“You don’t invest in bodies. You invest in lenses!”
With the A7/7R announced, these prices (even with the 20%off) look even more ridiculous.
I agree. Zeiss will need to lower the prices for the Touit lenses by at least another 15-20%.
I disagree. These are absolutely wonderful lenses and are totally worth their prices, especially with the 20% off. Why should a lens be worth less just because someone launched a new body?

I read in the latter post that an NEX7 successor is coming. Do you know if it is expected beginning or end of 2014 ?
Just to know if I should get a NEX6 in the meantime or wait ?
A7 is not my cup of tea with the lenses pricewise…
Many thanks

I’d like to know this too. Looked long and hard at the A7 and A7R, but just not my cup of tea. Refresh of the top of the line NEX would be welcome. Still enticed by FF, but it won’t be in the form of A7/R for me.
Makes no sense paying so much for APS-C only lenses when FF is here for NEX.
These discounted prices need to drop still further to be taken seriously.
Not sure why people are complaining of the prices, 20% off is a nice savings and is appreciated. Can’t wait to pick up the 12mm for my NEX 5N today.
If a $10 bottle of coke is discounted to $8 (20%) that doesn’t justify it being good value.
Do they even plan to produce any new asp-c e-mount bodies?
yes!
m43 won the small format war and Sony was pushed to 1″ and FF, not really a biggie. There will still be used NEX’s and APS-C lenses and stuff around for at least the next year or two. 😛
APS-C NEX hasn’t been abandoned. Only the name. They actually sell extremely well.
LOL, to a m43 fanboy maybe. Oly/Pana is no where close to capture the small format arena.
I hope this (Taran comment) is a joke from a troll, but everything is possible in internet forums! 😀
Oly and Pany are hardly doing well. While they have some amazing glass and some great bodies, they may end up being the Betamax to the rest of the mirrorless ICLC’s. The problem is that FF in a mirrorless is going to be a near-insurmountable problem for m43 lenses to compensate for. Oly will need to come out with some f/1 glass to keep pace for low light shooting in a smaller engineering footprint.

“m43 won the small format war and Sony was pushed to 1″ and FF, not really a biggie. There will still be used NEX’s and APS-C lenses and stuff around for at least the next year or two. 😛 ”
mirroless as a whole is actually in decline and mFT share of the mirrorless market is also in decline. This is a fact [ something mFT users struggle with } .In the first 9 months of this year DSLR sales made up approximately 83 % of interchangeable lens cameras. That leaves 17% of the market for all mirrorless formats mFT,Sony,Fuji,Canon,Nikon,Pentax
The reports seem to suggest that FF cameras make up 8% of the DSLR market making APS DSLR sales responsible for 76% of the entire interchangeable lens camera market.Then add in the Nex APS cameras and the Fuji APS cameras .APS absolutely dominates the market.

So the 83% is the domination of CaNikon, so nothing new. And the 17% mirrorless system camera market came into existance in the last… what, 4 years? So not bad. So who has the most to lose here? And who has the most up to date technology now?
“The reports seem to suggest that FF cameras make up 8% of the DSLR market making APS DSLR sales responsible for 76% of the entire interchangeable lens camera market.Then add in the Nex APS cameras and the Fuji APS cameras .APS absolutely dominates the market.”
Yes, and the FF cameras did cost 3000+ in the past. Very likely the new A7 will be a big hit and both increase the FF as well as the mirrorless pool.
That 12mm sounds more appealing now as it would greatly complement my 24 and 50 primes. I prefer to use primes versus zooms, and that initial price offered was just much too high for me. I do question though, if it’s worth it to invest in any more APSC glass now that we have FE lenses and Sony’s ambition to bring 15 lenses within the next few years. Unless lenses were already in the pipeline, I can’t see too many further high quality lenses developed for APSC. I don’t necessarily see myself needing to go FF but I’m afraid I may have to.
Why? APS-C NEX now is better than ever, with so many high quality lenses. And don’t forget, even if there won’t be any more high end APS-C E-Mount lenses in some years, FE lenses work just fine on any E-Mount body. No reason to switch to ff.
Yeah, because a beer can mounted on a thimble is ergonomically great for both sewing and drinking.
A7 is a monster (in good terms) for me. It is very attractive as a buy, but is too much money for my wallet.
And now than seems than new NEX-7 is coming someday, I will wait for that camera, that will be very more price-wise. Long live to rangefinder NEX! 😀
A7R BETTER THAN A7 FOR VIDEO !!!!!
AN RX10 TEN TIMES BETTER
As he said, let’s wait for A8R with IBIS and full read out and that’s gonna be the best still / video camera of the world

Is it worth upgrading my 24/1.8 to the Touit 32/1.8 or should I wait for the NEX FF lenses for futureproofing in case I get a NEX 7. HMM.
