The previously rumored Sigma APS-C mirrorless lenses for Fujifilm X-mount are now officially announced: 16mm f/1.4, 30mm f/1.4, and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary (based on the existing Sigma APS-C mirrorless lenses). A fourth lens for Fuji X mount (Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8) is currently under development.
Here are the details on the three new lenses:
In addition to the new 20mm f/2 lens that was announced on February 9th, Sigma will have another “live broadcast” CP+ event tomorrow where they will probably announce new product(s):
Here is what is expected:
The Panasonic Lumix GH6 camera will be announced tomorrow at 8 PM EST.
There have been plenty of leaks (both pictures and specifications):
Dariusz Breś (see his previous posts) upscaled one of his photos taken with the Nikon Z7II camera from 4,000px to 16,000px with the Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI software. The results are impressive – you can download the 16,000px photo from Flickr:
The latest Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI version 5.8 was recently released with several improvements and it is currently 20 off until February 18 (you can use coupon code RUMORS15 to get an additional 15% off):
Today Skylum officially released Luminar Neo AI-driven photo editor (see previous coverage). The Luminar engine was built from the ground up – it uses artificial intelligence to analyze photos and perform AI-driven editing:
There are several subscription and license options, including a limited offer valid until March 3:
A quick update to my previous Panasonic Lumix GH6 camera blog posts – here is the freshly leaked GH6 full specifications PDF file:
The latest teaser from Venus Optics released a few days ago is probably for the previously rumored Venus Optics Laowa MFT 25mm f/0.95 lens. You can see that the picture on the teaser is identical:
After the new OM-1 announcement, the price of the previous Olympus OM-D E-M1X flagship failed by almost half to $1,699 at Adorama, B&H, and Amazon – this should be the very top range for an MFT camera if they really want to stay in business. Again, I have no issues with Olympus cameras but with their pricing strategy, which they seem to continue to follow even after OM System took over. I just don’t see how this will go well for OM System… Olympus tried that and failed.
