The price of the 10mm f/2.8 FF AF lens has been leaked through google shop. This contains a link to this “private” Venus Optics URL: https://www.venuslens.net/product/private-laowa-10mm-f-2-8-ff-zero-d/ref/5/. The lens is coming to your home on Jan 31.
I guess official preorders will open any time soon!

This is the new Lumix 100mm f/2.8 macro lens that should be announced around Jan 8th. It should be the lightest macro lens in it’s class.

Now, this is super wild and I have no clue if this is BS or true. But an “influencer” just said that he will test a new Panasonic 6K camera coming in early January. I have been asked to not link to this youtube video to not get him in trouble…if he is really telling the truth.

For now only the 100mm f/2.8 macro lens is confirmed to be announced around Jan 8th.

I told you months ago that the SL3 with 60MP sensor would be coming in early 2024. Now LR seems to agree with me and shared those rumored specs:

• The Leica SL3 will use the same 60MP sensor as the M11/Q3
• There will be a new body that is only a bit smaller than the current SL2
• 6.5 stops image stabilization
• Phase detection AF
• 9fps continuous shooting
• Supports cropped 8K/30p and 4K/60p + full-frame & S35 C4K/30p
• Official announcement expected in the first quarter of 2024 (March?)
• The camera is already being tested in the field
• Registered Type 5404 model

I can now confirm that Panasonic will announce the new 100mm f/2.8 macro on January 8th. Some more info about this lens:

• Lightest 100mm Full Frame macro in it’s class
• Comes with two switches: One for AF-MF and one for the focus range (macro, from 50cm or full).
• Close focus distance is 0,204m (20,4cm)

So far got no info about anything else being announced on that day.

Panasonic is rumored to announce the new 100mm macro lens on January 8th. On a much older roadmap this was marked as having a f/2.8 aperture while on the latest roadmap there was no mention of the exact specs. I go the info about the announcement date from one new source…so let’s hope he is spot on because he claims also to knwo what’s coming after that lens 😉

Just got first hints about a possible new Panasonic announcement coming really very soon. If other sources have info about that please do contact me using this anonymous contact box or by sending me an email at lrumorscameras@gmail.com. Thanks!
