Today we got two F-mount lens news:
1) Samyang officially released the new 14mm f/2.8 autofocus lens (specs at SamyangGlobal)
2) Zeiss is rumored to launch a new 100mm f/1.4 Otus lens at Photokina (found via Nokishita).
Both lenses can be obviously adapted on the future Nikon Z cameras…
Not sure how reliable this info is. But a source at Xitek claimed this:
“Just spoken to a franchise director at LCE, apparently Thursday will be a very exciting day indeed.
The adapter for the new mirrorless camera will pretty much be free when bought with either model, and the adaptor will make upto 400 lenses compatible so that’ll make all lenses with either electronic or mechanical apertures compatible.
The sensor will be better than the D850 owing to how they’ve constructed the diodes and the way it’s capturing more light, and the new range of lenses will have fresnel elements to give an ‘effective’ larger aperture (so I was told a 1.8 Will be marketed as 1.8 but behaves like a 1.4, and be tiny) much like their new 300mm that shrunk.
Pre orders coming Thursday to ship mid November”
Just chatting with the LCE branch manager, he said that obviously Thursday will be a very exciting day.
The German website Cameracreativ.de posted these mount size comparisons based on the rumored Z-mount size. On August 23 we will finally get the definitive and real Nikon Z specs. Stay tuned!
Nikon mirrorless vs Sony mirrorless. (FULL FRAME) … what do you think/ who’s going to win?
Nikon is launching their mirrorless camera system and Sony is about to be challenged in the space. Sony has been on top for so long with the mirrorless camera battle but thats just because they have been the only ones taking it serious. Well that is all changing with the Nikon mirrorless camera 2018 release, due in just a few days. The Nikon mirrorless camera specs seem to be right up there with the Sony A9 and could maybe even beat it. They are even bringing out a new Nikon mirrorless mount called the Z mount. The first two cameras are likely to be called the Nikon Z6 Z7 and the Nikon mirrorless lenses could be something pretty spectacular too. The Nikon f/0.95 lens. Say what!!!!!!! This could make the Nikon mirrorless camera full frame one of the most desirable cameras on the market. the Nikon z6 z7 comers will be 24mp and a huge 45 mp. wow. Nikon’s mirrorless camera video capabilities are going to be up there too. 4k recording at 30fps and who knows maybe time-lapse recording at 8K. wow. Nikon’s mirrorless camera leak have been happening to create some awesome buzz around their new system.
