Sony Has 32.1% of The Mirrorless Market

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 20, 2024


The Nikkei published 2023 numbers from Techno System Research stating that Sony currently controls 32.1% of the mirrorless camera market, which is impressive and clearly makes Sony the second-largest camera company right behind Canon. Fujifilm also seems to have grown some while Nikon’s market has shrunk substantially and other has grown some too.

Tamron BIG ZOOM Coming

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 19, 2024


Tamron has a big zoom lens coming that could be used for X and E mounts.

What’s Coming Next:
a Hasselblad zoom lens
a Tamron BIG ZOOM

Tamron’s nonstandard zoom ranges have been excellent, so I hope they give us a slightly more interesting lens than a Tamron 200-600mm.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 19, 2024


Voightlander launched a 75mm f/1.5 E-mount lens that can now be preordered on B&H Photo.

Voigtlander 75mm f1.5 NOKTON ASPHERICAL Overview
The Nokton 75mm f/1.5 Aspherical Lens from Voigtlander is a large aperture, manual focus lens for Sony E-mount cameras. This lens is optimized to cover a full-frame image circle, and it is equipped with electronic contacts, which provide Exif data to the camera body.
