Press release:
New advanced, super high-quality, fast, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens
SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A041)
August 31, 2018, Saitama, Japan–Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shiro Ajisaka), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the launch of a new high-speed ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, the SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A041), for full-frame DSLR cameras.
With a well-established reputation for ultra-high-quality wide-angle zoom lenses with its Model A012, Tamron carries on the tradition of high optical performance with the new SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A041). By incorporating an XGM (eXpanded Glass Molded Aspherical) lens element, as well as multiple LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements, the distortion and lateral chromatic aberrations so common in wide-angle shooting have been greatly minimized. Furthermore, a newly developed AX (Anti-reflection eXpand) Coating has been applied to reduce ghosting and flare more thoroughly than ever before. The optical performance in this high-speed F/2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with a focal length starting at 15mm is outstanding. In addition, the built-in Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) enables vastly improved AF speed and precision, and image stabilization. This is a next-generation super high-quality, high-speed ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with first-rate optics and a wide range of features that serve to revitalize the shooting experience. With the release of this model, three* of Tamron’s high-speed F/2.8 zoom lens with VC (Vibration Compensation) are now G2 (Generation 2).

Nokishita posted what is likely the definitive list of new gear Canon is going to announce ahead of Photokina 2018, starting by next week.
Canon EOS R (the full frame mirrorless camera)
Canon EOS R with 24-105mm lens kit
Canon RF 35mm F/1.8 M IS
Canon RF 50mm F/1.2L USM
Canon RF 28-70mm F/2L USM
Canon RF 24-105mm F/4L USM
Canon EF-M 32mm F/1.4 STM
Canon EF 400 mm F/2.8L III
Canon EF 600 mm F/4L III
R adapter (please note: there may be three adapters. M.ADAP R, M.ADAP R ND, M.ADAP R PL. At the time being we are not sure what the different codes/names mean)
PD – E1 is also included in the accessory list
As you can see, a pretty decent gear list, and a cool lens line-up. Good to know that Canon will start with some interesting lenses for their new system. The new Canon EOS R system is getting three L lenses from the beginning. Good move Canon!
Is the Canon RF 28-70mm F/2L a world’s first? And how big will this lens be? It has to be a massive piece of glass having f/2 for a FF sensor. I think it’s a very smart move by Canon to announce the Canon EOS R along with a 50mm f/1.2L, and with two classic zoom lenses for FF cameras, the afore mentioned RF 28-70mm F/2L and the RF 24-105mm F/4L. Not sure what the “M” in RF 35mm F/1.8 M IS means but a fast 35mm lens rounds up very well the initial R mount lens line-up.
The Canon EOS R was rumored to have IBIS (In Camera Image Stabilisation). I wonder if this still makes sense given that one lens appears to have image stabilisation (IS). However, IBIS is still an option I’d not exclude.
The Canon EOS R might obfuscate Nikon’s Z6 and Z7, alone for the initial lens offering. Add to this that most likely the Canon EOS R will shoot 4K video with Dual Pixel AF and you may see a real winner here.
I am also very happy that eventually Canon is releasing a fast prime for the EOS M system, the 32mm f/1.4. This was one needed and will be part of my EOS M kit asap.
Announcements will start on September 5, 2018. Exciting times ahead.
Atsushi Suzuki, Nikon Optical Engineer and Technical Liaison, illustrates the structure and design of the new Nikon Z mount system. The Z mount is featured on Nikon’s brand new full frame mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7.
Canon is also rumored to introduce a new mount type on their upcoming full frame mirrorless cameras.
Things are heating up ahead of next week’s Canon announcement. For those who have been on a different planet for the last weeks: rumors have it that on September 4/5 Canon might announce (at least) one of the two full frame mirrorless cameras the company has on schedule. Please note that you may be very disappointed by next week’s announcement. More about that later or tomorrow.
After our very basic specification list for Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera, Canon Rumors got some more bits, the most interesting being the supposed moniker of Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera, and that Canon might introduce a new mount type.
Name: Canon EOS R
RF Mount (New mount, possible EF compatibility?)
No reports of new “RF” lenses being announced alongside the body.
All in all nothing that’s not at least plausible. A new mount type has been rumored many times. If this Canon full frame mirrorless camera is going to compete with the Nikon Z6, then it hardy will be a professional-oriented MILC. Is Canon still scared to cannibalise their DSLR market?
All Canon full frame mirrorless rumors are listed here.
The Lucie Technical Awards aim to honor the large and small companies, as well as the individuals, who have advanced the photographic industry in a given year. The Lucie Technical Awards are an initiative of the Lucie Foundation, and a sister program of The Lucie Awards. The Lucie Awards are hosted at Photo Plus Expo 2018.
For the first time the Lucie Technical Awards will present the “Chuck Westfall Technical Education Award“, named after the late Chuck Westfall, a Canon legend and the company’s most prominent spokesperson and “technical educator” for the masses. And a very nice person. Chuck Westfall passed away in March 2018.
Press release:
Los Angeles, CA—The fourth Lucie Technical Awards, an annual initiative of the Lucie Foundation and sister program of the Lucie Awards, will take place in New York City. The awards will be held on Thursday, October 25, 2018, during the PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. There will be a 5:30 p.m. reception followed by the 6:30 p.m. awards presentation.
Held just prior to the Lucie Awards weekend, the Lucie Technical Awards embraces a large and critical segment of the photographic community. The awards honor the large and small companies as well as the individuals that have advanced the photographic industry in a particular year. All-inclusive, these awards intend to encompass items such as cameras, lenses and lighting as well as accessories, printers, software and more.
Fourth Lucie Technical Awards Feature Chuck Westfall Award
In addition, this year for the first time, the Lucie Technical Awards will be presenting the Chuck Westfall Technical Education Award. The award is named in honor of the late legendary Canon spokesperson who was a “teacher of technology” to journalists and industry members for more than 35 years.
Despite his long battle with cancer, Chuck Westfall remained a transcendent, authentic spirit who loved photography and the photo industry. This distinguished honor is bestowed on an influential voice in the photographic industry who displays an extraordinary commitment to as well as love for the art and technology of photography.
Moreover, the recipient will have demonstrated a tireless effort to share their extensive knowledge with others, either through interactions with the media, written or published documents, as well as public appearances and presentations.
“For the fourth year in a row, we spotlight an ever-growing segment of our beloved photographic community by embracing those whose penchant for the technological lifts up the talented image makers. Many of whom we honor just a few days later at the Lucie Awards,” said Hossein Farmani, the founder of the Lucie Technical Awards. “It is also with great pleasure that we add the Chuck Westfall Technical Education Award, to the festivities.”
The 16th Annual Lucie Awards will follow on Sunday, October 28, at Zankel Hall in New York City’s Carnegie Hall.
