The first part of Dustin Abbott’s review is very good an interestingly enough he hasn’t experienced the bug that has plagued some no matter how hard he tries to reproduce the error. Also, several sources are now saying that the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE firmware update will be performed exactly the same way Sony firmware updates are performed so you will not need to send your lens in to be updated. Just attach it to your camera and plug it into the computer.

The Sony RX100VI is an interesting camera that will primarily appeal to vloggers, but initial impressions are very positive. It seems that the new 24-200mm lens is very well designed and tack sharp according to some early hands-on, but the camera does have a tendency to overheat, which you can see in Kai’s video multiple times. Maybe Sony should make a heatsink accessory in addition to the grip for serious vloggers.

Sony’s 24mm selection is very limited and if you value a compact design the Samyang 24mm f/2.8 is unmatched at this time. The Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE is $399 and can be pre-ordered at B&H Photo and Adorama. Amazon should follow soon. Of course, there is no substitute for speed and if you must have the f/1.4 Sigma 24mm it is currently available at B&H Photo / Adorama.

Sony patented a new mount design that condenses some of the lens handshake functions to reduce the mounts pint count. A normal E-mount pin count is 10-pins, but Sony’s new design is 8-pins. This could be a technology that Sony will use later in a medium format camera, but Fujifilm added pins for theirs for the ability to adapt lenses. This reduced pin count could also add flexibility going forward Since Sony could have more pins to work with if they reduce the native pin count of their lenses on a future system.
The Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE is $399 and can be pre-ordered at Adorama. B&H Photo and Amazon should follow shortly.
