If the A7 goes any lower, I won’t be able to give mine away. Thumbs up for the Rokinon though.
Yeah right, that $ 100 discount on the Rokinon is a bit BS if you have to pay $ 119,03 shipping…
The thing is not made of goldplated chinaware or what?
Not sure where in the world you’re seeing that…

The Netherlands… Probably because it’s a U.S. based seller?
Interesting that all those bunch of screaming folks that demand fast and semi-fast tele primes like 100 f2.8 or 135 f2.8 etc were screaming and dying for Zeiss to announce something. Many so called Pro enthusiasts having claiming to shoot strictly MF for “feel of it” (yeah feel my but). And caliming on each post that it’s about photographer and not about gear (yeah it’s about my but). But here is a Rokinon perfectly MF and very sharp lens and for such a low price (I mean not $1200+) and yet where are all those gearheads and screaming crowd? Huh? Where are you guys?
Isn’t this the best thing since the sliced bread? Come one jump on it you MF prime fast tele shooters! What? Suddenly it’s not about photographer and it’s about gear too after all huh? That’s what I thought. So next time, shut the fuss up and don’t lie to yourself in the first place.
Cynicism and sarcasm are better delivered with proper spelling.
He’s doing it so it won’t get flagged for moderation, jeez.
Absa-f@*^+#g-lutely Brian!
But … this appears to be another DSLR lens adapted to mirrorless. Too bad Samyang/Rokinon(etc.) can’t put more energy into following their brilliant dedicated MFT and aps-c mirrorless efforts through to FF mirrorless. Someday…
It doesn’t matter for relatively long and even more so for macro lens if it was adapted or was initially designed for short flange distance: it tends to be a big lens in any case. New sony macro is huge and perfect example of this.
Your premise that people were screaming for these lenses is false. Great MF glass pre-existed the mirrorless cameras they mount on. That’s why your stated expectations aren’t met.
In addition, these lenses were introduced some time ago.
Proper spelling is moderated btw
the heat issue of the sony A6xxx might be serious if Sony decided to announce the highest-end digital camera before it…. I expected the sony A6xxx announcement on mid-june but im not sure anymore after the big event with the sony A7R II. They will probably not announce another game changer like the A7000, a kind of APS-C version of this great ( at least on paper and from reviewers) camera called A7R II but with a brand new 24 Mpx and more performant sensor
A7rII is a halo camera in the entire E-Mount range today. It is a standard industry practice to announce the best you have first, everything else later.
You don’t announce a Camaro, and then follow it up by a Corvette….
A halo camera attracts buyers, even if they are not going to buy it. People would look for features, announced in A7r, available inside cheaper cameras. Maybe not all features in the same camera, but being able to AF almost anything on the market is going to be a sought for feature.
I know I might finally buy an A6xxx with 1650pzd, knowing that I can use it with my A-Mount glass through EA3 adapter, if ever the need arises, but primarily will use it as a pocket camera.
if they can make a halo APS-C camera, with most features like IBIS, A7RII efficient AF when using LA-EA or the rest of the time, better DR , low light performance and leveling gauge, i ll be satisfied even if i dont have internal 4K
for those who will still need of internal 4K, then u can buy A7RII
It won’t work that way. It’s very clear Sony is overhauling entire lineup to have BSI sensors and 4K. A7000 will have BSI sensor and 4K and better EVF (like other cameras got better EVF too). My guess is that they are solving heat issue problems with 4K since they can’t limit it to 5min like in rx100m4. I would guess it will come closer to end of August/September. My guess would be that we won’t see big changes in DR, ISO – only incremental ones.
it can be incremental till we get relevant improvements but the 3rd party lenses and Amount glass friendly feature is very interesting too if it s as efficient as Sony “rumored”
If its APSC, its automatically not Halo camera, because there are FFs that will outperform it in image Q.
That doesnt mean that they cant make a high end APSC, packed with A7rII features, except for the sensor, and charge around $1500.
But that APSC has to come after the technology demonstrator, which as of right now, A7rII surely is.
I don’t care if it’s called a ‘halo’ but I’m ready to buy an a6000 upgrade as soon as it’s announced. Regarding the FF advantage in IQ – that’s like saying the only feature that matters in a knife is sharpness. Yes sharpness matters, but so do a lot of usability attributes.
Sony have traditionally done announcements in January, May/June, August/September and late October/early November. Quite a spread I know but next slot is early autumn so don’t panic there will be APS-C cameras. End of the day they sell in the hundreds of thousands where full frames are not yet as pospular
I still love my G90
