Sony might be very seriously considering launching this Drone!

Share

Back in 2018 Sony had patented this Sony Drone concept. I didn’t hear anything since than and thought Sony might stopped the project. But today a new patent surfaced that was filed just 3 months ago (October 8 2019).

This new patent explains in a more advanced way how the drone works. For example it has gesture controls:

I don’t know if Sony should really adventure in this market where DJI is currently having a big momentum…

First reviews proof the new Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO is an excellent lens!

Share

You can now preorder the new Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO APS-C E-mount lens at BHphoto and VenusOptics (worldwide shipment).

Opticallimits tested the X-mount version and concluded:

Not all Laowa lenses are excellent but some are and the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO is certainly among them. Canon, Fujifilm & the likes have reasons to get a little nervous by now. As of today, Laowa is still a niche player today but once they’ll be able to source the necessary parts for implementing AF and electronic coupling, they’ll be heading straight for the mainstream.

Also other reviewers like Christopher Frost, Micael Widell and Jonas Rask came to the same excellent conclusions!

Sony Artisan Bob Martin makes a typo and created a buzz :)

Share

Bob Martin is well known for testing new Sony gear ahead of their announcement. Two years ago he was spotted testing the 400mm GM lens. Today he posted this IG image claiming it was shot with the A7mk4.

Many readers asked me about this so I thought it might better to address this in a public way so that I don’t have to answer all mails. UPDATE: Bob Martin now corrected his post and indeed he meant the A7rIV and not the A7IV :)

Thanks Devan!
