I got some good news about the upcoming Sony 20-70mm f/4.0 lens. First of all I can now confirm it has constant f/4.0 aperture and that lens will be announced next week on Jan 17. I also have been told the lens is optically superb with very little distortion (good news considering the 20mm at the wide end) and sharpness that beats the performance of the first generation 24-70mm GM.

Sony announced the Star Sphere project will now let you rent the Sony A7riV to shoot images from the space. They will launch the satellite with the Sony camera sometimes in 2023 and you can buy 90minutes time to remotely take all the images you want. All info is available here: https://starsphere.sony.com/en/service/

Next week (Jan 12) Sigma will announce the new 60-600mm FE lens. The retail price in Japan will be 297,000 yen. That’s around $2,200 (but real US retail price should be lower).
SPECS: 60-6
In Japan the Sony WX500 has been marked as discontinued. Also BHphoto marked it as “no longer available”. Compact cameras are a thing of the past…
