Canon updates 9 bodies at once, Laowa goes AF zoom, Sony 100-400mm GM detailed
Chinese glass breakout
From the Editor
Canon quietly pushed firmware to nine bodies today, which is the kind of thing you notice only when your tracking suddenly works better mid-job. Meanwhile, the bigger pattern is in the glass: Laowa, Thypoch, and SG-Image all broke cover with autofocus zooms at the same show, and that's not a coincidence. Chinese third-party manufacturers just moved from 'cheap primes' to 'genuine AF zoom competition' in a single news cycle.
