The new Sony 70-200mm f/4.0 E-Mount lens is finally available for preorder on European Sony online stores. There is a wrong description that hopefully Sony will fix soon. The lens aperture should be f/4.0 and not f/2.8 as described on their site. But the price is correct, 1499 Euro! Here are the links (Click on the country code):

Sony QX10 price drop. A7r slowly climbing Amazon rankings.

The A7r Stock sold by Amazon itself but there are still cameras in Stock via third party resellers (Click here) at Focuscamera (Click here) and at [shoplink 23318 ebay]BestBuy (Click here)[/shoplink]. The camera is now slowly climbing the popularity ranking at Amazon (Click here) but I guess the Stock is still not large enough to get on position one.

There is a huge $80 price drop on the Sony QX10 at Rakuten (formerly buy.com).

First Zeiss 55mm lenses are for sale on [shoplink 23311 ebay]eBay Hong Kong (www shipment)[/shoplink].
