Tamron 28-100mm F2.8, 35-150mm F2-2.8, and 35-150mm F2.8 Patents Found


Tamron might release an interesting Tamron 28-100mm f/2.8 in the future. The Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8, and Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8 probably are related to the slightly different Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD.

    of invention: Zoom lens and imaging device
  • Kind Code: A1 To provide a zoom lens that has a large aperture ratio, is compact overall, and has excellent optical performance, and an imaging apparatus that includes the zoom lens.
  • There is a strong market demand for a zoom lens that has a large aperture ratio and high optical performance in any imaging device.
  • In order to obtain a zoom lens with a small F-number and high optical performance, it is necessary to satisfactorily correct various aberrations caused by increasing the aperture ratio.
  • When moving images are captured using contrast AF or tracking AF, there is a phenomenon in which the size of the subject on the imaging surface changes as the focus group moves. When the change in image magnification due to such movement of the focus group is large, the photographer who observes the live view image feels uncomfortable.
  • According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a zoom lens that has a large aperture ratio, is compact overall, and has excellent optical performance, and an imaging apparatus having the zoom lens.

DPRTV: Sony a7RV Review – A Great Stills Camera Gets Better

DPRTV just posted its review, which you can watch above or read the summary of below:

  • Better experience than with other cameras
  • Updated EVF and IBIS are great
  • Controls are useable
  • Customizable color for focus box
  • Great articulating screen that can do everything
  • Most of the updated land well
  • Great AF that makes the camera a joy to use
  • Sony a7RIV is also a great option, but the updates make the a7RV a worthy upgrade
  • The image quality is great, just like the a7RIV
  • The sensor read-out speed could be better
  • Multishop mode motion correction is great to have to freeze moving subjects
  • Dust is still an issue on Sony bodies
  • You can now set the shutter to close when the lens is off, which helps with the dust
  • AF is excellent even for sports and action photography
  • Human recognition works well to keep on the subject you intended
  • Sony AF just keeps getting better, even with multiple subjects
  • Sony really only competes with Sony at this point since no one is close
  • Lots of video options that are useful, but the rolling shutter is very bad, so there is no idea record mode
  • Subsampled modes are the only somewhat acceptable way to deal with rolling shutter
  • Best video AF from a Sony camera so far, but not perfect
  • Video is compromised compared to other cameras
  • It’s a shame the video ends with all the negatives about video, because this is a great stills camera
