Thanks Niklas. Canon China posted a batch of sample pics shot using the new Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II lens, announced last week. The EF 35mm f/1.4L II is an innovative lens, featuring Blue Spectrum Refractive optics, a technology developed by Canon.
The new Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II will be available in October at $1,799. You can pre-order the new EF 35mm f/1.4L II: Amazon | Adorama | B&H Photo.
Today Canon announced they will introduce the Canon EOS M3 to the US market. To accompany the event, Canon released a sample video shot using the EOS M3 and a score of lenses (EF-M and EF/EF-S). The video above is the sample movie itself, below (after the break) you can watch the making-of of the video, and find all the pre-order links.
Ming Thein posted the last part of his Canon EOS 5Ds R long-term review. He compared the EOS 5Ds R to the Nikon D810 (and other cameras).
Ming Thein is a Nikon shooter. He tested the EOS 5Ds R, and says:
It is clear to me that neither Nikon nor Canon can claim to be decidedly superior at the moment, each with their own strengths and weaknesses – much like their equivalent lens lineups. Canon lacks Nikon’s new f1.8G primes, but Nikon lacks all of the special purpose stuff and some of the zooms – there is no 17 TSE, for starters. There’s no question that if I were a Canon shooter, I’d be very happy at the moment: you have a tool that’s miles ahead of anything else in the system, can hold its own against the competition most of the time, and can pull ahead if the conditions are right. If I shot only subjects under which I could satisfy those conditions – in a studio, or perhaps landscape or architecture – it would be very easy to justify a complete switch.
And: “Since my glass investment is already F mount, it is with great sadness, I have to bid the 5DSR goodbye. I’m missing it already“. There is more. Considerations, comparisons, beautiful sample pictures. Read the review.

Canon published a technical white paper about the Canon C300 Mark II. The paper gives interesting insights on the employed sensor technology.
Yannick Ciancanelli did some auto-focus testing with Canon lenses on the new Sony Alpha a7RII. Results seem to be by far not so stellar as many people claims in forums.

LensRentals’ Roger Cicala published pics and text of the latest teardown he performed in his lab. The Zeiss 85mm CP.2 T2.1 and the brand new Samyang/Rokinon Xeen 85mm T1.5, two Cine lenses, are the victims.
