Sorry for the bad joke guys, it isn’t the NEX-FF or a new A-mount Full Frame. What’s in Stock for the first time is the [shoplink 21164 ebay]Hasselblad Stellar on eBay Germany (Click here)[/shoplink]. They do ship worldwide if you want! Found via DealsRunner.com

I hope Hasselblad can go back to what they can really do fine, great cameras like the [shoplink 21165 ebay]Hasselblad 503cw[/shoplink] for example. Make them with a large Sony medium format sensor. That would be something don’t you think?

(SR5) The Sony NEX-FF will be displayed at PhotoPlus in NYC!

Message from a Top SonyAlphaRumors source:

You will definitely see the new NEX Full Frame Photocamera at Photoplus Expo in New York!!!

Note: if there would be an SR6 this would be a classic SR6 rumor! And although the source didnt’ mention it I really think the new RX10 and ILCE cameras will come too!

[shoplink 21147 ebay]The Full Frame 85mm T1.5 Cine Lens for NEX[/shoplink]

–

If you are considering to buy the soon to be announced NEX-FF cameras you will certainly look for compatible lenses. And you may don’t knwo that there are alreayd four E-mount FF lenses from Samyang (also branded under other names). These are Cine-Lenses with manual focusing. But there is an “problem” and one “qestion”. These lenses are very big and we also have to see if they are good enough for a high resolution FF sensor. Anyway, here are the links to the lenses (Click on them to see price):

14mm T3.1 Cine Lens for Sony E sold as [shoplink 21135 ebay]Samyang (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21136 ebay]Rokinon (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21137 ebay]Bower (eBay)[/shoplink].
24mm T1.5 Cine Lens for Sony E sold as [shoplink 21138 ebay]Samyang (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21141 ebay]Rokinon (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21142 ebay]Bower (eBay)[/shoplink].
35mm T1.5 Cine Lens for Sony E sold as [shoplink 21143 ebay]Samyang (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21144 ebay]Rokinon (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21145 ebay]Bower (eBay)[/shoplink].
85mm T1.5 Cine Lens for Sony E sold as [shoplink 21147 ebay]Samyang (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21146 ebay]Rokinon (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21148 ebay]Bower (eBay)[/shoplink].

It would be nice if NEX-VG900 owners could tell us more about the photoquality of the lenses!

A message for Samyang: If they would keep this specs to make a dedicated more compact (and non cine) lens for the NEX-FF system it would be a hotseller!

The (non) rumors on A-mount and NEX-7 successor.

Share

–

For almost two months now things have been relatively quite on the A-mount camera and NEX-7 successor front. Two of my trusted sources told me that they still didn’t get any info about a possible A-mount or NEX-7 successor release this year. They only told me about the following camera being released between October and January:
– Two NEX-FF
– ILC-7 (APS-C camera).
– ILC-9 (FF camera)
– RX10

New anonymous sources we can rank somewhere between SR2-SR3 told me that A-mount and more NEX APS-C stuff is coming very early 2014 only. For now Sony’s priority seems to be the NEX-FF and ILCE (E-mount DSLR shaped) cameras. I think that within the next couple of weeks we will know a lot more about the Sony roadmap. Don’t worry A-mount camera owners and NEX-7 successor waiters :)

It’s my personal curiosity that drives me to ask you SAR readers what’s the camera (or cameras) you are waiting for.

Do you like the new 20mm f/1.8 G?
