New BRIGHTIN STAR AF Large Aperture Lens Coming Soon

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 4, 2023


Xingyao Optics announced on their Weibo that they are working on a large aperture autofocus lens, but the mounts are unknown at this time. E/Z/X mounts have been pretty safe bets for Asian AF lenses though. BRIGHTIN STAR lenses can be found on their Amazon Store.

Special November 7th Event Details Leaked: Sony a9III and FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Coming

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 4, 2023


Details have leaked on Weibo about Sony’s event on the 7th of November, which will be before the November 8th/9th event we covered here to announce new products. The details are:

Sony officially announced that it will hold a new product launch conference at 22:10 on November 7, and may release the A9 III camera and FE 300mm F2.8 GM lens.
Sony A9 III specifications (rumored):
33-megapixel full-frame stacked sensor,
40 fps 12 bit raw,
30 fps 14 bit raw,
4K60P recording,
no 8K video recording, no
mechanical shutter,
same body design as Sony A1 camera Ergonomics,
only $4498, about 32999

The Sony a9III sounds like it will be quite the camera, but I wonder how much Sony a9 and Sony a9II cameras will go for after the a9III starts to ship since both cameras are still excellent for capturing action.

7Artisans 24-96mm T2.9 Teased

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 4, 2023


The 7Artisans 24-96mm T2.9 is being teased all over Weibo including on the 7Artisans page where it is simply listed as a 4x zoom coming December. This could be a very compelling prosumer video lens if we are lucky since there aren’t many affordable video zoom lenses on the market at this time. 7Artisans lenses can be found on its Amazon store.
