The 35mm f/1.8 OSS E-mount lens could become a very popular lens for the NEX system. It’s fast, compact, has image stabilization and a very good optical quality (check out the review at ePhotozine). And finally the lens is shipping in Asia via a couple of [shoplink 16098 ebay]eBay stores (Click here)[/shoplink] and in US via third party resellers at Amazon (Click here). For the rest of the world click the links below to check the shipment estimation for your country:

And me I am back on the rumor work. I have plenty of things I am working on. And certainly we can expect a lot of fire from the NEX front!

Sony Japan just marked the A37 as “Discontinued“. As I have told you lately there will be 2-3 new APS-C SLT cameras coming next year. The first one is scheduled for spring. From what I heard entry level SLT will be replaced and than new semi pro APS-C SLT will follow.

And as you know in US all current SLT APS-C models are heavily discounted at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and Bhphoto (Click here)!

(SR5) 70-400mm lens discontinued. And successor coming in Q2!

Share

Sony Japan marked the current 70-400mm lens as “discontinued”. And at the same time two well trusted sources confirmed to me that a successor will hit the market on Q2 (between April and June). So we will have the new Zeiss 50mm f/1.4, the new 18-270mm lens, the new 70-200mm lens and than a new 70-400mm lens. These are the four A-mount lenses Sony will release within the next 6 months!
