Canon “Impossible Teaser” revealed to be a double flop:

1) First, they teaser promised so much that all people expected to see some kind of exciting new camera. But instead they announced a “self promoting” new site.

2) The video ad you see on top tells the story from Uruguayan film director Fede Alvarez who shoot the famous viral “panic attack” video (here on Youtube). But the director itself commented on the Canon video to tell them that he shoot the movie on a Sony and not on a Canon camera!

Amazing how companies keep doing that kind of huge marketing mistakes. There is now a lot of humor-shit about Canon and one of them is that nice anti-impossible-teaser spotted by our friend Steve on CanonWatch.

Baron: “Two friends take a bone-jarring ride in all an terrain vehicle. Watch their adventures as we film them from the air with our aerial drone. On the ground we filmed with our Sony AX100 4K camcorder. Right in the ATV with them is the ActionCam, shooting away. All 3 camera angles were edited using Multicam Mode in Final Cut Pro X. Here’s the short film: http://youtu.be/2J8UX9uzyeI“

I am sure Zeiss will release many more new Loxia FE lenses in 2015. Now let us help them to decide which one they should release first! Let’s guess for a moment that they will base their new Loxia lenses on the ZM lens design. Here are all of them:

[shoplink 9810 ebay]Tele-Tessar T* 4/85 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay)[/shoplink].

Now, the question is, which three ZM lenses should they make first in a proper “Loxia” version?

Recently both Olympus (Silver E-M1) and Fuji (X-T1) launched the sort of Silver special editions. Don’t know if that is something SAR readers would like to get too. If you want to see how this would look for real Antonius Widjaya posted those images of a custom paint Sony a7r.

Adobe now addes full support for the A5100 and QX1 E-mount cameras. There are also plenty of new lens profiles. All the info can be read here: blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/10/1366.html

Of the two new Loxia FE lenses the 35mm prime is the most wanted according to SAR readers. Well exactly that one will ship from December 31 towards only according to BHphoto (Click here). Pity :(
