Amateur Photographer asked company managers what’s their situation regarding the worldwide chip shortage:

Sony said:

‘For camera products, there is currently a delay in parts procurement partly caused by the global shortage of semiconductors, which is affecting production of certain products.’

Zeiss said:

‘Of course, we at Zeiss are also affected by the shortage of semiconductors and price increases for components in the photo sector. However, we benefit from a manageable amount of semiconductor components in lenses, our long-standing and reliable supplier relationships and our long-term planning.’

Sigma said:

‘Since last year, the supply of not only semiconductors but also materials and components has been tightened due to the shutdown of factories and disruption of logistics caused by the COVID-19 lockdown in cities around the world, which is a problem common to all industries, not just cameras and interchangeable lenses. As for Sigma, despite the problems mentioned above, close cooperation with suppliers and our own efforts have resulted in no major impact on production and we have been operating smoothly so far. However, the outlook for the supply of materials and parts has become increasingly uncertain since the beginning of 2022, and there is a possibility that our production will be affected in the future. Sigma will do its utmost to fulfil its supply responsibilities in order to avoid causing inconvenience to our customers.’

Here are two reviews of the new features from ProAV TV and Phillip Bloom:

This is curious: You can preorder the new 135mm f/1.8 FE lens as Samyang version (Click here) or Rokinon version (Click here).

And sometimes this causes odd differences. The new 50mm f/1.4 II for example is $50 cheaper if you buy it as Samyang (Click here) than Rokinon (Click here).
