[shoplink 43319 ebay]Shenikon eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] is the first store having the Loxia 21mm lens in Stock and shipping.

Photographyblog posted the full Loxia 21mm lens review and writes:

The Zeiss Loxia 21mm F2.8 is an exceptional wide-angle prime lens. You’d expect sharpness to be high across the frame from such a premium optic, and it doesn’t disappoint. As with its older brethren, if you can learn to love the manual-focus only nature of this lens, the Zeiss Loxia 21mm F2.8 is a superb wide-angle optic for full-frame E-Mount Sony owners.

Imaging Resource posted the full Sony A7rII review and writes:

Image quality has also taken a sizeable step forwards in the Sony A7R II. In terms of resolution when shooting with a quality lens, its detail-gathering is simply spectacular. In fact, it comes surprisingly close to what medium-format cameras are capable of in a far, far more compact body.

Current A7rII deals:
$200 gift card with Amazon US (Use “CAMERAGIFT” as code).
A7rII Deluxe at Amazon US (Click here)
$160 reward on the A7rII sold by BHphoto (Click here).
Ssuperbundle deal on the Sony A7rII sold by Focuscamera (Click here).

Sony RX1RII shipment delay in Japan. Autofocus issues?

Bildschirmfoto 2015-12-17 um 09.20.27

Sony Japan announced that it will postpone the RX1RII shipment start in Japan. And I got word from US and other Asian stores that also they will have to wait to get a new Stock of RX1rII cameras. The reason for the stop is unknown. And Sony also does not tell when they will resume sales.

UPDATE: An anonymous source (thanks!) told me: “The production of the RX1R2 is halted because of AF inconsistencies”

US stores also do not show the RX1RII in Stock anymore (Amazon US, Bhphoto and Adorama).

Jan: “I just finished the timelapse from my town, hradec kralove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajd0RQJn6Ks
it was shot on sony a5100 and nex-5n with 16mm f/2,8 SEL and 18-200mm f/3,5-6,3 OSS LE
i love those little cameras. there is no need for full frame, if you don’t have the budget for it. it isn’t about tools you use, but about the results you deliver.”
