Lovely fake rumor: A-E mount hybrid from Zeiss :)

Share

Sometimes I admire fake rumor creators for their fantasy. So let’s award that guy who wrote he is a Zeiss manager and shared details about that Zeiss cameras:

“Recently, we have acquired a new sony model. The buttons and badges were stripped off. The guts were removed as well. Now, but what I did notice was this particular body was a little bit larger than the A7ii and did seem pretty look pretty identical. The thing that stuck out the most was the new mount. I notice it had a new shape and testing out some lenses, it was surprisingly able to fit both A and E mount lenses! This could be the A7 series older brother.”

LOL!

That guy uses the A7 as a helmet action camera!

Our reader Jason Chau spotted that amazing Action Camera setting done with the Sony A7 (A7II?). This is the first time ever I see a Full Frame camera used as a helmet action cam! Sell your GoPro guys, buy the Sony A7!

I can’t wait to see the footage he took with that cybernetic helmet!

Leica will launch a RX1 competitor on June 11.

Share

According to MirrorlessRumors Leica will launch the very first Sony RX1 competitor on June 11. It looks like a more compact Leica Monochrome. Has an 28mm Summilux f/1.7 lens, built-in EVF and image stabilization.

Of course the Leica will be very expensive compared to the RX1. But while Sony has nothing to “fear” from Leica. I guess what is killing the RX1 sales is their own A7 series that offers much more versatility in a not too much bigger package. The RX2 if it ever comes has to bring some clear technological highlight like the curved sensor we saw on so many patents.

Back in Stock for $777: Grey imported and 3 year warranty 55mm FE lens.

Share

DxO still lists the 55mm FE Zeiss as the best autofocus lens on the market. And if you want to save $223 on it than you may consider to purchase it as Grey Imported but with full 3 year US seller warranty at GetDigital on eBay (Click here).

P.S.: I am curious to see if the new Batis 85mm lens will match or even surpass the 55mm FE performance.
