UPDATE: Sigma announced an amazing f/2.0 constant aperture Full Frame zoom lens! It’s a 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art Full Frame. But there is a bad news…there will be no A-mount version yet. But as it happened in the past a Sony A-mount and Pentax K-mount version are likely to be announced 6-12 months after the first Canon/Nikon/Sigma mount release.

P.S.: Their 24-105mm FF A-mount lens is still not in Stock yet :(

New Nikon F to Sony E-mount electronic autofocus adapter coming soon!

nikonadapter

Electronic E-mount adapters are highly requested but difficult to make. We have electronic adapter for Canon EF from Metabones (Click here) and [shoplink 37432 ebay]Kipon (Click here)[/shoplink]. And also an electronic adapter for Contax from [shoplink 37433 ebay]Techart (Click here)[/shoplink].

But now we are close to get a very important new electronic adapter for Nikon F lenses! Xjirumo spotted that adapter made by an unnamed chinese company. It’s said that the adapter is almost ready for production. This really would be a BIG good news for all those Nikon lens owners that want to use their lenses with full autofocus and electronic aperture control on the Sony E-mount cameras! And in particular those of you who preordered the new Sony A7rII can epxect the autofocus performance to be “decent” thanks to the hybrid AF system! I hope to get some more info about the adapter soon.

USA preorders:
A7rII at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here), Adorama (Click here), Uniquephoto.
RX10m2 at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here), Adorama (Click here), Uniquephoto.
RX100m4 at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here), Adorama (Click here), Uniquephoto.

Hot: First A7rII autofocus test video with Canon mount lens! First shutter sound test!

Miguel Quiles just posted that A7rII autofocus test video shot with the Metabones EF adapter and the [shoplink 37566 ebay]Tamron 15-30mm Canon mount lens[/shoplink]. So what’s your first impression from that quick test?

And Gordon Laing from CameraLabs posted a short A7rII hands-on video which at last includes the first shutter noise test (minute 1). Damn is it silent compared to the “old” A7r! He also quickly tested the Canon 24mm lens autofocusing performance (minute 3):

Also new is that Sony Exclusive Look from Uniquephoto:

Is the A7000 the “one more thing” from Sony?

The new A7rII and new RX cameras got announced just like the leaked Sony camera roadmap “predicted”. But there is one piece of the puzzle still missing. The “A6xxx series” camera. That camera was scheduled to be released before the A7rII (according to sources) but has been delayed because of overheating/hardware issues. So it’s yet unclear if that camera will still be announced in June. Weeks ago an (usually) good source said Sony had the plan to launch that camera around mid June. This means…this week. But there is yet absolutely no 100% guarantee this will happen.

So far it’s rumored that the camera is placed above the A6000 and will NOT replace it. It’s more of a [shoplink 8454 ebay]NEX-7 successor[/shoplink] and it’s likely to be named “A7000”. If the camera doesn’t get announced this month than it’s highly likely Sony pushed the release back to the next Sony announcement period in September.

Rumors aside: What’s your wish list for the A7000?

“Hasselblad Lusso” already in Stock in Hong Kong. Price is around HKD40000!

SAR reader Benny spotted that new Hasselblad “lusso” E-mount camera in a Hong Kong store. The luxurified A7r clone sells for around HKD40000 which is about $5,150. Not as terribly expensive as previous Hasselblad Sony clones if you consider the 28-70mm FE lens a nice box and strap are included in the final price.

Current Hasselblad Sony clones are:
[shoplink 37464 ebay]Stellar (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 37465 ebay]Lunar (Click here)[/shoplink] and Hasselblad HV ($7,999 off on BH!).

(SR5) Leaked! Hasselblad version of the Sony A7r!!!

Look here! Hasselbad will soon announce the luxury version of the Sony A7r! These are the very first images leaked via Chiphell. We don’t know yet what the name of the camera will be. So far the other Hasselblad Sony clones are called [shoplink 37464 ebay]Stellar (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 37465 ebay]Lunar (Click here)[/shoplink] and Hasselblad HV ($7,999 off on BH!).

A bit strange though they launch the expensive A7r clone after the Sony A7rII announcement!

Thanks Joe for sharing these pics!
