One of the things I always carry with me is a power bank. But most of these are annoyingly slow in charging multiple items. So this might be for me (and for you). The world’s most Powerful 260W Graphene Power Bank is now available for preorder on Kickstarter (Click here to read everything about it).

Here are all the features explained:

And of you need really the CRAZY power bank check out the EcoFlow DELTA Pro: The Portable Home Battery on Kickstarter (Click here). it collectd over 7 million dollars and you can run a washmachine on it :)

Petapixel reports:

“Sony Electronics has been closely monitoring the evolving situation of the COVID-19 Delta Variant. As a result of the unprecedented and unexpected circumstances, we’ve made the difficult decision that we will not be participating in-person at this year’s WPPI Expo. As the world continues to grapple with the pandemic and businesses adopt digital alternatives and online opportunities to prevent the spread of the virus, Sony Electronics will continue to communicate with our customers and partners in ways that allow us to safely deliver exciting product news and updates to a wider audience and our broader Sony community. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and look forward to participating at industry events in-person at some point in the future.”

Not a surprise. I wonder when we will have “normal” trade shows again…

TTArtisan sent me a pre-production sample of their new TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 macro lens for review, the lens is not even announced yet.
It will be available very soon (Tentative date: September) and price will be under US$150 (TBC), but they are happy for me to post this review to share with my viewers first.

Godox announced this new MF12 flash you can preorder at BHphoto.

The Sony A9 has been officially marked as discontinued at BHphoto. The camera is “Only” 4 years old so this is a a bit unusually early. But in the high end market we alreayd have the A9II and A1 and I guess it doen’t make sense for Sony to keep so many high end models alive.
