Sony A7R VI confirmed May 13, monochrome goes mainstream, Kase AF mirror lens
From the Editor
Sony just confirmed the A7R VI drops May 13, and the story isn't the sensor, it's the platform reset: new body, new menus, new battery. That's a full ecosystem refresh, and it'll ripple through accessories, cages, and shooting habits. Elsewhere today, the industry is quietly deciding that niche is a business model, whether that's monochrome sensors, mirror lenses with autofocus, or handcrafted 6x17 pinholes.
