Voigtlander announced a new “SE” line for the Sony E-mount system!

Today Voigtlander announced three new lenses which are makred with the “SE” tag. This means the lenses are optimized for stills photography: No declick mechanism and a lower price tag.

Here are the very first images via DC.watch:

Tactical game: Sony postpones product launch to avoid Canon product launch overlap

3 weeks ago Sony announced it would have a Cine focused product launch event on April 20. A week after Canon said they would also have such an even on April 20. That was quite an odd move from Canon. But today Sony quietly decided to postpone the event to April 30.

Anyway, most of us couldn’t care less. On both event we will likely get new Cine lenses and Camcorder stuff only. Do not expect to get an A7sIII or a new EOS-R camera :(
