Panasonic Japan launches special CP+ page

Panasonic Japan writes:

The theme of the LUMIX booth at CP+2025 is “PLAY with COLOR.”

At this year’s LUMIX booth, in addition to being able to experience the imaging performance that is a hallmark of LUMIX, we will also be offering touch-and-try events and seminars/workshops that will enable users to discover their own ways of enjoying image creation,including a wide range of photo styles and real-time LUTs .

The curious interesting thing on this page is the “coming soon” seminar which I am 100% certain to be for the new Lumix S1rII 🙂

Sigma is rumored to soon announce a new 800mm f/6.3 lens

According to a Weibo source, Sigma will be presenting two new lenses at CP+. One is a zoom lens and one is a fixed focal length lens. The fixed focal length lens is said to be a new 800mm f/6.3 full-frame lens for Leica L and Sony E mount cameras. There is no information about the zoom lens, but it could ‘just’ be the full release of the previously teased Sigma 28-45mm T2 Cine L mount lens (listed here at BH).

This is not an info coming via my trusted sources, if you happen to know more about the Sigma announcement use this contact box or contact me via lrumorscameras@gmail.com. Thanks!
