WILD RUMOR: New Sony A1 firmware is being tested by the Chinese Independent Cinematographers Association?

Share

A chinese Weibo account claims the new Sony A1 firmware is being tested by the Chinese Independent Cinematographers Association:

Recently, some photographers have upgraded to the latest firmware for the α1, which improves usability and AF performance, and carries over some of the features of the α7R V, such as subject recognition.

No idea if this is true. All we know for sure is that Sony said the A7IV and Z1F would get a firmware update in Spring to make them compatible with the new creators app. Here is my summary of all firmware update rumors:

Cosina announced three great lenses for Canon RF and Fuji X that might one day be available for E-mount too?

Voigtlander has announced three new lenses that will not be available for E-mount. But there is a fair chance some of those lenses will be released as E-mount version sometimes later. Also because at the CP+ show they already displayed a Z-mount version of this new 50mm lens (therefore hinting they will expand the mount options). So let’s check them out:

  • 50mm f/1.0 Full Frame lens for Canon RF
  • 35mm f/0.9 APS-C lens for Fuji X
  • 27mm f/2.0 APS-C pancake lens for Fuji X

Honestly I like all three lenses a lot! I do own the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 FE and I am super happy with it. If I would be a Sony APS-C camera owner I would gladly get a 27mm f/2.0 pancake lens. Such a lens is perfect for street photography!

Here are some images of the lenses displayed at the Cp+ show (courtesy of DC.watch and Mapcamera):
