Will Voigtländer make a stunning 135mm f/1.2 FE lens?

Cosina-Voigtländer patented the design for these new Full Frame lenses:
- 25mm F2
- 75mm F1.8
- 135mm F2
- 135mm F1.2
Now this 135mm f/1.2 lens would be great don’t you think? Althaugh it will be hard to get things in focus with a manual focusing lens :)

US preorders are now open::
24mm f/2.8 at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. FocusCamera. BuyDig. Fotokoch DE. Park UK. Calumet UK.

Lenstip (Click here) tested the new 24mm and 40mm compact primes. The 40mm is definitely a better lens than the 24mm. But in both cases their main complain was the high price.
Also Digitialcameraworld (Click here) tested all three new compact primes. They also find the 24mm lens to be the opticall “weakest” of the three.

Sony vs Canon: After the 8K battle we might get the 100MP sensor battle in 2022!
![]()
The Canon vs Sony 8K battle has ended with the launch of the Sony A1. So what’s coming next? It’s rumored that both companies might race to be the first to offer a 100+ Megapixel Full Frame camera in 2022. Last year I shared the specs of this new Sony 102MP FF sensor with 6K video capability. So I guess this sensor (or a variation) could be used inside the future A7rV. I hope it has the same new sensor tech of the A1….which means very fast readout, same high resolution EVF and why not….the same fully articulating screen of the A9II.
I am actually an owner and big fan of the entire A7r series. I can’t wait to buy the new version and you?
