reflex lenses you can find on those pages at Amazon and BHphoto.
Yongnuo will launch VCM motor lenses this year
The image shows the Yongnuo 85mm, which is not a new lens equipped with a VCM motor.
Information has emerged that Yongnuo will launch VCM motor lenses this year. The VCM motor, known as a voice coil motor, moves the lens using Lorentz force generated by an electrified coil in a magnetic field. It provides fast and stable performance.
