reminded.
A lot of reminders this week, eh?
24-240 with 9 blades! Well, it is worth to have a look of and try….
Must be a slow rumors day !!!
Wait wait, yesterday I made four leaks and now 20 hours after you tell me it’s slow rumor day? Some people really need rumors like it would be heroine 🙂
P.S.: on Sunday I have less than half of the visitors than on regular working days. That’s why I made this summary. Many have missed yesterdays leaks!
To be fair, they weren’t rumours, just early product announcements. They are appreciated, though, don’t get me wrong.
But we also need real rumours (A9, A7RII etc. etc). You have indicated that you have some info, so why hold it back?
Just one more hit, man!
Let’s get over the FE lens announcement before I post my next A9 and A7000 rumors 😉
Such a tease.
So far the very frustrating point is that I don’t know the exact announcement date. Many of my soruces know for sure PRO E-mount is coming, but they all have not been told exactly WHEN this will happen 🙁
Actually, we don’t really care so much for the announcement date or when it’s going to be released.
We care more for the rumors of the spec of the camera.
a9 you say 🙂
come on admin. THAT is the rumor everyone is waiting for. We are well aware about the 4 upcoming FE lences
I always look forward to Sundays. I like to look at the readers photos over my morning coffee. Some very nice work is always on offer.
Just waiting on the edge of my chair for something on the A7R & A99 replacements.
Hi Andrea – are the prices official now, or do they include a pre-pre-order price hike?
Not yet official as Sony didn’t announce them yet. But I believe the prices are correct
Thanks Andrea – hopefully that means the macro will be under £800…
I hope you’re right, but I think that’s extremely wishful thinking.
Even if it was a straight conversion from 1149 Euros, it would be around £839.00. Unfortunately the Sony UK never seems to pass on the benefit of strong Sterling, so I reckon it will be around the £999 mark.
Disappointing – I must have read the wrong price… In that case hopefully under £850.
Huh…my comment on the amount of reminders was deleted.
I just felt like saying that it was a lot of reminders…a lot of reminders.
Amazing camera bodies that are good value- unappealing lens lineup at insane prices. Sony will continue to bleed money. No threat to Canon.
All those lenses are too heavy, and too expensive, except for the 28mm f/2.0, which is not heavy enough or expensive enough and should have been f/1.4 unlike the 35mm f/1.4 which should have been f/2.0 and if Leica can make small lenses for only $6,000 then why aren’t Sony able to it for $400?
Well, that was a pretty good summary! 🙂
Yep, nail on head.
I think Sony has made the correct decision to go with the 35mm 1.4 this time around instead of a 2.0. Yes the size argument is important for some, but I think Sony’s purpose for this lens is to go after those who would purchase the Otus for the large aperture.
There are serious shooters out here that need 1.4 lenses, I’m a Pro I need at least one lens that can get me out of trouble when the light goes to shit. Every system has 1.4 lenses as they are a big demand. But they will come at a cost and they will not be light weight or small. Can’t get around it
Matt your living in a fantasy world. Nikons 35 1.4 is 1679.00 canon is 1479.00. Your never going to get a 1.4 lens smaller or cheaper unless you go after a Sigma 35mm Art which is actually bigger and heavier. This is physics you can’t change it. Why do you think Sony should price there lenses so low than Leica. Your logic here makes no sense. Even better why should Sony be less than Nikon/ canon equivalents . Pricing is subjective, the price for the new 351.4 is actually competitive to other systems. Sony never ever said we will make lenses cheaper and smaller than there competitors. Especially when it comes to a 1.4 lens. Here is the good news they have slower and cheaper 35 lenses to buy.
That post was sarcasm! This one isn’t.
Wow… Matt’s comment went right over your head, didn’t it?
get life if you cant afford one.
Hey Andrea, are there still two add-ons for the 28mm? The wide angle and the fish eye? Any specs/prices for those?
They are some $350 or so thereabouts for each. If IQ degradation is minimal then it should be a very useful combo as you are almost in effect getting 3 different lenses.
I want the 35 1.4 so badly… The wait seems like forever!
Not that I use f22 often but I’m surprised that it is
missing from 35mm. Other ZA & ZE lenses
seem to have it.
