On Monday at around 4pm London time Sony will announce two new lenses:
– The $14,000 600mm f/4.0 GM
– The $2,000 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G
There will be no new camera. The A9 successor is likely to be announced in 2-3 months from now!
The DPreviewTV team tested the new GFX100 (see video on top). I really do like this camera but the $10,000 price tag is a killer :(
GFX100 preorders:
In USA at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera and Amazon.
In EU at Calumet DE, Park Cameras UK and Jessops UK.
And here are some more Fuji news you might have missed:

Fuji registered a new camera with the code name FF190002 here (via nokishita). Fujirumors is 100% sure this is the new X-PRO3 which is going to be announced in autumn.
Babylonbee (via Petapixel) writes that a Canon spokesman said:
“If you spend at least $599 on a camera, you’re instantly transformed into a professional photographer, and now you have the documentation to prove it. In a lot of professions, you have to take classes or practice for years before you truly become a professional, but not in photography. Just buy one of our budget to mid-range cameras, and you’re in.”
It’s a joke folks :)
You can now preorder the new Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 lens for on Adorama (Click here). The lens is available for the Sony-E, Fuji-X, M4/3, EOS-M mounts.
The “Kamlan 50mm F1.1 MK2 APS-C lens” has a super large, bright f/1.1 aperture with 11 circular aperture iris that allows for great results in extreme low light conditions and also the ability to create beautifully creamy backgrounds. Brand new optical design can help you get great sharpness in all aperture range.
One of the key strengths of the Kamland 50mm f/1.1 MK2 is its high degree of color accuracy and richness. Unlike some normal large lenses, it does not introduce too much color cast to images but instead delivers a neutral, accurate color rendition even wide open. You can easily create great 3D effect and rich sense of atmosphere for your images.
Kamlan 50mm F1.1 MK2 features with dual high index of refraction element groups. It can calibrate the spherical aberration effectively. The result is your images will be sharp from minimum distance to infinity.43rumors
Further extending the flexibility of the lens is the ability focus down to just 0.4m (1.3ft), allowing you to fill the frame with your subject and throw the background dramatically out of focus.
Kamlan 50mm F1.1 MK2 features a larger diameter element with high index of refraction glass to help eliminate the onion rings. The whole defocus area is smooth and creamy.
The new April CIPA data has been published. And those of you that had some hopes things would go better this month can stop reading this article now. Your hopes were misplaced.
April 2019 system camera shipments were 27% lower in terms of units compared to April 2018. A quarter less cameras shipped…That’s a big deal! Of course it doesn’t help yet that Sony didn’t announce any new camera. Still, you would have expected the Canon RP and Panasonic S sales to fill the void…
