Zeiss ZX1 officially tested and registered in Asia

Share

Here  are the pictures from an Asian agency showing the new Zeiss ZX1. The camera got tested and registered  at this wireless certification agency back in July. It  also  means the market introduction  is likely to happen soon. I guess we will see the final production version camera and pricing at the PhotoPlus  show in  October.

Focus on the new 16-55mm f/2.8 E zoom lens

Share

Preorders:
Sony A6600 at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Calumet DE, Park UK, WexUK.
Sony A6100  at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. In EU at Calumet DE, Park UK, WexUK.

While I believe the new 70-350mm zoom is a great choice the new 16-55mm purchase  is a bit harder to justify because of a simple reason….the high price! Of course the tariff battle between USA and China isn’t helping here :(

That  said the 16-55mm is a good news for the following reasons:

  1. It’s a clear statement from Sony that  the APS-C system is well alive and will be supported in the years to come
  2. It’s the first f/2.8 zoom. Hopefully a 55-150mm  f/2.8 zoom will follow as next :)
  3. Image samples posted on Sony.net and MTF graph show impressive IQ. Looks more like  a GM lens than G.
