Sony is number one in the Chinese Full Frame market

Share
At the RX100 VI launch event in China Sony stated that they are now the NO.1 in China’s full frame interchangeable-lens camera market. The study is made by GFK. Weibo sums it up (translation by our reader Cai):
“Sony has earned the no.1 spot in the FF camera market since March, and in April the gap between Sony and the second place (Canon, obviously) is even larger, according to the data provided by GFK. 
Not only that, Sony is also beating competition in US/Japan/Germany in March.”

One of our trusted sources sent us this high res picture of the new Samyang 24mm f/2.8 FE autofocus lens. And Samyang confirmed the lens will be announced tomorrow!

And I am now trying to learn when Zeiss will announce the new Batis 40mm f/2.0 CF FE lens. If you have some info please contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com or use the anonymous contact form on top of the right sidebar. What we know so far about this lens:

Distagon optical design
The shortest shooting distance is 0.24 m
With focus limiter (Full / ∞ ~ 0.4 m / 0.5 m to 0.24 m)
Filter diameter is 67 mm
Batis Size close to 85mm (40mm is slightly smaller)

I guess the CF stands for “Close Focus”.
