I am at Photokina. What would you like me to ask?

[Andrew Reid]

What topics shall I broach with the manufacturers?

Throw any ideas my way and I'll do my best to find answers!

As much as possible about the new Leica 10-25 1.7. Price. Availability. Weight. Length. Focus throw. Image circle. If the stepless aperture ring works on non panny's. Minimum focus distance. Is it focus by wire? Just anything and everything about that lens.

Bitrate, FPS, inputs/outputs, codec etc. of the new Pannys would be really good to know. They barely mentioned anything about the video specs.

[Inazuma]

Why DFD?

Why don't mirrorless cameras have a dust guard?

Or maybe built-in NDs for that matter?

[Andrew Reid]

Good stuff here. I'm making a list. Keep it coming

Sony A7Siii anything, that seems to be the last missing component in the next batch of cameras.

I'd also like to know if Sony are updating their 4K action camera, as I'm in the market.. 

Thanks Andrew!

[Rinad Amir]

Rough price of 10-25 1.7 Pana Leica

and when can we preorder one?

[kye]

I'd also like to know if Canon are working on a small ILC cine camera. Maybe a C100iii or an ILC XC model or something in between.

I'm not optimistic though as AFAIK Canon have had their announcements and the C100 (2012) and C100ii (2014) schedule seems to have stopped completely.

Could you ask Samyang about the new anamorphic lenses? When, Where, How much??

 

Thanks!

[JurijTurnsek]

Ask Sony to invite you to their next unveiling event, since they obviously didn't want their product to be lost in all the announcements happening at Photokina. I would even go so far to say that their 24mm f1.4 press event was meant for something bigger (a new body), but they knew the buzz would get drowned out in all the L-mount speculation a week later.

[Inazuma]

Why is no one making a 35mm f2 or f1.8 for Sony E?

[Robert Collins]

The Laowa 10-18 FE lens looks very interesting and supposedly they have production copies at Photokina.

The Zeiss full frame compact gets announced tomorrow. Definitely worth a hands on if you get the chance.

I am interested in Tamron's future mirrorless plans

[mkabi]

Ask Hasselblad when the X2D will be announced and if 4K RAW will be implemented?

[Huuow]

Dont think we get specs out of them but maybe if you ask about the difference between the two panasonic ff.. So far we just know price and megapixels... Maybe they give us a hint. Is one just the little sister or has it certain features that the more expensive does not have..

My guess is that 4k is cropped and the lower 24mp allows for less of a crop.

[HockeyFan12]

When's the C200 price drop coming?

[Thpriest]

Following on from the m43 10-25 1.7 announcement could you ask if they have plans for a 35-100 1.7 (or equivalent). I'd maybe consider them over my Sigmas and Speedbooster.

[mercer]

Please ask Panny if/when they will update the FZ2000/2500. The FZ1000 was realeased in ‘14, the FZ2000/2500 was released in ‘16, should we expect an FZ3000/3500 this year?

[AlexTrinder96]

Would love some more info on the Samyang Anamorphics! Pricing, focal lengths etc...

Cheers Andrew

Also, I’m sure many of us would like to know when Nikon is updating the D5600?

I’d also like to know if they have any plans for an F Mount mirrorless.

The D5600 is already so small, I think a consumer tiered D5700 as a mirrorless with an F Mount could be a really smart move for Nikon. If they focus on the video features, with that extra room in the flange distance of an F Mount, they could implement built in ND filters.
