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:

Sony vs Watson NP Battery Showdown Part 2
Miguel ” I wanted to see if you could share the news of my upcoming class for Creative Live this Thursday (Its free if people watch live on Nov 3rd and 4th). I’ll be showing over the course of 2 days how I set up my shoots, take portraits using different Sony cameras, and then retouch them all on day 2. It should be an interesting class for Sony users and DSLR doubters that somehow still think you can’t get pro results with these cameras.

A7rII vs D810 by CameraSize
Our reader Mistral pointed me to a quite extravagant discussion:
Kenneth Sporsheim is a Norwegian photographer, former Nikon PRO photographer, current Pentax ambassador. His alias on various fora is kenspo. This is what he wrote on Pentax Forums:
“Nikon are bleeding most of all camera brands at the moment! They have lay-offs in many countries. Just here in Norway, they had to reduce staff from 13 to 3..and get rid of locations and have office at home. This is how things are behind the numbers on the paper “
And now the juicy part:
“Its a big and hard ship to turn when things starting to go wrong I know for a fact that Sony are circling around Nikon’s camera division like a shark in the water smelling blood. Its info from the “inside”. But how serious it is for Sony, i can’t tell. Just know that they have been looking at this possibility. Haven’t updated me for a while either“
UPDATE: “Looking at this possibility” of doing what? Kennet Sporsheim now made clear he didn’t mean Sony is considering acquiring Nikon. Thom Hogan reports
The Nikon Ambassador quoted in the “rumor” has contacted me and says that what he meant by his shark quote is that Sony believes that they can take market share away from Nikon while Nikon is floundering (to keep the fish metaphor alive ;~).

Thanks Mistral!
