Sony Memory Card Shortage, Viltrox 85mm Under $500, Sigma Fast Primes Patent, Panasonic Kills ZS300 Viewfinder
Sony's pulling CFexpress and SD cards from sale indefinitely — stock up on third-party alternatives now before prices spike. On the brighter side, Viltrox's 85mm f/1.4 Pro just dropped to $478 on Sony FE, and reviewers are genuinely comparing it to the GM at half the price. Sigma's filing patents for a 24mm f/1.2 and 28mm f/1.2, which actually matters if you shoot events in that focal length range. Meanwhile, Panasonic inexplicably killed the viewfinder on the ZS300 — so if you own the ZS200, hold tight because the upgrade path just vanished. There's also solid reading this week on why technically perfect photos still feel empty and why darkroom printing demands a different headspace entirely.
