Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8 FE Review at Photographyblog: “innovative prime lens that delivers the goods at a very attractive price”

Share

Photographyblog posted the full Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8 FE Review and concluded:

Samyang have one again produced an innovative prime lens that delivers the goods at a very attractive price. Other than the lack of weather-sealing (which would have inevitably made the lens bigger and heavier) and the fact that it doesn’t say Sony on the side, there really isn’t much to criticise here, making the new Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8 FE more than worthy of both your serious consideration and our Highly Recommended award.

Samyang 75mm f/1.8 FE preorder at BHphoto, Adorama and in Germany at Fotokoch.

Tamron 70-180mm FE preorders:
In USA at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama and FocusCamera.
In Eu at FotoKoch DE, Calumet DE, WexUK and ParkCameras.

Nate:

I spent the last month filming Seattle (one of the largest cities in the US) completely empty. A portion of the filming was with the A7iii and the 24mm f/1.4GM, so it’s still on topic. Feel free to share if you’d like; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qm9QZ_RzZc&feature=youtu.be

RUMOR: Sony will announce a new compact camera by end of May!

Share

I know I disappointed you when I told you that on the April 30 press event Sony would not announce anything interesting. But now I can finally (and confidently) say that the tide has turned. The next 3 months will be “very busy”. And today I will share the first part of the many rumors to come!

I can now tell you with 99% certainty that by end of May Sony will have the FIRST of a series of many announcements! And they are going to announce a new compact compact camera! Ee know in January this camera was registered on an Asian agency and uses the NP-BX1 battery so it may be a new RX100-RX1 or some other compact model.

UPDATE: Uh, I just got an info that this might be NOT named “RX” but something new :)

I hear you folks, I know RX isn’t the camera that you are waiting for. But don’t worry, I will tell you in my next rumor something you will love much more ;)
