Rumiere Noct-Master APO 75mm f/0.95 For Sony E-Mounts

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 9, 2019


Adam Werton posted photos of the Rumiere Noct-Master APO 75mm f/0.95 last month. Well, Photorumors is reporting that the lens is the Nisi 75mm f/0.95 that was reported last year here.

Photorumors also believes that this lens might have some issues since Nikonrumors reported that Nikon trademarked Noct for the Nikon Z-Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/0.95, but Noct-Master might skirt any legal infringement. It seems like companies will try to protect just about anything today, but very few enforce these kinds of protections.

Sony a9II Introduction Videos

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 8, 2019

Some are disappointed with the Sony a9II announcement because there was a lot of hype on some sites, but the a9II shows that Sony was really pushing the limits of mirrorless cameras with the original Sony a9. The Sony a9II is a pretty good incremental upgrade, but a discounted Sony a9 might be a better value.

It would have been nice if Sony included some of the Sony a7RIV improvements in the Sony a9II, but the additional weather resistance will certainly be welcome by sports photographers. Sony isn’t exactly known for its weather sealing yet.
