Suprise surprise: The super unique and expensive ZX1 camera has been marked as “discontinued” at Bhphoto. There is no official mention yet from Zeiss but this was always meant to be a limited production camera. For example they produced only 22 of them for the Chinese market. I think Zeiss should think about doing an E-mount camera. Just take inspiration of your super beautiful Ikon camera!
Sigma will soon announce those three new lenses:
17mm F4 DG DN | Contemporary (Full Frame)
50mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary (Full Frame)

Reliable source How2Fly tweeted that Tamron Tamron will have a product announcement on February 22. He shared no details about what to expect.
Here is the summary of lenses Tamron patented the past two years (in blue those that I like):
Lensvid collected the CIPA data and made those nice graphs to illustrate the state of the camera market. As you can see the market has now stabilized and in 2022 sales of both system cameras and lenses did go up slightly

Engadget reviewed the A7rV and concluded:
Sony is once again on top of the high-resolution full-frame camera market with $3,900 A7R V. Image quality and detail are outstanding, autofocus is second to none and the updated video capabilities are a great addition for hybrid shooters.
As mentioned, Sony’s main rival is the 45-megapixel Canon EOS R5, which offers lower resolution and better video capabilities, but suffers from overheating issues. The 45-megapixel Nikon Z9 is also a more capable video camera, but costs $1,500 more, and Nikon’s $3,000, 45-megapixel Z7 II is $500 less but has inferior autofocus and video.
None of those models come close to matching the A7R V’s resolution, image quality and exceptional AF, though. Given that, plus the massive video improvements, it’s now the best high-resolution full-frame camera on the market, by far.
