Well it was true after all! Indeed Sony announced two new Full Frame E-mount lenses. Well, one is the already pre-announced 28-135mm PZ zoom. But the second is the long time rumored Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 FE lens! Release is said to be “mid year”. No price info yet.

Atomos Shogun for your A7s on preorder at BH. Sony NEX-6 kit now for $524. A6000+Zeiss deal back!

As I reported before you still will have to wait a couple of weeks to learn the price and preorder of the Sony A7s. But if you want to record in 4K you can already preorder the Atomos Shogun at BHphoto (Click here). By the way, ThePhoBlographer posted a hands on with the A7s: “From the JPEG results and prints that we saw, this camera has the absolute cleanest ISO 3200 output that we’ve ever seen.”

And here is the next price drop:

The NEX-6 with kit lens now sells for even less at Amazon US (Click here) and BHphoto (with extra SD card). $524 is a real bargain!

And the $300 off on the A6000+16-70mm Zeiss is now back at Amazon US (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).
