RX100m4 is in Stock for the first time today at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera, Uniquephoto.

Both new Batis lenses will ship from July 17 according to BHphoto (Click here). And as I told you yesterday the 90mm FE lens is now in Stock at Amazon and BHphoto.

And there is a new test made by Brian Van Der Beek:

25mm Batis: “The lens is quick to focus, and while it may look a tad big on the A7II, it’s comfortable to hold and makes shooting a breeze. Bokeh (ahhh the “B” Word!) is actually not that shallow because of the wideness of the focal length, but you get some nice shallow depth of field when the subject is close to the camera. What can I say? I’m sold!”

85mm Batis: “It compresses facial features nicely and gives a nice fall off to the background. The Batis 85mm f1.8 has all the hallmarks of a great portrait lens. I’ve always preferred the f1.8 versions of 85mm lenses as the 1.4 versions tend to be too shallow to be of much use. The 1.8/85 is fast to focus and easy to work with.“

If you need a case for your brand new Sony A7rIi camera well there is good news: The current A7II Gariz cases suite perfectly for the A7rII too. Gariz now has them for sale in both leather and alcantara versions:
Alcantara case in [shoplink 38168 ebay]Red (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 38169 ebay]Black (Click here)[/shoplink].
Leather case in [shoplink 38164 ebay]Orange (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 38165 ebay]Red (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 38166 ebay]Black (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 38167 ebay]Brown (Click here)[/shoplink].
As this is the same A7II case you can buy them all also at Amazon US (Click here).

I highly recommend the [shoplink 38169 ebay]Alcantara case[/shoplink] over the Leather version for the following reasons:
– It feels like leather but it is not.
– Increased durability and stain resistance over leather.
– It doesn’t make you sweat.
– It’s flame retardant in case your camera gets launched in an open fire :)

P:S.: Alcantara is composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane and is very much used in Sports cars because it feels good but you don’t sweat in it.
