SAR reader Benny spotted that new Hasselblad “lusso” E-mount camera in a Hong Kong store. The luxurified A7r clone sells for around HKD40000 which is about $5,150. Not as terribly expensive as previous Hasselblad Sony clones if you consider the 28-70mm FE lens a nice box and strap are included in the final price.

Current Hasselblad Sony clones are:

Diglloyd tests the Batis lenses: “are must-haves for the serious Sony shooter”.

batis_85mm_25mm_zeiss_sony

Diglloyd (Click here) is the first blogger having the chance ot test both new Batis lenses. And his first conclusion is unmistakably favorable:

Both the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 Distagon and 85mm f/1.8 Sonnar are must-haves for the serious Sony shooter. I intend to buy my own set along with the new Sony A7R II. I suspect that the Zeiss Batis lenses will be in very high demand just as has been the case with the Zeiss Loxia lenses.

Both Batis lenses are now available for preorder in USA and Europe (UK/Germany)
Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens in US at Adorama, Bhphoto. In Eu at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2.0 lens at Adorama, Bhphoto. In EU at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
In Europe and Asia the Loxias can be found in Stock via [shoplink 36456 ebay]eBay sellers (Click here)[/shoplink] and Digitalrev (Click here).

The very first RX1 competitor has been announced: The Leica Q.

Share

Note for German readers: Gold Box now on the RX1R (Click here).

It’s really great news that Sony finally got competition in the RX FF segment. Leica just announced their Leica Q camera (specs here at BHphoto). And I hope this will one more reason for Sony to finally unleash the RX2! Here is a short recap of the new Leica Q strong and weak points compared to the Sony:

advantages of the new Leica:
– ISO up to 50.000
– faster 28mm f/1.7 lens
– 3.68 MP EVF
– first reports indicate very fast autofocus in bright light conditions.
– better overall built quality and button layout
– longer battery life
– has a proper Q smartphone App

disadvantages of the new Leica:
– The RX1 is still a lot smaller
– video quality on the RX1 seems to be better
– The RX1 is cheaper (RX1 costs $2,800 and the Leica Q $4,250 although the Leica comes with integrated EVF).

Hasselblad_LUsso

Hasselblad China just posted the first image of the new “Lusso” camera. This is a “luxurified” Sony A7r clone camera! It is NOT based on the newly announced Sony A7rII. Real world images of the camera can be seen on my previous SAR post.

Current Hasselblad Sony clones are:

(SR5) Leaked! Hasselblad version of the Sony A7r!!!

Share

Look here! Hasselbad will soon announce the luxury version of the Sony A7r! These are the very first images leaked via Chiphell. We don’t know yet what the name of the camera will be. So far the other Hasselblad Sony clones are called [shoplink 37464 ebay]Stellar (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 37465 ebay]Lunar (Click here)[/shoplink] and Hasselblad HV ($7,999 off on BH!).

A bit strange though they launch the expensive A7r clone after the Sony A7rII announcement!

Thanks Joe for sharing these pics!
