Tokina FiRIN 100mm f/2.8 FE Macro Lens for Sony E-Mount ($599 from B&H Photo | Adorama) is a short telephoto macro lens, offering a life-size, 1:1 maximum magnification along with an 11.8″ minimum focusing distance. This lens uses a flat-field optical design to yield realistic rendering, void of field curvature, as well as high sharpness and clarity throughout the focusing range. Multi-layer coating has been applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and improved color fidelity.

Autofocus design offers quick and accurate focusing control, and full-time manual focus override allows fine-tuning the focus position for critical applications. Additionally, electronic contacts are integrated into the mount design to permit seamless communication of distance and aperture information to the camera body in order to support the use of focusing aids, in-camera image stabilization, and an EVF distance scale

Mitakon has officially announced version III of their Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Mark III FE lens

Shenyang China, Apr 17, 2019 – Zhongyi Optics (ZY Optics) have released the new Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 version III for full frame Sony E, Nikon Z and Canon RF cameras.

Offering a natural 50mm perspective along with an ultra-fast f/0.95 maximum aperture, the Mitakon 50mm f/0.95 is a compact prime characterized by its bright f/0.95 aperture to suit working in low-light conditions. It also affords a great degree of control over depth-of-field for isolating subjects from the background and producing selective focus effects.

The new version III features a new optics design which offers a slightly more compact size and a better flare resistance. A carefully-designed 10 elements in 7 groups optics system with 1pc of HRI (High Refractive Index) & 5pcs of UD (Ultra-low dispersion) elements successfully minimizes the chromatic aberrations and delivers exceptional image quality.

An eleven-blade diaphragm helps to produce a softly diffused out-of-focus rendering (bokeh). The enclosure of the lens is made of metal to strengthen its durability.

The Recommended Retail price (before tax) is $799 USD.

Sony a7R III & a7 III FW 3.00 enables Real Time Eye AF. Once enabled, the camera will search and track for eyes WITHIN the chosen focus area.

Activating Real Time Eye AF

Menu > Camera Settings 1 > AF2 > Face/Eye AF Settings > Face/Eye Priority in AF > On

How Real Time Eye AF works with Different Focus Areas

[WIDE] Real Time Eye AF will search & track an eye in the entire frame

[ZONE] Real Time Eye AF will search & track an eye in the within the selected Zone

[CENTER] Real Time Eye AF will search & track an eye in the center of the frame (Not recommended)

[FLEXIBLE SPOT: L,M,S] Real Time Eye AF will search & track an eye within the selected Flexible Spot
(Large works best for this setting)

[EXPAND FLEXIBLE SPOT] Real Time Eye AF will search & track an eye in the area within or surrounding the Flexible Spot

[LOCK-ON AF: EXPAND FLEXIBLE SPOT] Not compatible with Real Time Eye AF

Why Lock-on AF is Not Compatible with Real Time Eye AF

Lock-on AF is designed to track an object – not an eye. Enabling Lock-on AF the camera will track objects instead of an eye, unless you do the following:

Enabling ‘Eye AF Classic’

If you’re one of those people who want Eye AF to work with the press of a Custom Button like it used to, Eye AF function can also be used by assigning [Eye AF] to a Custom Button to activate it.

The camera can focus on eyes as long as you press & hold the Custom Button. This is useful when you want to temporarily apply the Eye AF function to the entire screen regardless of the setting for [Focus Area].

For instance, if [Focus Area] is set to [Flexible Spot] and you want the camera to focus on an eye outside of the focusing frame, you can apply the Eye AF function by press & hold the Custom Button to which [Eye AF] has been assigned, without changing [Focus Area].”

Turning off Real Time Eye AF

If you really want to roll old school, you can turn off Real Time Eye AF entirely.

Menu > Camera Settings 1 > AF2 > Face/Eye AF Settings > Face/Eye Priority in AF > Off

Then simply press & hold a Custom Button assigned to Eye AF to activate.

Enabling Animal Eye AF

It is not possible to track human and animal eyes simultaneously. To enable Animal Eye AF:

Menu > Camera Settings 1 > AF2 > Face/Eye AF Settings > Subject Detection > Animal

The development of Animal Eye AF performance will continue, increasing the range of animals recognized by the system as well the system’s ability to track their movement.
