Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM Pre-Orders Begin

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 21, 2018


The Sony 24mm f/1.4 is now available for pre-order. This lens looks like an excellent option for those looking for fast aperture wide lens for low light and astrophotography. I also really like the lenses character from all of the launch coverage.

LUMINAR With Libraries Demoed For The First Time

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 20, 2018


Skylum is demoing their digital asset manager for Luminar called Libraries for the first time and it looks very clean. Luminar is one of my favorite editors and is most likely what I will move too once this is released so that I can get away from Adobe’s cash grab. In my experience, Luminar allows for rapid photo editing with great results and I can’t wait for the promised DAM to be released soon.

If you grab a copy of Luminar to try or buy use our link and you can save $10 with our sister sites discount code FUJIADDICT at checkout.

Sony Photokina 2018 Site Launched

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 19, 2018


Sony launched their Photokina 2018 site which shows the launch of the Sony HX99/HX95 at this time. We should see the announcement of the Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM, ZEISS Batis 40mm f/2 CF, Sony 135mm f/1.8 FE GM, and maybe the rumored professional APS-C a7000/a6800/a6700 along with some mark two cameras.

It would be very interesting if Sony decided to hit Photokina 2018 hard with high-end APS-C gear to combat Fujifilm and others, but at this time very little factual information exists about what is coming. Sony should also announce their Sony a7SIII, but it seems unlikely at this time since the Japanese sites that generally leak these details haven’t spilled anything big.

This has been a strangely quiet period leading up to Photokina, which starts Wednesday, 26 September and runs through Saturday, 29 September 2018. Only 7 days to go until we know for sure so stay tuned to SonyAddict for details.
