Sony holds back new FX5 stock, plus a stack of new lenses
Sony has pulled back newly arrived FX5 stock in the EU, asking dealers to inspect units before selling them on. Lens news fills out a quiet day — a $89 autofocus 50mm from TT Artisan, first samples from Samyang's new E-mount telephoto, and an eight-lens roadmap from Meike — alongside Fujifilm's shipment ranking and a photo project from David Slegers.
