(SR5) Zeiss source says they will not make a Batis 35mm lens

Share

I got this info from a Zeiss solid source (Thanks B!).

Zeiss has no plan to make a Batis 35mm lens because there are already several primes and zooms covering that focal length.

I want to remind SAR readers that we got solid rumors that Zeiss will announce new Batis lens(-es) in autumn. I guess telephoto primes or even zooms(!) could be the next lenses

This is what SAR readers would like to get from Zeiss:

The very next Batis lens should be the...

The following review is a guest post from Dean Vuksanovic. To write a guest post follow the instructions on that page. Thanks!

Hello fellow camera enthusiasts and Sonyalpharumors readers! This guest post is a tribute to my favourite lens which, when combined with the original Sony A7 camera, makes for the world’s smallest and lightest digital full frame system with a 35mm field of view. We are talking about none other than the [shoplink 48054 ebay]almighty Minotar lens[/shoplink] adapted from the Minox 35 film cameras.

Michael Reichmann from Luminous Landscape has passed away

Share

A bad news struck the photography community. Nick Devlin from Luminous Landscape just posted this:

It is with a very heavy heart that I must share sad news with our readers and the rest of the photographic community.  After an extended battle with cancer, the Founder of Luminous-Landscape, Michael Reichmann, has passed away.  He was surrounded by family and friends over the last few weeks.  He put up a valiant fight.  He passed late on May 18th at age 71.
I considered Michael to be a dear friend, as did many of you. I traveled and photographed with him to many corners of the globe.  His passion for photography was matched only by his love of sharing that passion with readers around the world.

My condolences to all the LL team and Michael Reichmann’s family. He was a great man.

(SR1) Low ranked Sony A99II rumors…

Share

sony-a99

There is still no reliable info about new A-mount stuff. All we know for sure is that Sony “promised” to keep developing A-mount products. So let’s hope we will soon see real new A-mount cameras and lenses. In the meantime these are two low ranked A99II rumors. Let’s see if there is some truth behind those:

AD: “I’ve seen the A99II at my work place database (large retail chain). It should be announced soon because it’s listed as being available summer 2016. The prilimanary info indicates that does 10fps, has 36mp sensor, 4K and is a SLT. The price tag seems steep. $2999.99 USD.”

O: “The news I’m getting about the new mystery camera is that it is a specialized version of the A99. Let’s call it A99SW: optimized for sports and wildlife shooters. No exact specs leaked but broad items are… No video, optimized for photography only! Fastest AF of any SLT, faster than A77ii! Fastest object tracking of any SLT! New BIONZ processor; BSI; wider dynamic range should result in better low light performance than A99. That’s it so far. Let’s see if your readers would jump on this bad boy!”
