The German company meyer Gorlitz announced the launch of a third lens for 2017. The hint comes via their current Kickstarter campagn for the 50mm Trioplan lens:

Restoring the Trioplan lens line means that all good things come in threes. Our major 2017 lens announcement will be the third and final Trioplan in our line-up.

The lens will be available in different mounts including Sony E, MFT, Fuji X and Canon EOS-M.

The bad news collection: Fuji X-T2, Olympus E-PL8 and Sony A5300 shipment will be delayed!

Quick bad news: The Komamoto Sony sensor production facility got damaged during the earthquake. And this will definitely have a huge impact on camera shipments. This is the latest info I got:

  1. Olympus will delay the new E-PL8 launch
  2. Sony will delay the A5300 launch. Not sure Sony will announce anything at all this June.
  3. The Fuji X-T2 will also ship later than expected

How long those camera shipments will be delayed has to be seen. The Sony sensor factory is planed to restart by end of May. Let’s hope there is no unexpected reason for an ulterior delay!
