It doesn’t sound like Canon want to aim the more advanced segment of the mirrorless market. CR. reports that: “Canon doesn’t have plans currently to launch more EOS M prime lenses, as they see the segment as “entry level”. What Canon could announce this summer is just a new EOS-M camera with a new 18-135mm zoom and another telephoto zoom. Canon truly doens’t want to hurt his own REBEL sales. But is that the right approach?
That happy Fuji rep is holding a yet not announced new Fuji camera :) The Swedish website Cyberphoto (google translation here) claims that the cameras hold by that smiling Fuji rep is a new model that Fuji will announce this summer: “unfortunately, we can not say whether it is compact or SLR. What we can say is that no current model is changed without Fujifilm expands its range. More information will come.“
Of course they did blur out the camera to make us more nervous :) But it’s easy to guess that this will be the rumored new X entry level system camera!
Nikon announced the fastest autofocus lens available for digital mirrorless systems. It’s the 32mm f/1,2 for the Nikon 1. A nice beast! You cna alreayd preorder it at Amazon in Black (Click here) and Silver (Click here).
Reminder: Also Panasonic plans to launch the 42,5mm lens by end 2013 and it will have the same fast f/1,2 aperture.

CanonWatch spotted that video showing a yet not announced Speed Booster adapter for the Canon EOS-M system! On Metabones website you can find NEX and X mount adapters only.
And by the way, Metabones isn’t the only manufacturer offering a “Speed Booster” solution. The Chinese company Mitakon now sold their first “Lens Turbo” adapters on .
The video on top shows you the official Zeiss Touit lens presentation. But marketing aside…how good are the lens in real testings made by “independent” reviewers? The Spanish website DSLRmagazine (google translation here) is the first website that had the pleasure to test the lenses. And the results are nothing less than stellar! They write that “The optical performance is the highest level we ever tested. You could say that at the moment are “state of the art” optics for CSC.“
Well done Zeiss…well done!

Eagmi spotted a new Japanese Tamron patent describing a 35mm f/1.4 lens made for mirrorless systems. I really hope that lens will soon become a real product! It is yet unknown for which system they could release it. For now Tamron only made one lens, the 18-200mm for Sony NEX (here at Amazon).
