Zeiss released a new firmware upgrade for the 50mm macro E-mount lens which fixes following issues:
• clearly noticeable shutter release delays when pressing the release button with activated flash
• ‘hunting’ for the focus point with the camera in AF-C mode
If you want some cheap but still high quality native E-mount price than you might grab those two that just got discounted by Sigma US:
$30 off on the 19mm f/2.8 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
$30 off on the 30mm f/2.8 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
Sony US deals reminder:
6ave sells the A7s with free extras for around $2,260 only on eBay (Click here).
Third party sellers have the A7s for $2,442 on Amazon US (Click here).
Up to $375 credit on the A7-A7r and A7s purchase if you trade in your DSLR at Amazon US (Click here to get all info).
DxOmark (Click here) tested the new Nikon D810 camera (specs and price here at Amazon). It’s 99,9999% likely the Nikon uses the same Sony A7r sensor but Nikon managed to squeeze out a tiny bit more performance. Therefore the new Full Frame leader is the D810 (at least based on DxO parameters).
The new Sony A99II could use the same 36MP sensor and we will see if Sony can beat the Nikon…
The pattern is now pretty clear and these are the first devices that will almost certainly feature the new Sony curved sensor tech:
1) The 2/3 inch 22 Megpaixel curved sensor with f/1.2 lens will be used by the next Xperia Z3X. The images of the camera have been leaked by Digi-wo.com.
2) The Full Frame RX (RX2?) will feature a Full Frame curved sensor and a very compact 35mm f/1.8 Zeiss lens. it will become the most compact Full Frame ever made.
Both will hit the market in early 2015!
