RUMOR: Is this the new Sony 14mm f/1.8 GM lens?

Share

Three months ago I told you Sony might launch a new 16mm f/1.8 lens in 2021. One month ago the same source told me that Sony actually decided to make it a bit wider: 14mm f/1.8. And today I might got the firs evidence that indeed we will get a new 14mm f/1.8 lens. Another source sent me two images. The on on top shows the aperture ring of this lens. He also sent me an image sample I will not share now. But the EXIF shows this:

I have no info yet about when this lens will be announced.

P:S.: At the moment we have a 14mm f/1.8 FE lens form Sigma. But it’s an enormous lens :)

Sony produced 1,15 million mirrorless cameras in 2020 beating both Canon and Nikon

Share

The Japanese website Sankeibiz.jp unveiled the camera production numbers for 2020

2020 Mirrorless production

  • Gross domestic product … 3.26 million units
  • Sony … 1.15 million units
  • Canon … 1.05 million units
  • Nikon … 250,000 units

2020 Digital SLR production

  • Gross domestic product … 2.39 million units
  • Canon … 1.71 million units
  • Nikon … 650,000 units

So as you see Canon is still ahead of Sony if you count the total DSLR+Mirrorless production. Nikon is the company really struggling at the moment.

Curiosity: The Sony A9 just leaked a secret Dutch government document :)

Share

Funny note….Reuters reports:

Talks on forming a new Dutch government were put on hold on Thursday when one of the chief negotiators unwittingly revealed a sensitive document to a news photographer while rushing out of parliament after learning she had tested positive for COVID-19.

At Nos.nl you can see the actual photographer showing the leaked document on his Sony A9.

Thanks to the anonymous tipster!
