Very first image of the new Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 FE autofocus “LAB” lens

Share

As you know Viltrox has announced a new “LAB” series lens that will have ultimate image quality. There first lens will be the 135mm f/1.8 E-mount Full Frame autofocus lens. And this is the first time we actually see the lens!

First thing you will notice are the many switches and buttons on the lens. You also see the LAB logo. No info on filter thread and price yet. I guess it will cost less than half of the Sony 135mm GM and be very close or even match the optical performance.

We may be close to see the day when Chinese manufacturer can offer super quality lenses for a very low price…

Fuji announced the new stunning GX100II with NEW Sony medium format sensor

Share

Fuji just announced the new GFX100II (preorders at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama). A full intro text can be read at Explora. The camera uses a NEW Sony 102MP medium format sensor.

You know I am a big believer in Sony also doing a medium format camera. I believe there is a market for that and Sony has some amazing medium format sensor (even bigger in size) they could use. Fingers crossed Sony will learn from Fuji’s success and offer a competitor in the years to come…
