Mirrorlessrumors reader “Zetton” sent in these pictures of the new Ibelux 40mm f/0.85 and Ibegon 12mm f/2.8 lenses. To date, the Ibelux is the fastest lens for native mirrorless system cameras, and will ship in March for $2,000. The Ibegon will have a price around $600, launch date is unknown yet.
The lenses will be available for the [shoplink 6091]Canon EOS M[/shoplink] mount (and for Fuji X, Sony E and Micro Four Thirds systems).
Another competitor is entering the 24-70mm game for full-frame DSLRs. The Tokina AT-X PRO 24–70 mm f/2.8 SD (IF) FX was seen on display at CP+. The lens is rumored to be announced at Photokina later this year.
It’s getting crowded in the 24-70mm offerings. Besides Canon’s own EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM [shoplink 2160](price & specs)[/shoplink] and EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM [shoplink 8251](price & specs)[/shoplink], there are also the Tamron AF 24-70mm f/2.8 VC [shoplink 12435](price & specs)[/shoplink] and the also rumored Sigma 24-70mm f/2 OS HSM (expected to be announced during 2014) not to mention the highly popular Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM [shoplink 230](price & specs)[/shoplink] and the new, outstanding Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM [shoplink 17019](price & specs)[/shoplink], which is defined as the new reference standard for professionals by DxOMark.

Canon EOS -1D C: B&H | Adorama | rent it at Borrow Lenses
Rumor has it that Canon is working on at least one new Cinema EOS camera, and that this camera could be announced in April for NAB. The new 4K Cinema camera(s) should be priced below $10000. Actually the Canon EOS-1D C is the least expensive option to step into 8bit 4k video, but still it is an option that set you back for $12000.
A less expensive 4k video gear would be very welcome.

Thanks Alan for the link.
The crop above is taken from a slide of Panasonic’s presentation of the GH4, and shows some (supposed) specs for the EOS 7D replacement. I previously reported about that. The whole presentation found its way to the web, and to the forums of Personal View as a downloadable PDF.
On page 10 you have the comparison with Panasonic’s competitors, and with a speculated successor of the Canon EOS 7D [shoplink 337](price & specs)[/shoplink]. These specs differ from previously reported specs, and describe a DSLR without any exciting feature, and look as if they were made by Panasonic’s marketing department. Hopefully Canon will surprise us with something more innovative. To sum up, the EOS 7D replacement specs shown at Panasonic’s GH4 presentation are:
To compare, the other rumored spec list for the EOS 7D replacement:
Hard to believe that the specs shown at Panasonic’s presentation have something to do with Canon’s next APS-C flagship. And it is hard to make predictions for the EOS 7D replacement, which should be announced around Q3 2014.
EOSHD posted a list of supposed specs of the successor of the Canon EOS 7D [shoplink 337](price & specs)[/shoplink]. The specs appear to have been mentioned during Panasonic’s presentation of the GH4.
The specs are different from previously rumored specs:
Hmm, same old AF system? Only 8 fps? No WiFi?
The rumor also suggests that the replacement for the EOS 7D is “in the hands of a very elite few pros at the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia, along with the Nikon D4S“.
For the time being it is not even sure that the 7D successor will be named EOS 7D Mark II :-)

Photo Rumors reports a rumor that if true will change a lot of things. Samyang is rumored to start producing auto-focusing lenses. This would be great. Samyang (or Rokinon or Bower etc) is known to produce well made lenses with very good optical properties. Having AF on those lenses would be great!
Samyang is also rumored to show a new logo, that appears to have already leaked (see pic above).
