I am sure Zeiss will release many more new Loxia FE lenses in 2015. Now let us help them to decide which one they should release first! Let’s guess for a moment that they will base their new Loxia lenses on the ZM lens design. Here are all of them:

[shoplink 9803 ebay]Distagon T* 4/18 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay)[/shoplink].

[shoplink 9810 ebay]Tele-Tessar T* 4/85 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay)[/shoplink].

Now, the question is, which three ZM lenses should they make first in a proper “Loxia” version?

Recently both Olympus (Silver E-M1) and Fuji (X-T1) launched the sort of Silver special editions. Don’t know if that is something SAR readers would like to get too. If you want to see how this would look for real Antonius Widjaya posted those images of a custom paint Sony a7r.

Adobe now addes full support for the A5100 and QX1 E-mount cameras. There are also plenty of new lens profiles. All the info can be read here: blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/10/1366.html

Of the two new Loxia FE lenses the 35mm prime is the most wanted according to SAR readers. Well exactly that one will ship from December 31 towards only according to BHphoto (Click here). Pity :(

This is a first video sample shot on that fantastic new 4K E-mount FS7. XDcam-User writes:

Where this camera will be really good is when combined with the new 28-135mm f4 servo zoom lens. Typically par-focal lenses with this kind aperture and zoom ratio cost in excess of $30K. The FS7 combined with this lens will be a killer combination and that’s why I have ordered one.

And to promote 4K Sony Germany had the strange idea to show how bubble freeze :) The effect is quite cool although I don’t see what’s the 4K advantage here. But that doesn’t matter i guess…it’s all about going viral here:
