Samyang goes Full Monty on E-mount: New 35mm f/1.4 announced!

Samyang announced one more new autofocus lens for the Sony FE system: It’s the new 35mm f/1.4 FE. It will go on sale in November for a price around 600 Euro and Dollars. The only official price we got so far is £599.00 (via ePhotozine)

And Samyang is also offering a new Lens Station for their FE lens line (info here).

Samyang is pushing hard to launch one FE lens after another. Current Sony and Zeiss lenses are very expensive and the Koreans probably see a good chance to fill the gap with some nice good quality but still low price autofocus FE lens.

Samyang is also rumored to launch a 135mm FE lens in November/December. While Sigma will announce their first FE lenses in February next year.

The new Canon Full Frame mirrorless is coming in 2018 and seems to have a”dedicated” new sensor

Canonrumors reports that the new Full Frame mirrorless that could be launched by end 2018 might have a newly developed sensor. This sensor is optimized for that specific camera. Canonwatch summed up the rumors we got so far:

  • Dedicated full frame CMOS sensor
  • Different sources and sites were reporting that early prototypes exist, at least to be tested inside Canon’s labs. This intel came in 2016 and early 2017.
  • Canon is possibly working on a full-frame mirrorless camera with EF mount. There have been rumors saying that Canon is delaying this camera because of issues in implementing the EF mount. There is a lot of talk about this. If Canon manages to engineer a full-frame mirrorless camera with EF mount, thus allowing us to use our beloved EF lenses on a smaller and hopefully performing body, it will be a winner. Imagine what you could do with a MILC that goes along with your EF lenses. There is serious a chance we may see this.
  • The latest bit of info I got suggests Canon will announce a full-frame mirrorless camera with a sensor having a resolution of 36-38MP.
  • A possible announcement date is around Photokina 2018, which happens in September.
