Suprise surprise: The super unique and expensive ZX1 camera has been marked as “discontinued” at Bhphoto. There is no official mention yet from Zeiss but this was always meant to be a limited production camera. For example they produced only 22 of them for the Chinese market. I think Zeiss should think about doing an E-mount camera. Just take inspiration of your super beautiful Ikon camera!

Lensvid collected the CIPA data and made those nice graphs to illustrate the state of the camera market. As you can see the market has now stabilized and in 2022 sales of both system cameras and lenses did go up slightly

Tamron published the full Q4 financial report (Click here to download). And there are a couple of interesting points:

1. The markets for interchangeable lens cameras and interchangeable lenses increase both in volume and monetary terms.
2. Sales increased even without favorable foreign exchange effects, driven by new mirrorless product releases and strong performance in Japan and China
3. Forecast: Markets for interchangeable lens cameras and interchangeable lenses are expected to remain flat in volume terms, but increase in monetary terms thanks to strength in high value-added products.
4. About five new lenses will be announced in 2023

As you might know Sony is Tamron’s biggest shareholders with 14,8%. I trust Tamron to be the first to make a constant f/2.0 zoom lens similar to the Canon 28-70mm f/2.0. It’s not only a “feeling” I have, there are also official patents that hint that Tamron is playing with that idea. In my video below I collected all the Tamron lens rumors and the official Tamron patent designs:
