We have rumors about two new f/2.8 zooms:
UNCONFIRMED: Tamron might announce a new 28-180mm f/2.8 E-mount lens
CONFIRMED: Sigma will announce a new f/2.8 zoom E and L mount lens in early September
Nice!
Today is definitely a bad day on the stock market. Here you can see how much the shares of camera manufacturers have fallen. I personally don’t trade and am invested in ETFs for the long term. So I’m not worried at all and think that most of the losses will soon be recovered.
This camera was set to revolutionise the world of photography, but even with $40million worth of investment and a big media buzz, the Lytro Illum was a huge failure. So, where did they go wrong and why was it just so revolutionary?
Multiple reliable sources have confirmed that Sigma will announce a new f/2.8 full-frame zoom lens in early September. It will be available for Sony E and Leica L-mount lenses.
Stay tuned, we will be able to confirm the full specifications soon!
BCN reported the mirrorless market share for the month of June:
Sony took the top spot with 33.3% of the manufacturer’s market share, overtaking Canon to regain the top spot. Fujifilm came in fourth with a 10.7% share. This was the first time the company had been in the top four in 24 years. The release of the “FUJIFILM X-T50” boosted its market share.
The top 10 o the best selling cameras is:
Sony’s “VLOGCAM ZV-E10” took the top spot in the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera series sales ranking for June 2024. We look back on the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera market in June 2024 from the “BCN Ranking,” which compiles actual sales data from electronics retailers and online stores.
Following the No. 1 VLOGCAM ZV-E10 is the Canon EOS R50, which has maintained second place since January 2012. The company also has the EOS R10 in third place, meaning that two of its products are ranked in the top three. The top three products have remained unchanged for three consecutive months since April 2012.
New to the top ten is Fujifilm’s FUJIFILM X-T50. This new product features an appearance reminiscent of a classic film camera, and it got off to a good start in sixth place since its release month.
Sony’s α7C II is the only full-frame camera to make it into the top ten. It dropped one rank from sixth place last month to seventh place.
Fujirumors has gotten first solid info about the new fixed lens medium format camera coming in 2025:
Well, guided by our sources (THANKS), we can now say with certainty that it will be a 28mm equivalent lens. So the lens itself will give you a wider field of view than what you find for example in the lovely Fujifilm X100VI. It will be an f/3.2 lens, hence f/2.5 depth of field equivalent in full frame.
I personally love the idea of having a wider 28mm lens. We don’t have any other specs yet but my guess is that it will basically have the same GFX100II specs. Hope the price will not be too crazy high for this one.
