New images of the Laowa CF 8-16mm F3.5-5.0 C-Dreamer lens

Share

CameraBeta reports that the lens will cost $349, with a 3-day pre-sale from the 10th-12th for $315. He also writes (Google translated):

Laowa yet-to-be-officially-released ultra-wide CF 8-16mm F3.5-5.0 C-Dreamer lens has arrived in an open box.

The new head still follows the design of the old Laowa Dreamer series, with a blue ring and all-metal, very solid materials.

The lens body provides a focus ring, zoom ring and aperture ring, according to the function of the ring is different, also provides different damping design, the focus ring adopts a small damping, convenient for fine-tuning, and afraid of accidental contact with the aperture ring, is to provide a larger damping.

Taking into account the needs of video users, the Click switch is provided on the lens body, which can be switched between stepped and stepless, which has basically become the design standard of the old Laowa lens.

Because it is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, the front lens group adopts a “bulb” design, the protruding front lens group will lead to the inability to use filters directly, but as a deep-rooted in the field of ultra-wide Old Laowa for many years, naturally, it is taken into account, with the lens comes with a connecting ring, you can connect to the front of the 86mm filters, the installation is very convenient, suitable for landscape photographers with the 86mm filters. It is very convenient for landscape photographers to use with filters.

The new head is suitable for APS-C format models and will be available in Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon RF and EF-M mount versions with pure manual focus.

It adopts 12 groups and 16 blades optical structure, the closest focusing distance is 0.2 meters, the filter interface is 86mm, size: 88.4 x 88.53mm, weight about 463g. put away

Surprise: Sony registered another professional camera in China! We will now soon get the A9III and “one more thing”!!!

Share

NYA spotted a second new Sony camera registration in China. This means we now have two “professional” cameras that will be announced soon!

  1. Back on September 4 Sony registered a camera with the code “WW559681”
  2. And the new addition has been registered on September 20 with the code “WW459276”

There are two important things we learn from those registrations:

  1. Those are “professional” cameras because both have 5.1MHz support. Low end Sony models usually only have 2.4MHz support
  2. We know from the past history that cameras get announced between 2,5 and 4 months after being registered in China. This would mean that both models will be announced between November and January!

I am near certain the first camera is for the upcoming new “Sony A9III” that might be announced as early as on November 8th (to be confirmed!). But the second one is still a mistery to me. My speculation for now is:

  1. Sony A7sIII successor (medium chance)
  2. Sony A1 successor (super low chance)
  3. New “facelift” model of the A7IV or A7rV (just like it happened with the Sony A7IIIa and Sony A7rIVa)
  4. New RX high end camera
  5. bit unlikely…but maybe ZV-E10II (even if original ZV-E10 only had 2.4MHz support)

As soon as I have more I will update you…in the meantime what do you think this second camera model will be?
