This has been again a very long wait for a new Sigma lens to be available in A-mount. According to [shoplink 35015 ebay]Hong Kong eBay sellers (Click here)[/shoplink] the new 24-105mm f/4.0 ART A-mount lens will ship in late June. You can also preorder the lens at BHphoto (Click here) but there is no shipping info on their side.
Sony Store US (Click here) is still a full mess: The A6000 and the A7r disappeared from the site. The A77II and A3000 listed but with preorder option deactivated. It may be that they are completely redoing the site before the next product announcement in mid June.
And most of the orders you placed to buy the $199 A7r got canceled. One of our readers just got this from Sony:
Dear Mxxxx,
We have canceled your order/item(s) due to item unavailability.
On occasion, popular items sell out before we can fulfill all orders. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience.
But some of the SAR readers were damn lucky and got the A7r for $199. Here is a screenshot from one of our readers:

Sometimes I admire fake rumor creators for their fantasy. So let’s award that guy who wrote he is a Zeiss manager and shared details about that Zeiss cameras:
“Recently, we have acquired a new sony model. The buttons and badges were stripped off. The guts were removed as well. Now, but what I did notice was this particular body was a little bit larger than the A7ii and did seem pretty look pretty identical. The thing that stuck out the most was the new mount. I notice it had a new shape and testing out some lenses, it was surprisingly able to fit both A and E mount lenses! This could be the A7 series older brother.”
LOL!
Our reader Jason Chau spotted that amazing Action Camera setting done with the Sony A7 (A7II?). This is the first time ever I see a Full Frame camera used as a [shoplink 36890 ebay]helmet action cam[/shoplink]! Sell your GoPro guys, buy the Sony A7! :)
I can’t wait to see the footage he took with that cybernetic helmet!

According to MirrorlessRumors Leica will launch the very first Sony RX1 competitor on June 11. It looks like a more compact [shoplink 37044 ebay]Leica Monochrome[/shoplink]. Has an 28mm Summilux f/1.7 lens, built-in EVF and image stabilization.
Of course the Leica will be very expensive compared to the RX1. Sony certainly has nothing to “fear” from Leica. I guess what is killing the RX1 sales is their own A7 series that offers much more versatility in a not too much bigger package. The RX2 if it ever comes has to bring some clear technological highlight like the curved sensor we saw on so many patents.
