Lunar camera with the new Distagon E-mount Zeiss! (Image courtesy: Alexander Radojski)

A Hasselblad spokesperson today Amateur Photographer that ‘The Hasselblad Lunar will be officially launched in April 2013“. And “We will, within a short time, launch a new and dedicated website section for the Lunar with all the information.”

The Lunar will have the same specs as the current Sony NEX-7 and cost above $5,000. And guess what, Sony may launch the new NEX-7n in April too and the Hasselblad may not even be “Up To Date” with the Sony NEX range.

The impossible has been made possible. Camera MX transformed a [shoplink 17307 ebay]Leica Summicron 35mm f/2.0[/shoplink] manual focusing M-mount lens in a sort of E-mount version with full autofocus support! You may argue how the heck that can be done…so here is the text I got form the “inventor” of this solution (from Chinese companies MX Camera):

“We put a [shoplink 17307 ebay]Leica M 35mm f/2[/shoplink] into a [shoplink 17308 ebay]Contax G Biogon 28mm f/2.8[/shoplink]. When use with our Contax G – NEX AF adapter, it will come a NEX-AF lens!! And the result is quite good! We will make a video for it very soon. We try so many different Leica rangefinder lens and the result, the best match is [shoplink 17307 ebay]35mm[/shoplink] and [shoplink 17309 ebay]50mm f/2[/shoplink] or small aperture lens with Biogon 28mm lens body.”

And they are now going to test the same “technique” with the [shoplink 17310 ebay]35mm f/3.5 (here on eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 17307 ebay]Summicron 35mm f/2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 17309 ebay]Summicron 50mm f/2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 17311 ebay]Elmar 90mm f/4 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].  There is no plan yet to commercialize that kind of lenses.

Right now US readers should check out the Gold Box deal on the Rokinon and Sigma lenses (Click here).

The Sigma lens is actually form the “old” generation but de facto has the same quality of the new Sigma E-mount lenses. And today Sigma officially confirmed that those will ship within March. Preorders here:
