Leica SL3 Reporter announced
High-end camera maker Leica has announced the Leica SL3 Reporter mirrorless camera. The new model is based on the existing Leica SL3 and has the same technical specs; however, it features a hard-wearing wearing scratch-resistant, dark green finish and attractive yet functional aramid body covering, which is said to improve grip. I don’t usually like special editions, but the Reporter versions are highly attractive and hugely popular. What’s more, they maintain high residuals should the time come to upgrade. The tough dark-green finish was used on earlier Reporter models (such as the M10, SL2-S and Q2 series). The same type of durable finish was also used on the original black…

Leica announces highly anticipated Leica M EV1 with electronic viewfinder
Leica has announced the Leica M EV1, a long-rumoured model based on the Leica M11 body and M-mount but with an electronic viewfinder instead of the rangefinder. I have called for this feature for some time, and I expect the demand will be high. Leica users will immediately notice the similarity between the existing Leica M and the Leica Q models, the latter being a fixed lens model with an electronic viewfinder and based on the rangefinder-equipped Leica M. The new Leica M EV1, therefore, is a synthesis of two models and features the full-frame 60MP BSI-CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology (60, 36 or 18 megapixels) of the Leica…

Five Key Takeaways from the Nikon ZR Full-Frame Cinema Camera specs
Nikon has announced the first Nikon-branded Cinema Camera after the acquisition of RED, the highly respected US-based cinema camera company. It’s a true hybrid in the sense that it adopts IP from both companies; the main components of the mirrorless Z6 III, including the sensor and Expeed 7 processor, and RED’s colour processing technology. As expected, the ZR features a rectangular box-shaped body, typical of entry-level cinema cameras. Here are the Five Key takeaways of the Nikon ZR Full-Frame Cinema Camera announcement: Camera Specifications and Features: The Nikon ZR features a 6K full-frame sensor capable of recording up to 6K/60p.

Sigma announces new 35mm F1.2 and 135mm F1.4 lenses for full-frame Sony and Leica cameras
Sigma has announced a new 35mm F1.2 DG Art series prime for Sony E-mount and Leica SL-mount cameras. This new DG II model is a completely new design and replaces the previous version. Being around 30% lighter and 20% shorter, it boasts a significant decrease in size and weight. The redesigned lens features one SLD element, four asphericals and an undisclosed number of elements made from high anomalous dispersion glass. It also features a floating element design by virtue of two High-response linear actuators, one each for the two focusing groups. When changing focus, the dedicated AF acutator in combination with the adoption of the aspherical elements “significantly suppresses focus-breathing,”…

Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B 1TB limited time deal at Amazon
Amazon UK has a limited-time deal on Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B 1TB [affiliate link*] at just £259.99 instead of the usual £300+ price (inc VAT). As a new Gen 4.0 card, the 1TB Type B Lexar has 3600/3000MB/s read/write speeds and, more importantly perhaps, a sustained (max) 2600MB/s write speed. I have one myself, and it’s both super fast and reliable. While most cameras benefit from those higher sustained write speeds, a suitable TB4 card reader is necessary to get the best out of it in workflow terms. *As an Amazon associate, I may earn commission on sales via these links.
