By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 9, 2025


Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4: B&H Photo

The Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4 was first listed on B&H Photo early here, but it was formally announced today. This lens features a full-frame design and is also compatible with the E-Mount system.

With its bright f/1.4 aperture and “true to sight” focal length, the Sony E Aurora 35mm f/1.4 Lens from Sirui is a classic wide-angle prime lens with a compact and lightweight design. The versatile focal length suits everything from street shooting to landscape and documentary subjects, and the fast maximum aperture excels in low-light and for controlling depth of field.

Potential Sony a7V Registration Found

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 8, 2025


A new registration in Thailand has been found, which is believed to be for the Sony a7V. However, there is a small chance that this registration is for a new line, as some Sony cameras have different designations for manufacturing in other countries. The current Sony A7IV is manufactured in Thailand, so this is likely the Sony a7V.
