Curiosity: Sony launched the official CP+ page which does NOT list the Sony A7sIII

Share

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

Share

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.

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.
