Short personal note: Offline for eight hours. Samyang 24mm f/2.8 FE lens might be announced today!

Share

Just a short note: I am offline for eight-ten hours as I am hiking on the Dolomites (I may post pictures on my IG channel here).  But it’s possible that Samyang will announce the new 24mm f/2.8 FE lens today. This is why Patrick from Fujirumors will post the Samyang news once it’s official. I kindly ask you to threat him with NO respect and give your best ever trolling comments :)

P.S:
– To all people sending me RX100VI test links. Be patient, I will post them in 10 hours ok?
– some comments awaiting moderation will get approved in 10 hours
– Again, please have a trolling fun with Patrick :)

(SR5) Zeiss next Batis lens will be a 40mm f/2.0 CF FE!

Share

Rumors keep getting in in thes last days! Nokishita reports that Zeiss is testing a new Batis 40mm f/2.0 CF FE lens. These are the lens specs:

Distagon optical design
The shortest shooting distance is 0.24 m
With focus limiter (Full / ∞ ~ 0.4 m / 0.5 m to 0.24 m)
Filter diameter is 67 mm
Batis Size close to 85mm (40mm is slightly smaller)

I am not sure what “CF” stands for. But Zeiss made [shoplink 71260 ebay]CF lenses for Hasselblad (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and they had in lens shutter mechanism. But the best guess is that CF stands for “Close Focus”.

It is also unclear yet when this lens will be announced.

Batis 85mm FE lens at BHphoto, Amazon and Adorama.
