The Transcontinenta Group, distributor NiSi Benelux, introduces the all-new NiSi 9mm F2.8 ultra-wide angle for APS-C Sony FE, Canon RF, Nikon Z and Fuji-X mirrorless cameras as well as M4/3 cameras.
NiSi has long been known among professional photographers as one of the best manufacturers of high-quality “square” filters and filter holders for almost every camera brand and type of lens. In recent years, NiSi has expanded its range to include circular filters, filters for luxury compact cameras from Sony, Ricoh and Fuji, a NiSi Close-up Lens Kit and an NM-180 Macro Focusing Rail. In early 2021, NiSi took the next step, using its technological know-how in manufacturing high-quality glass in developing NiSi’s first lens, the NiSi 15mm F4.0 for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Today, with the 9mm F2.8, NiSi presents the second ultra-wide-angle lens with an angle of view of a whopping 113 degrees, for APS-C and M4/3 mirrorless cameras.

Here is an interesting patent that we never thought we’d see from Canon. This one is for a “selfie stick” with all sorts of controls. You can extend, retract and change the angle of the camera on the end. You also have control over the shutter button.
Could this be the next unique product from Canon to follow the PowerShot Zoom and PowerShot Pick?

It looks like both SIGMA and Tamron are transitioning fully to mirrorless lens mounts, which was obviously an inevitable outcome.
According to Nikon Rumors, this information comes from a large retailer in the UK. We have seen big discounts on SIGMAs ART lenses over the last year, so we expect at least some of those lenses be discontinued.
In total, 18 SIGMA lenses received the axe, and Tamron cut their lineup by 22 lenses.
We do think that we’re going to see RF mount lenses from both SIGMA and Tamron in time. It’s not simply about Canon, both companies have to be able to develop, manufacture and support new lenses on a new mount and make money doing it.

Google Translated notice from Canon Japan
To customers using the continuous recording function for professional video cameras and digital cinema cameras
Thank you for using Canon products.
We have found that the following phenomenon rarely occurs in the professional video camera “XF605” under specific usage conditions. We have also confirmed the possibility of this phenomenon occurring in the EOS C70 and EOS R5C digital cinema cameras equipped with the same functions. There have been no reports of this phenomenon occurring with the EOS C70 and EOS R5C.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and concern caused to customers using this product. In the future, we will continue to implement thorough quality control so that our customers can use our products with peace of mind. Thank you for your understanding.
Repeatedly starting and stopping normal recording while the constant recording function is set may occasionally cause the camera to become inoperable. In addition, it has been confirmed that phenomena such as “FAN error” display and media access lamp blinking may occur at the same time as the operation becomes impossible.
* This phenomenon does not occur if the constant recording function is not set.
The constant recording function is a function that can be set only when MP4 is selected as the main recording setting, and constantly records images on one SD card without interlocking the REC switch.
Professional video camera “XF605”: Products whose serial number has a “2” or earlier in the seventh digit from the left
* The digital cinema cameras “EOS C70” and “EOS R5C” that may cause this phenomenon are as follows.
“EOS C70”: Products with firmware version 1.0.3.1 or earlier (Download the fix)
“EOS R5C”: Products with firmware version 1.0.1.1 or earlier
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please download the latest XF605 firmware and update it.
In addition, we are preparing to release firmware that corrects the above phenomenon for the two models of digital cinema cameras.
