Nikon's modular camera platform, Tim Walker's queer Britain, Sigma leak
Nikon told Nikkei Shimbun it is building a shared engine and software platform for future cameras, with the image processor at the centre and sensors, memory and wireless swapped by configuration. Tim Walker's six-year portrait project on queer Britain starts from the Highbury Fields plaque marking Britain's first gay rights demonstration in 1970. Per Mirrorless Rumors, Sigma's 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS Contemporary has leaked ahead of an October 8 announcement, with 6.5 stops of stabilisation.
