These are five new Sigma zooms for APS-C mirrorless system (Source: Egami). From all those lenses I hope to get the 18-55mm f/2.8 zoom. It’s a lens that’s highly missing in the E-mount range!
Gary Fong unboxed and tested the new A7II.

The new 15-30mm f/2.8 DI VC USD. Image courtesy: BHphoto.
The following rumor is from a very good Tamron source. The source shared the following very interesting info:
– Tamron is working on a new SP.2 lens line. It is made to resolve the High resolution Full Frame sensors coming from Sony. In detail Sony told Tamron that it’s “around” 46 megapixel.
– The 15-30mm f/2.8 DI VC USD lens Tamron announced at Photokina is the first of the new SP.2 line. It will work fine on those new Sony ≈50MP FF cameras.
– Tamron is also working on the design of two prime lenses that can resolve such a resolution.
Also interesting: The source said that Sony sensor will come for both A and E-mount FF cameras. Although he could not tell me which camera will come first and when it will be released.
–
Note: The source is trustworthy because he shared the 15-30mm f/2.8 lens info before the announcement. Back at Photokina I didn’t post the info because it was of the many new sources with rumors I could not confirm via trusted sources.

First the bad news:
Plenty of dealers contacted me to tell me that indeed Zeiss will not ship them new Stock of the 50mm Loxia any time soon. One of them even got an unofficial note saying that new Stock of lenses are likely going to ship in a few months only. Only major store having many of them in Stock is Digitalrev (Click here). So grab it there if you want to get one now.
Now the good news:
The same dealers confirmed Zeiss will ship the firts Stock of Zeiss Loxia 35mm Biogon lenses from December 12 already (Source: DC.watch)! P.S.: Japanese Loxia 35mm test at Kakaku and Kasayapa.

US is pretty much the heaven if you look for some good (and many) deals. But also our EU and Australian readers can grab some nice deals. It’s just somewhat harder to find them all because there are so many countries and stores in EU :(

Well, if you don’t jump into the E-mount system with that superdeal now you are a fool:
You get a Sony A6000 with two(!) lenses, free 16GB SD card, free bag, free $50 gift card for $748 at BHphoto (Click here). If you add the value of the lenses ($299+$349) and the stuff you get as an extra ($78) you pay a virtual price of $18 only for the A6000 camera :)
