Oh yes, Sony just “leaked” the upcoming ZV-E10II

I have been telling you for months that the ZV-E10II will be the first Sony E-mount camera of the year. And in recent weeks I have had confirmation that it will be announced on July 10.

New Tamron patent discloses the design of a new 50-200mm f/2.8 FF lens

Asobinet spotted a newly published Tamron patent that discloses the specs and design of a new 50-200mm f/2.8 Full Frame lens. It’s a kind of lens that I really hope will come on the market. Why? Because usually these standard zoom types start at 70mm at the wide end. The 50mm adds a lot of flexibility. What do you think of this one?

What you see above is a rather unique Shift-ZOOM lens. It will be announced by Venus Optics on July 8. Usually these kinds of lenses are primes, so this could be a very interesting launch to follow. We don’t know the focal length and aperture yet, but it looks like it will be an APS-C lens (definitely coming for E mount as well).
