Yeah, there is indeed a fisheye lens that sells for $67,000 on [shoplink 53007 ebay]eBay Canada (Click here)[/shoplink]. It’s the Nikkor 6mm lens and this is how it look son your A7/r/s camera. That is what the seller writes:

This Nikon 6mm Fisheye-Nikkor F2.8 lens outfit is in mint like new condition. Serial #629436. This is the real deal. A legendary lens from Nikon that is in very low production number. Exact production number of this lens is unknown as it was produced by special order through the Nikon catalogue. This is the world’s most extreme wide angle lens at 6mm! First introduced in 1972, it features a super wide view of 220 degrees. This lens can literally see behind itself!

Gossip aside, I wonder if Sony actually has a FE fisheye on their lens roadmap. Or maybe they will stick with the use of FE Fisheye converters.

Metabones released a new firmware update for these two adapters

• EF-E Smart Adapter^TM MARK IV (model number MB_EF-E-BM4 / MB_EF-E-BT4)
• EF-E Speed Booster^TM ULTRA (model number MB_SPEF-E-BM2 / MB_SPEF-E-BT2)

You cna download the firmware for Windows (Click here) and MAC (Click here).

• Benefits and improvements:
  • Easier user interface to select between Green and Advanced mode using Metabones App, with separate settings for newer cameras and older cameras (except Mark I/II/III and original Speed Booster).
  • Fix operation of Kenko Pro300 DGX (green dot) stacked on EF Extender III.
  • Option to park focus to infinity upon shutdown to shorten its length for storage (except Mark I/II/III and original Speed Booster). Some lenses may disregard this setting but never park focus, and most of these are internal focus lenses which do not require parking. STM lenses always observe the option setting.
  • Shortened shutdown time for IS lenses.
  • Option to close down the aperture or leave it where it is when camera shuts down (except Mark I/II/III and original Speed Booster).
  • Option to let camera body decide whether OIS, IBIS or a combination thereof shall be selected (except Mark I/II/III and original Speed Booster).
  • AF accuracy improvement for subjects near infinity.
  • Fixed autocrop of Sigma 50-100/1.8 DC HSM Art 016.
  • Stability improvement.
  • Fixed issue with Tamron VC USD where autofocus may occasionally become inoperative.

This was quite obvious but the news here is that Zeiss made it official. The Milvus lens range will never be available for the A-mount folks. On their website Zeiss answered to SAR reader Merlin Franco:

As a Macbook owner I am quite pissed off by the fact the new Macbook PRO has no SD card slot anymore. Tim Cook explained that they got rid of it because it was “cumbersome”. You know Tim, people buys laptop because they need a portable device to carry around. But now you are forced to carry around many adapters too which makes things quite “cumbersome” :)

The real reason why Apple forces you to buy adapters (aka “dongles” in the video) got explained by that Apple engineer:
