We all saw the images of the new 85mm GM lens but this is the first image of the…BOX :) It’s part of the Korean Hands-on report on blog.naver.com.

Those of you considering to buy the 85mm GM can check out those latest test:

Dpreview posted their full Sony RX1RIi review:

In real-world use, the RX1R II does have its frustrations. The dials are great, but the buttons are mushy. The thumb grip makes the camera comfortable to hold, but it’s expensive and gets in the way of some vital controls. A camera body so small and so pocketable encourages run-and-gun, hand-holdable shooting, but trying to get 42MP of sharpness dictates careful application of shooting technique, and maybe even a tripod. And the compactness of that body is somewhat tempered by the need to carry a pocket full of batteries on colder days.
But there’s still only one ‘world’s smallest full-frame digital camera.’ And if you can look past its shortcomings, the Sony RX1R II is capable of absolutely stellar images and can travel with you just about anywhere.

The only GM lens we know little about is the 70-200mm f/2.8 (listed here at BHphoto). We don’t know price and exact shipment date yet. But the good news is that the lens is really only slightly bigger than the current f/4.o FE version.

Both ePhotozine and Photographyblog posted hands-on pictures if you want to get a “taste” of how this lens is.

Hands-on testing with [shoplink 44786 ebay]Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 (lens on eBay)[/shoplink] and Techart PRO

I am pretty sure many SAR readers do own M-moount lenses (like I do). And here are brand new videos showing you how good some of those M-mount lenses will focus with the new Techart PRO Leica M – Sony E Autofocus Adapter. You can preorder the adapter at http://www.techartpro.com/.

1) Testing with [shoplink 44787 ebay]Leica 50mm f/1.4 (lens on eBay)[/shoplink] @ f/1.4 with Sony A7 Mark II (0:00 – 1:11)
2) Testing with [shoplink 44788 ebay]Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2 (lens on eBay)[/shoplink] @ f/1.2 Mark II with Sony A7 Mark II (1:12 – 1:54)
3) Testing with [shoplink 44789 ebay]Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 (lens on eBay)[/shoplink] @ f/4.5 Mark III with Sony A7 Mark II
(1:55 – 2:42)

1) Testing with [shoplink 44790 ebay]Leica 90mm f/2 (lens on eBay)[/shoplink] @ f/2 with Sony A7 Mark II (0:00 – 0:47)
2) Close Focus Test with [shoplink 44788 ebay]Voigtlander VM 35mm f/1.2 (II) (lens on eBay)[/shoplink] at designed closest focusing distance 0.5m. The distance shortens to around 0.2m after using our Techart PRO adapter (0:48 – 2:21)
