Image on top shows the tilting EVF of this camera
By end of May Sony will announce a new Full Frame E-mount camera.. A new source told me that this new Sony camera will have a tilting EVF that works like on this Lumix camera. I’m still waiting for confirmation from trusted sources about this. But it would definitely be cool if it turns out to be true!

Opticallimits tested the new Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE lens and concluded:
Viltrox delivered another impressive lens – this time the ultra-fast Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE. It’s not only fast, but also capable of producing great image quality. It’s very sharp at f/1.2 and reaches greatness from f/2. Lateral CAs are low. Axial CAs are noticeable at large aperture settings, although not excessive. The vignetting is typical for such a lens. Images shows a slight pincushion distortions – and our pre-prod sample didn’t have a correction profile to eliminate them. The background bokeh is very smooth and out-of-focus highlights are nicely rendered.
The build quality is up to professional standards thanks to a weather-sealed all metal housing. The focus control ring is smooth. We wished that Viltrox had used a marked aperture ring instead of “infinite scrolling” but that’s a matter of taste. A more precise aperture change per “click” would have been nice, though. The AF is quick and noiseless.
Some may find it almost suspicious that we rated many (although not all) Viltrox lenses so highly. However, most of our rating depends on data, and it matches with what we can see in sample images. So, it is once again … highly recommended!
And here is one more review from Mathieu Stern:
