The first Hasselblad HV superkit sells for $9,999 on [shoplink 26422 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. Actually, it’s well priced because the original price was set even higher at $11,500! The special “High Performance Case” package includes two batteries and the 24-70mm f/2.8 Zeiss. As you already know the specs are the same of the Sony A99. You can see many more images of the Hasselblad that’s for sale on the [shoplink 26422 ebay]eBay auction page (Click here)[/shoplink].

This is the third “luxurified” Sony camera version from Hasselblad after the [shoplink 22672 ebay]Hasselblad Lunar (on eBay here)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 22673 ebay]Hasselblad Stellar (on eBay here)[/shoplink].

P:S.: I know the word “luxurified” doesn’t exist but I found it appropriate and easy to understand :)

Special Mother’s day deal pages in US stores (with plenty of Sony and accessory deals). A77 presales doing “ok”

Share

I am not going to link to all current Sony and accessory deals because there are too many! So just click these special Mothers’ day deals pages to find the deal you are looking for: Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).

Meantime the A77II pre-sales are doing “ok” according to Amazon’s DSLR ranking (Click here). It made it into the top 20. The super discounted NEX-6 kit is leading the Amazon mirrorless ranking (Click here).

Mitakon 50mm F/0.95 FE lens test! Steve Huff hands-on video.

f/0.95 sharpness test

You can see a first sharpness test at all apertures of the new Mitakon 50mm 0.95 FE lens on Flickr (Click here). The lens is quite soft at full aperture and improves marginally at f/1.4. Of course the lens is sharp at other apertures but if you buy that lens you want it because of the f/0.95 aperture! So what do you say, are you happy with the results? Consider the lens costs 14 times less than the Leica Nocticlux 50mm f/0.95 :)

It will be available soon on eBay MXcamera. And you can save that search on Slidoo to get notified when it’s in Stock. This is Mitakons second E-mount lens after the [shoplink 14656 ebay]35mm f/0.95 lens for ASP-C E-mount cameras (they are on auction here on eBay)[/shoplink]

found via DicaHub.

And Steve Huff is playing with his 000001 marked Mitakon lens he got for testing:
