Sony announced the lightest and most compact 24mm f/1.4 FF lens on the market. Unlike so many other GM lenses this is a smaller lens than the DSLR lens competition. Nice!

First the bad news: Tomorrow Sony will NOT announce any new camera. And now the good news: Sony will announce a new 24mm f/1.4 GM and possibly a new 135mm GM lens too. The image on top shows the 24mm GM lens which looks quite compact in my eyes. Nice lens! Let’s hope Sony will not put a stupidly high price tag on it…
Fujirumors shared these accurate size comparisons with other medium format camera. The GFX50r will be announced next week and with a price tag of $4,500 be the cheapest and most compact medium format camera on the market.
Still the camera is much bigger than the X-E3:
Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC APS-C E-mount lens
Sigma is going to make everyone happy by announcing a new set of lenses. The image on tops shows the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 which will be available for MFT and Sony E-mount users. Below you can find their new Full Frame lenses which I suspect will be made available for Sony FE too:
Sigma 28mm f/1.4
Sigma 40mm f/1.4
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8
Sigma 60-600mm 4.5-6.3

Fujirumors shared these 100% accurate sketches of the new GFX-50R. Rumored specs beside the alreayd known 50 Megapixel sensor:
priced around $4,500
dual SD-card slot
no more cooling box
EVF only
2 axis tilt screen
first real life leaked image
This could be the first Medium Format for the masses! I know, $4,500 is still a lot of money, but only a couple of years ago you had to pay $10,000+ for these kind of cameras. And maybe next year the GFX-50R will get some discount and get closer to the $4,000 price…
