Full Frame mirrorless market share in Japan. Canon is catching up with Sony sales!
BCNranking unveiled the latest market share data and the trend is clear: Canon’s latest R5-R6 duo is selling well in Japan and Canon is now gaining terrain. Sony’s leadership is now at risk. It would have helped for Sony to launch the new A7IV but for some weird reasons they decided to wait til 2021 to launch this camera :(
Zeiss ZX1 will be officially available for preorder on October 29
As you know in early October the Zeiss ZX1 has been quickly listed for $6,000 at BHphoto (preorder price has now been removed). Today Nokishita confirmed the camera will be announced on October 29 at 19:00 Tokyo time. I guess we will also finally see some early hands-on review of this quite unusual camera!
The new 7artisans 18mm f/6.3 Ultra-Thin APS-C E-mount lens is now in Stock at Amazon US/EU. First review by Marc Alhadeff.
The new ultra thin lens is now in Stock at Amazon US, Amazon DE, Amazon UK.
Here are a few images from Marc Alahadeff with the first review conclusion:
The 7 Artisans 18mm F6.3 (69 USD) is an enjoyable toy lens , you can use it as a body cap on your camera !
It is highly pocketable and for street photography , indoor shoot you get some nice sharp photos provided your subject is at 3m minimum.
The look is vintage with strong vignetting and vintage colors (average contrast and faded colors)
The Lens suffers in bright conditions of strong purple color shift and low resistance to flareConsidering the above it is good to create a custom post process setting in Lightroom
All in all it, is a fun lens to use if you like the “Lomography” / Vintage rendering
You can’t go thinner and lighter than that lens !
