$600 off on the Sony-refurbished A7s (with 90 days warranty).

You save $600 on that officially from Sony refurbished Sony A7s sold by Secondipity on Amazon US (Click here) and eBay US (Click here). It comes with a full 90 day warranty too. It really looks like Sony itself is no more selling refurbished stuff on their own Sony Store US site and outsourced all sales to Secondipity.

Adorama also sent me this new Sony deal list:

35mm FE Distagon “is exceptional” (Admiringlight). 28mm FE “good performer considering the small size” (Philip Reeve)

23_35

Adminringlight compared the Sony Zeiss FE 35mm f/1.4 vs. Fuji XF 23mm f/1.4 and writes:

It’s easy to see that the FE 35mm f/1.4 is exceptional. It takes an extremely good Fuji 23mm f/1.4 and makes it look mediocre in comparison. Zeiss has done something rather incredible with the lens.

Philip Reeve tested the 28mm FE lens and writes:

Optically it is a very good performer. The center is very sharp from f/2 with nice contrast and unusually smooth bokeh. What I find very remarkable about the lens is it’s size. It is much harder to design a small lens with such a good performance, the lens diagram tells us that Sony used a lot of special glass to achieve it. And of course they also allowed for a high amount of distortion but I think this was a good decision, because any other parameter like lower sharpness or bigger size would have been harder to digest.

Zeiss just posted new Batis images samples on their Flickr account (Click here). And the last five pictures have been unmistakably marked as shot with the “Sony A7r II” !!!! Now either Zeiss is fooling us or these are really the A7rII images. And I just heard there is an announcement coming veeery soon. Stay tuned on SAR as I am working on some SR4-SR5 rumors!
