As you know Zhongyi recently announced the new Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 II APS-C E-mount lens. You can preorder the lens at Bhphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). The new lens is more compact and has an improved optical performance compared to it’s predecessor. Richard Wong is the first to have tested the new lens and writes:

The original Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 is a pretty nice lens, but the wide open sharpness really isn’t that impressive. I’m happy to report this is greatly improved with the new mark II version. Even with the pretty demanding 24MP Sony A6000, the center sharpness is really good at maximum aperture. The bokeh is really quite nice and smooth. There is a little bit of cat’s eye effect but nothing too dramatic.

Check out the image samples posted by Richard Wong. Looks like this is a pretty good lens…

Lensrentals opened up the new Batis 25mm lens and looked inside. This is what they say:

We learned that Zeiss’ claim to weather and dust resistance is well founded. We saw a lot of tight foamed seals and there were no obvious ‘leak points’ in the lens. And it had obviously gotten into a lot of sane, but there was not one grain of sand on the inside.
We confirmed (as we already expected) that electromagnetic linear focusing system is at its core identical to the one used in other FE mount lenses. We did find it seems more robustly put together than what we saw in the first generation systems. Whether this is because Zeiss has it manufactured to a different specification or simply because the new technology is being improved we don’t know yet. Neither do we know who actually is making the AF module for the various E mount lenses. It really doesn’t matter, but I’m sure people are going to argue about it. Because people love to argue about things that don’t really matter.

Sony A6300 Update Part 2 by TheDigitalDigest:

Dpreview posted their A6300 first impression review and do write:

It’s pretty clear that Sony set out to create a future-proof camera in the a6300, one whose specs will likely look impressive, even two years down the road. The camera has a lot of fire power, both in the AF and video departments, and initial impressions indicate that everything works as it should. Which is to say, the a6300 is a really impressive little camera.It’s certainly not going to turn any heads with it looks, but it should give you everything you need to instead turn heads with your images. Which for most, is a much more worthwhile goal.

Thanks Bob!

CameraLabs posted the final full Sony A6300 review:

Ultimately I commend Sony on its sensor technology which is racing ahead of the competition. The autofocus and movie capabilities of the A6300’s sensor are truly impressive, and by eliminating viewfinder lag, they’ve also addressed one of the remaining benefits DSLRs had over mirrorless cameras. I just wish they’d invest as much effort into control and ergonomics as my issues with them hold the A6300 back from my top award. That said, I’ll be upgrading my own A6000 to the A6300 for sports and action photography and look forward to updating this review with how it performs in the future.
