Here are a couple of new rumors coming from the mirrorless world:
1) Panasonic will add V-LOG on the GH4 via a new firmware update coming in October
2) Olympus will improve the High Resolution mode viw firmware upgrade (coming within days?)
3) Sony will launch a new FE 85mm f/1.4 G lens with “creamy” f/1.4 look.
No new rumor yet from Fuji-Samsung-Nikon…

Let’s hope samsung adds a log curve to nx1 as well, otherwise gh4 will be more competitive for those ‘cooking’ their videos in post.
Now Sony has 5axis IBIS then lenses should be higher and smaller – as no need to have IS – of course I doubt Sony will make them cheaper although it will be cheaper for them with no IS –
Sony just came out with a rear thing – a Sony branded lens – the 90mm F2.8 Macro lens which of course can make a good Portrait lens as well – for $1098 – and is there not a Zeiss Otus 90mm F2.8 out as well –
So is this going be a Sony branded lens or yet another Zeiss – somehow I suspect another Zeiss lens – I would assume price to be around $2200 – but of course it would be the fastest FE lens so far if I am correct –
I guess one should be glad there is more FE glass coming but it seems to all be $1000 and more
While the Batis 85mm f:1.8 is so big I think the 85mm f:1.4 Sony FE will be bigger than nikon’s 85/1.4 🙂 (just like the Sony/Zeiss 35/1,4 is bigger and heavier than the Nikon 35/1.4 and like the 55/1.8 Sony is at least as big as the 50mm f:1.4 Nikon).
“Sony will launch a new Minolta G lens” reads like “Arnold Schwarzenegger will play Luke Skywalker”.
