Hasselblad X-Pan film camera
Next week (on June 22nd or the 23rd) Hasselblad is rumored to announce a new camera. I got this information from two different sources and I am now trying to get more details about this new camera.
Update #1: a reader sent me the link to this 50MP CCD full frame sensor.
Update #2: New Hasselblad mirrorless camera rumored to be announced on June 22nd at 14:00 (CET).
Update #3: the first teaser is already only + additional info.
There are new rumors about an upcoming M-mount camera with unique shape and CCD sensor with a resolution greater than 24MP.
There were some reports last year about Voigtlander considering to start a new line of digital cameras. If that’s the case, this will be a very interesting development: Leica will be finally getting a real rangefinder competitor.

A quick update on my last post about the Fuji X-T2 announcement date – the update is coming from the same source: the official announcement is now rumored to be on July 7th (see the invitation above, similar Fuji events are also scheduled in the US for the same date). Here are few leaked pictures of the upcoming Fuji X-T2 camera:
Panasonic is rumored to announce a new Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 ASPH lens on June 15th. Here are the first pictures of the lens:
Fuji 16mm f/1.8 lens patent
Fuji 150mm f/2 lens patent
Fuji recently filed a patent in Japan for a XF Fujinon 16mm f/1.8 and 150mm f/2 lenses. Another patent for a 20mm f/1.8 lens was also recently filed. Fuji already has a 18mm f/2 R and 23mm f/1.4 R lenses in their current XF lineup.
Canon has a new patent application for a 30mm f/2.8 DO full frame mirrorless lens.
→ Vello Nikon F lens to Sony E-Mount camera lens AF adapter now in stock.

The current version of the Sony 135mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss T* lens
I received a tip from a reader that Sony’s next A-mount lens will be an updated 135 f/1.8 ZA – this is one of their best selling ZA primes and the demand for an updated version is very high. Sony is planning to make the announcement prior to the Photokina show in September. The update will include a new T-coatings, weather-sealing and SSM. The 85mm and 35mm lenses are rumored to get a similar update in 2017.
The above Instagram picture is most likely of the upcoming Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR camera. The official announcement is expected before the Photokina show in September.
