Ted:Finally checking in with my first bit of news I can show! I’ll soon have news for the MFT DEC PRO coming out soon too.
Could we get a quick news/blog posting on our new monitor? Was just released today. I’m certain there will be a lot of positive feedback and viewership from this announcement. I’ll send you a model if you’d like to take a look at it.
The products are the VS-1 and VS-2 FINEHD. They’re basically 1920 x 1200 resolution versions of our very popular 7 inch monitors. The VS-2 comes with additional monitoring functions like histogram, false color and volume bar. This is the higher resolution than monitors five times the price.

(FT4) Panasonic-Leica 100-400mm lens should cost just under 2.000 Euro.

100-400mm

I previously said the Panasonic-Leica initial price is rumored to be close to $2,500. And the source also said he expects the street price to be $2-300 lower once the lens is available.

Now a second source from Europe told me the price will be just under 2.000 Euro. So let’s hope the last rumors are right and the lens is indeed a bit cheaper than expected.

Andres:The LX100 is a great travel companion. Documented a recent trip to Thailand in 4K (took almost no pictures). A good ND filter and steady hands are a must. For <$600 this camera is totally worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7dzRAasXQE

Smart! Sigma announces super strong new Ceramic Lens Filters!

Share

Sigma_filter

Sigma announced a new kind of protection filter. It’s made of Ceramic Glass and is water-repellent, scratch resistant and 10 times stronger than conventional filters:

Interchangeable lenses are the most important element of photographic expression, and to the photographer they are a valuable personal asset. To help photographers continue to use for many years the lens systems in which they have invested their time, knowledge, and budgets, SIGMA has developed original lens filters that meet the company’s high standards of excellence. In developing its new protective lens filter, SIGMA has leveraged an unprecedented cooperative relationship with a glass manufacturer, resulting in a completely new type of glass called Clear Glass Ceramic. Featuring this advanced material, the SIGMA WR CERAMIC PROTECTOR is a highly reliable filter with outstanding protective capability.

With many applications in aerospace and other industries, glass ceramic is an extremely tough type of crystallized glass that serves as the foundation for Clear Glass Ceramic. While featuring the high transmittance required of optical devices, this advanced new material combines greater hardness than chemically strengthened glass and greater flexibility than sapphire crystal glass. These qualities make Clear Glass Ceramic the ideal material for protective lens filters.
