Nokishita reports that Voigtlander-Cosina will soon announce the new SUPER NOKTON 29ｍｍ f/0.8 Aspherical Micro Four Thirds lens!This should make it the currently world’s fastest photography lens in production. It beats the very low quality Ibelux f/0,85. You can find some faster used lenses on ebay but those are mainly designed for X-ray or other industrial use.

Today is a good day for MFT :)

The Micro Four Thirds future is still very uncertain. The big question is how willing JIP is to actually INVEST some money. The best guess for now is that they will start to CUT costs as much as it gets. And Panasonic may “downgrades” the system in favor of the APS-C L-mount cameras and lenses that they might announce in 2021.

In the meantime let’s check out the latest MFT rumors:
Sony has one newly developed MFT sensor ready for early 2021 (43rumors).
Will the Olympus 150-400mm PRO lens be announced around November 20 at the “Wild Bird Photo” event? (43rumors).
Panasonic will definitely focus on the High End MFT cameras while low end will not be priority (43rumors).

Now this question alone might piss off hardcore Fuji fanboys. But I think Thephoblographer has good reasons to put this question on the table. Sony for example will soon announce a new $1,000 Sony A5 soon. And from what  heard it ill have very decent specs to. This might put some heavy pressure on their APS-C system. And the pace of development of the GFX system is terribly slow compared to the Full Frame cameras.

So yes, hate me for this but I think Fuji FF makes a lot of sense.

Fujirumors reports two GFX rumors:

1. The GFX100 Pixel Shift Firmware coming in Late November. It will allow you to take 400MP shots on your cat! :)
2. The new GFX camera that will be announced in early 2021 definitely has the same 102MP sensor of the GFX100.

Image on top shows the current two fast wide angle primes: 20mm f/1.8 G and 24mm f/1.4 GM (via CameraSize).

SonyAlphaRumors reports that Sony will announce a new 16mm f/1.8 GM lens in 2021. It would become the fastest 16mm FF on the market. Yet the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 FE still beats it in terms of wide focal lengths.

Astrophotographers will love that lens.

CanonWatch reports that Canon has developed a new image sensor with these specifications:

• 21MP full frame sensor (6.4um)
• Global shutter
• 120dB dynamic range
• 120 fps
• Sensor based on the enhanced technology from the 2/3 inch GS sensor shown at ISSC 2017

CR reports that there might be two RF 35mm f/1.2L lens in development (one having Defocus Smoothing). And also two big telephoto are in the works. CanonWatch says this might be two 500mm and 300mm f/2.8 lenses.

Nokishita unveiled the new RF lens pricing:

• 50mm f/1.8 for $199
• 70-200mm f/4.0 for $1,599
