Viltrox: Free Trial and New Lenses Coming in October

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 6, 2019


Viltrox has a lot of AF lenses coming soon for E Mount and they should start showing up in October if all goes well, according to Viltrox. Viltrox also has a trial program that will allow you to try a lens for two weeks before you buy. To take advantage of the offer you will need to email [email protected].

The Viltrox 85mm has been almost universally praised for its value even when compared to lenses 2-3x its price so Viltrox is probably looking to get the lens in more photographers hands since many are not familiar with the brand and its 85mm today.

Sony Alpha Universe 2019: Tokyo 10/12-10/13

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 5, 2019


Sony has another event planned for October 12th and 13th in Tokyo. The event page says the event is for Sony’s new APS-C cameras and the a7RIV, but there could be some announcements. Sony fans are patiently awaiting the Sony a7SIII and a9II, but no one is really sure when these cameras will be announced. I imagine Sony will prioritize the a9II since Nikon has the D6 coming, but Sony should also answer the Panasonic S1H soon too.

Sony Has E-Mount Camera Left to Announce

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 2, 2019


We have known about this camera for a while now and it is still believed that it is the Sony a7SIII, but it could also be the Sony a9II. I think Sony will answer the Panasonic S1H sooner rather than later with the Sony a7SIII, but I expect they will wait to announce the Sony a9II until Canon and Nikon launch their new sports cameras the Nikon D6 and Canon 1DX Mark III.
