Sony 35mm f1.8 full frame mirrorless lens for curved sensor

Sony filed a patent application in Japan (2013-61476) for a full frame 35mm f/1.8 mirrorless lens designed for curved sensors. The patent contains also calculations for 35mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2.2 and 30mm f/2.0 lenses, all designed for a curved sensor. Sony, Nikon, Konica Minolta and others have also filed various patents for curved sensors in the past. The purpose of a curved sensor is to improve the sharpness in the corners of the image and reduce aberration.

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera announced

Update: B&H is now taking pre-orders for the new Blackmagic Pocket cinema camera.

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is now officially announced. You can get more details on the new camera from John Brawley’s blog where he writes:

“What BMD have done with this camera is to take a super 16 size version of the exact same awesome sensor that’s in the current BMCC and shrink the form factor down to that of an iPhone with a lens mount. Then they added what many have clamoured for. An internal battery that can be easily switched out.

The camera has an ACTIVE m4/3 lens mount.  That means you can use any of the Panasonic / Lumix or Olympus m4/3 lenses that are already out there, and using dumb adaptors you can mount almost any other lens to the camera, including SUPER 16 cinema lenses, which will cover the sensor perfectly, and are ideal if you want that vintage look.”
