Samyang says doing MFT and X autofocus lenses is possible
Focus Numerique interviewed the Samyang managers at Photokina. There are two interesting points:
- Samyang said doing MFT and X-mount autofocus lenses is possible. But the market for those kind of lenses is small so they still don’t know if they will do it
- Samyang said they will start to make zoom lenses too. First for the XEEN cine lens line. And after that for the “normal” photography world.
Sony is still going to announce a new FE lens in October?
I guess most companies will not announce any new product this year. But Sony may be an exception! They still have some E-mount stuff to come.

The new Hasselblad X1D with 45mm fits inside the Pentax 645D body :)
MR reader Karol noticed that the Hasselblad X1D with the 45mm kit lens fits perfectly inside the Pentax 645D body. Both camera have the same Sony 51,4MP sensor. Quite impressive to see what Hasselblad has done here!
