Shoten has announced their new K&F Concept EF-E AF II autofocus adapter. Key specs (google translated):

• Equipped with high-speed contrast AF drive system to achieve higher AF speed (compared to conventional products). * High-speed AF is possible even with models that are not equipped with an image plane phase difference AF sensor (α7SII, α7R, α7S, α7, α6000, etc.)
• Compatible with camera shake correction mechanism in the body
• The inside of the adapter is matted to greatly reduce internal reflections
• With removable tripod mount, the bottom of the tripod mount is compatible with Arca Swiss

I don’t know why but the Zeiss ZX1 websites are not working anymore:

https://www.zeiss.com/zx1

https://zx1.zeiss.com/

UPDATE: The Zeiss websites are ONLINE again. Still, they went back online only after our post and I recall the websites were offline for weeks!

–

Zeiss stated multiple times they would REALLY produce this camera. but 14 months passed and I guess I am not the only one doubting that they might not release it at all…

P.S.: The camera is still listed as “coming soon” at BHphoto.

BCNranking reported the full year Japan sales stats. And the big news upfront:

Sony is now officially the number 1 in the Full Frame market (DSLR+mirrorless!).

The graph on top shows that Sony managed to increase unit and value sales in all areas:

– Overall: 19% unit and +32% in value sales
– APSC: 19% unit and +44% in value sales
– Full Frame: 18% unit and +17% in value sales

Canon and Nikon reported losses in all segments with the one single exception of the Canon FF unit sales that went up 6% (but value sales were down 7%)

As a result this year Sony managed to surpass Canon in the FF market:

In short: While it’s true the market as a whole is shrinking…in Japan Sony has still managed to sell MORE cameras and make MORE money!

Udo Kellner:

One week after getting my alpha7RM4 I started a trip to the Garhwal-Himalaya India.
This is a vid about climbing Kedar Dome 6831m with this new camera:

I used it mostly but also the RM3 and Osmo Pocket. May be it is interesting for Sony fans. I am not professional but anyway – decide yourself. The Text is in german but there is only very view text.
