I already told you that Sigma will announce a new FE 200mm f/2.0 lens on August 19. But there’s a curious surprise: Venus Optics will also soon announce a new FE 200mm f/2.0 lens, and we already have a picture of it!
Laowa 200mm f/2.0 specs:
There is no information on the price yet, but I’m sure it will cost less than the Sigma, although I expect the Sigma lens to be optically superior.

Also Becca Farsace published the camera review and she thinks “$ony got the story wrong…”
Curiosity: Zach Mayfield published the review of the ten year old RX1rII.

Dpreview published the full Sony RX1rIII review and concluded:
The RX1R III is the smallest full-frame camera on the market. It features a 35mm F2 lens that can be a touch soft at wide apertures but delivers the full resolution when stopped down. Its autofocus is best in class, in terms of speed and dependability. It’s an expensive camera and there are cheaper models with more features, but it’s hard to think of a photographers’ compact that takes better images so readily.
And this is the new review from Chelsea Northrup:

Just like the recently announced Sony RX1rIII also the Sony FX2 got little love from the “influencer” community. But two famous platforms do disagree!
CineD tested the Sony FX2 with the Blazar Mantis 1.33x 35mm Anamorphic Lens and writes:
To me, this is currently the most desirable compact camera in Sony’s FX line simply because of its built-in EVF. Yes, I’m fully aware of what people are saying about it, and yes, I wish it could record 50/60p in full frame (next to 120p in 4K), but when it comes to usability, especially during run&gun on a full sunny day, this camera is a winner. If technically possible, I hope that Sony will consider “upgrading” it by introducing new firmware, or better yet, introduce a new compact FX model that has the missing features but has a built-in EVF.
And Jeven Dovey thinks that this camera is ideal for creators who want cinema features in a compact, affordable body. Not for spec-chasers—but perfect for run-and-gun video makers who prioritize usability and image quality over spec sheet bragging rights:
On 19 August, Sigma will unveil the new 200mm f/2.0, the new 12mm f/1.4 (APS-C) and probably also the new 35mm f/1.2 II. I have published images of the latter two, but I don’t have any images of the 200mm lens yet. However, I have received some specifications:
Hope to get an image of this soon!
