Samyang announces AF 85mm f/1.4 F, MF 14mm f/2.8 Z and MF 85mm f/1.4 Z lenses

Samyang MF 85mm F1.4 Z


Third-party lens manufacturer Samyang has unveiled a triplet of Nikon-specific wide-aperture lenses, including two options for the company's latest Z-mount bodies.
The MF 14mm f/2.8 Z and MF 85mm f/1.4 Z are some of the first third-party lenses developed for Nikon's latest mirrorless mount, as featured on the Nikon Z6 and Z7 bodies. 
As the name indicates, both options are manual-focus only, and they join a modest selection of Z-mount lenses released by Nikon so far for its system. The company is fast developing a range of further native lenses, although current Z6 and Z7 owners can also use F-mount lenses via an optional FTZ adapter.
Nikon's DSLR owners also have a new arrival to get excited about. The AF 85mm f/1.4 F has the honor of being Samyang's second optic for Nikon F-mount bodies, following the arrival last year of the AF 14mm f/2.8 F. The lens features an autofocus system and a nine-bladed aperture for circular bokeh, and promises edge-to-edge sharpness at even wider apertures. 
All three lenses are Ultra Multi Coated (UMC) for better light transmission and aberration suppression, and all have been crafted with weather- and dust-resistant barrels.

There's no word on pricing for the new lenses as yet, although Samyang has said it will be exhibiting the new optics at the China International Photograph & Electrical Imaging Machinery and Technology Fair (China P&E) 2019 in Beijing, which runs from April 12-15.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose.

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago.

Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
