Sonyalpharumors.com has upped the odds of the A7 III being announced tomorrow (26FEB2018) to 75%.\u00a0 Of course the calculus of rumor mongering is far from an exact science, but in this case I think he’s probably right.\u00a0 And just to sweeten the occasion Sigma has announced an FE mount lens.\u00a0 It is an Art Series 105mm f\/1.4.\u00a0 And it looks like a beast with its own tripod mount.\u00a0 Looking toward the horizon I hope after the announcement it won’t take long to learn if this new camera has good autofocus.\u00a0 One interesting development in the rumor is the fact that the autofocus system has more contrast detect points than phase detect ones.\u00a0 This continues a change in direction from the A9 which had many more phase detect than contrast.\u00a0 I’ve always thought the contrast detect points were much less functional so I see this as a bad sign.\u00a0 Time will tell.<\/p>\n
