50mm Loxia vs 55mm FE and vs 50mm Leica.

Comparison by DearSusans.

We got another confirmation those Loxia lenses aren’ts just a ZM lens with E-mount. DearSusans (Click here) compared the Zeiss Loxia 50/2 with the Sony FE55/1.8 and Leica Summicron 50/2:

It’s no hard for me to admit I wasn’t expecting it to be this good and considered it to be a half-ass effort by Zeiss to cash in on an old design, much like the 7 re-editions of Star-Wars, for instance. The truth is Zeiss seem to have produced a gem. And I wish them well on the cashing-in.

You dind’t see that coming: High demand warning on the QX1 and QX30!

Image made by Usperedi.

Many of us still struggle to understand the utility of the QX camera line. But it looks like Sony was spot on to make those weird cameras

Sony Japan just issued an official statement sying that because of the exceptional high demand we can expect some delays in shipments. Literally they say preorders were “much higher than the expectations“.

Well done Sony! And now give us those new RX cameras with curved sensor as next
