The image on top shows you the Black Hole as seen in the movie Interstellar. But nobody yet has ever photographed a real Black Hole. While it would be impossible to see the black hole itself due to the fact that light simply cannot escape their gravitational pull and reach observers on Earth, scientists focused their efforts on procuring an image of its event horizon. And the Event Horizon Telescope is humanity first attempt to take a close up picture of this phenomena.
They will publish this image on April 10. You can watch the livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/c/VideosatNSF/live

We got two new Sony rumors:
There are also some rumors about a new E-mount cameras coming within June…could be a new A6500 successor?
DPreview interviewed Canon managers and here are some highlights:
– RF mount: “we were expecting it to be more suitable for designing wider-angle lenses, but it turned out to be very effective for designing this telephoto lens (70-200mm f/2.8)”
– About the PRO camera: “the pro-level camera that you’re expecting is on the way”
– Canon will keep developing the M-series
I hope the PRO camera will have a new kind of sensor that can be really close to Sony sensors!
Samyang is now teasing the launch of four new lenses this April. The following is just a guess of what we might get. From left to right:
What’s your bet?
Photonstophotos tested performance of the new Sony 150 Megapixel medium format sensor used by Phase One. You can see it’s noticeable better than the current GFX50s and A7rIII at Low and Mid ISO.
I wonder if we will ever see a mirrorless camera with that huge sensor inside…
