This announcement leaves me about as moist as one of their cakes.

All this needs is an old Ninja 2 to make an interesting DIY CCD ProRes shooting cine camera with a smaller sensor 😉 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003731513738.html

It’s likely way too niche for them but I’d love to see the Chinese lens manufacturers like 7Artisans etc do some C mount Super 16mm lenses. It would avoid the eBay crapshoot and based on their Super35 prices they could probably produce some good stuff for circa £150 a pop or even less.

Thanks for posting that, it was really interesting.

Locked off shots and not using ISO One Billion to make night time look like broad daylight, what sort of heresy is this ?

I certainly think that Sigma manufacturing all of it’s cameras and lenses in Japan would qualify for them to be in that category. https://www.sigma-global.com/en/about/manufacture/

Well it looks like you can’t keep a good man (and his Lamborghini) down. It is currently going about as well as expected.

And.... Hang on, you are him aren't you ?

I will mainly be spending the festive period on very long walks of self loathing and contemplating the sheer scale of the hubris involved in this statement. In 2025, as part of my ambitious expansion plans, I plan to fail miserably at delivering those five products and an additional two new ones.

Funnily enough, the Nikon rumour mill was churning out that Nikon are making a version of the FTZ in 2025 with a motor for screw drive lenses a couple of days ago. Monster already do such a one for adapting to E mount. https://www.monsteradapter.com/products/la-fe2-nikon-f-mount-lenses-to-sony-e-mount-cameras-adapter-with-af-motor-built-in

The circular shaped piece of concrete ? That the bottom layer of the sponge cake they served me. And is likely to be incompatible with water from anywhere else.

To be fair, maybe they gave me the day old ones after looking out of the window and seeing me having the temerity to do this.

Also, whilst we are at it about Leica, the cakes at the cafe at their museum in Wetzlar are dry.

I’ve been in a few camera shops over the years….ahem. Across all those times in different shops in different cities and different countries, I have only been treated with that sort of contempt twice. Both times were in Leica stores. It was very much like this..
