Some fake Sony NEX mirrorless images are circulating on Sony forums. I like them a lot!

BCNranking just published the lens sales ranking for January-Febraury 2010.

The following lens list contains the 10 most sold Alpha mount lenses (including third-party producer like Sigma). Click on the lens name to see the product page on amazon.

1	Sony	75-300mm F4.5-5.6
2	Tamron	AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR DiII LD Aspherical[IF]Macro
3	Sony	DT 50mm F1.8 SAM
4	Sony	DT 30mm F2.8 Macro SAM

10	Sigma	30mm F1.4 EX DC
10	Sony	70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G SSM
10	Sigma	70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO

What can we learn from the ranking?
1) No expensive Zeiss lens made it into the top 10!
2) Thirs-party producer are selling ver well!

Today Zeiss becomes 120 years old! Happy Birthday!

Zeiss has such an incredible history! An example: Did you know that Zeiss produced a Planar 0,7/50 mm Lens which has been used by Stanley Kubrick in „Barry Lyndon“? Zeiss Lenses have also been used by astronauts on the moon and for the “Lord of the Rings” movies.

What do I wish for the future?
1) More Sony Zeiss fast prime lenses of course!
2) Lower the price please
3) Make a digital Zeiss Ikon ZM :)
