35mm lens auctions on eBay (screenshot via Slidoo).
The 35mm f/1.8 OSS E-mount lens could become a very popular lens for the NEX system. It’s fast, compact, has image stabilization and a very good optical quality (check out the review at ePhotozine). And finally the lens is shipping in Asia via a couple of [shoplink 16098 ebay]eBay stores (Click here)[/shoplink] and in US via third party resellers at Amazon (Click here). For the rest of the world click the links below to check the shipment estimation for your country:
Estimated shipping date at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Wex UK, Sonystore DE–UK–FR–IT–ES–NL–SE–FI–CH, and more links at Alphacameradeals.
And me I am back on the rumor work. I have plenty of things I am working on. And certainly we can expect a lot of fire from the NEX front!

“on the nex front” WELL, TELL US
The best sources only told me that 2013 is definitely a “NEX” year with plenty of lenses and cameras.
Nice to hear that. Could you be please more specific?
A-mount will focus on APS-C. I have been told there will be more E-mount than A-mount lenses this year. I don’t have the full roamdap yet…just some indications. The A-mount lens roadmap for the next 3-4 months is fix and I shared it on SAR. Still working on the E-mount roadmap. Not sure yet about NEX cameras.
It’s weird that only dedicated FF mount will focus on APS-C only.
I guess a single FF body and a new 50mm is already too generous. We should take our Version II lenses and be grateful.
I think top priority for Sony should be tighter quality control on their lenses, rather than new models.
But not an A-mount year, I take it?
Is Amazon already shipping it, too? Their page looks like this.
Yeah, ordered mine yesterday for 344€ at cyberport.de, today they are not selling it anymore… Looking forward to play with it, but I don’t have a delivery date
Admin, there are only 3 (from memory) lenses left on the existing roadmap to be released, the mid tele prime (85mm), the high quality G standard zoom (f2.8?) and a pancake. Are your sources saying there will be more than this? Can you give any indication of whether we are talking more primes or zooms? Anything f1.4 (or faster) coming?
100% sure. More than this!
I got it a couple of weeks ago and it was a nice tiny lens.
I think it is optically good and maybe a bit sharper than the 50f1.8OSS.
I also got the 10-18/4 and this one is a really nice lens, maybe the best E mount lens to date.
Which body are you using the 1018 on?
$450 – ???
Hi Sony, it is December not April 1st.
Sony Store US has been shipping all week and still in stock.
Looks like a nice lens. If you need to save yourself a few hundred dollars – get the Sig version, even at f2.8 and without OSS, there’s not much of a difference for maybe 95% of users.
Picked up one locally yesterday, 419 USD. Feels pretty nice, nicer than the Sigma. We’ll see how the photos come out though.
I just bought mine today at the SONY store in NYC. Was this not suppose to be release yet?!?!
