Sony will continue to post project-related information going forward, and remains engaged in co-creation activities leading up to the launch of Airpeak in order to gain feedback from professional drone users.
Yesterday we released the first images for Laowa Argus lenses and today we have the specs and price, which is quite afordable. These lenses should be listed on the Venus Optics Laowa first so check back if they interest you because they will likely end up backordered.
Sony’s recent 24mm f/1.4 GM lens was very well received and it looks like Sony is looking to follow it up with a Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM lens. The strangely blurred lens was spotted on the DPRForums at 3:06 in DPRTV’s Nikon Z7 II Review. The lens has a 67mm filter thread and the minimum focus distance is 27cm/0.89ft.
It’s interesting they are matching the front filter thread size of 67mm with the Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM, but because of the difference in minimal focus distance, we are 100% sure this is a new lens that DPR is trying to hide. They probably should have just changed the glass out.
Laowa had an event on January 9th where they announced multiple Argus lenses and released a roadmap. The Laowa Argus 45mm f/0.95 (Full Frame), Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 (Full Frame), and Laowa Argus CF33mm f/0.95 (APSC) should all be available for E-mount. The other lens they showed off was the Laowa Argus 25mm f/0.95 (m43). When the lenses become available you can order them directly from Venus Optics Laowa.
