The new Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM lens will be announced tomorrow (Feb 21) at 15:00 London time. As usual expect me to do a liveblogging to cover all news and reviews on this lens.
Specs known so far:
What else is coming this week?
TAMRON:
Today Tamron announced a new X-lens development. But HowtoFly said that Tamron will have an announcement on Feb 22. Don’t know if he is right and there is one more lens coming or if he was wrong with the date.
SIGMA:
It’s unclear if the three new E-mount lenses will be announced this week or sometimes in March. Anyway, here are the very reliable specs of those lenses:
17mm F4 DG DN | Contemporary (Full Frame)
50mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary (Full Frame)
23mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary (APS-C)
A completely mechanical Sony Black edition camera (I quite like this one!)
I have tried Midjourney AI to create some new Sony camera design. Some of them are actually cool ideas and some are just silly and made for fun. And will post some more of them the next week on my Instagram channel (Click here).

TheVerge reviewed the new A7rV and wrote a clear conclusion:
The 61-megapixel full-frame sensor is brilliant, the autofocus tracking is impeccable, the articulating screen is the best around, and yet Sony cameras are still plagued by terrible ergonomics.
It’s time Sony completely rethinks the grips on all of its cameras. They need to be slightly taller, and they desperately need to be made of a higher quality, softer grip material.
We can’t forget that these devices must be designed for humans. Just like every camera has a diopter control to allow the viewfinder to be adjusted to our squishy, inefficient eyeballs, all cameras need a grip that’s going to be comfortable to hold and not feel like a torture device after extended use. Sony, if you can make a camera that can automatically distinguish between birds and bees, you should be more than capable of building one that doesn’t feel crappy to hold.
Any comments on that statement?
