First reviews of the Sirui Autofocus 1.33x Anamorphic 40mm T/1.8

The new Sirui Autofocus 1.33x Anamorphic 40mm T/1.8 is now in Stock at BHphoto and Amazon. This is one of the two anamorphic lenses with autofocus you can get (the second is the 50mm t/1.8 1.33x from Blazar).

Lexar presents ARMOR GOLD SD Card with a stainless-steel construction that is 37x stronger than typical SD cards

Lexar announced the launch of an ‘indestructible’ SD card made entirely of stainless steel. Something like the Cybertruck of SD cards 🙂

The ARMOR GOLD SD Card with a stainless-steel construction that is 37x stronger than typical SD cards, it is designed to withstand grueling usage out in the wild while offering up to 210MB/s[1] write speed and Video Speed Class 60 (V60) to seamlessly capture 6K footage.

There is yet no info about when those cards will be available to market.

Additional note: Lots of Lexar gear has big discounts on their Amazon page (Click here) and at BHphoto.

P.S.: The lens was shows on the official Nikon lens roadmap a couple of years ago:
