Just got this image. It shows a Zeiss Loxia (50mm?) on the Sony A7r! The new 50mm and 35mm f/2.0 Loxia could be announced tomorrow (or Tuesday). No idea how much they will cost yet.
Share it where you want and be nice…link back to me please ;)
The best APS-C performer at DxO yet.
One of my long time good sources said that Samsung soon to be announced NX1 is said to have the best DxOmark score of all APS-C cameras. The camera will score around the mid-80 points therefore beating the best Nikon D7100 and Sony A6000 sensors.
On September 15 Samsung will announce the 28 megapixel NX1 camera. And the first teaser has been spoiled at SamsungTomorrow. There is little to be seen on these images a part of the huge grip :)
I am working to get more specs…this will be the big news at Photokina for sure!

On Monday/Tuesday Zeiss is going to announce a new series of lenses named “Loxia”. These are lenses designed for Sony E-mount Full Frame mirrorless system. The first two lenses will be the 35mm f/2.0 and 50mm f/2.0 lenses. Both manual focusing and both with physical aperture ring (and available electronic control).
As far as I heard these lenses are not bounded to the sole Sony FE system. If Fuji or someone else is going to launch a Full Frame mirrorless system camera Zeiss can offer those lenses in that mount too!
Well, we are slowly getting a clear picture about what’s coming.
1) Sony will focus on their A-mount stuff and “only” announced lenses for their mirrorless system (Zeiss Loxia and “normal” FE Sony lenses).
2) Panasonic will announce the LX1000 (fixed lens) and GM2 4K capable cameras
3) Olympus will announced the E-Pl7 today and is coming with a Silver E-M1 and new 40-150mm Pro lenses in a few days.
4) Canon/Nikon: Nothing serious on the horizon
5) Fuji “could” but also “could not” showcase a prototype of the 2015 X-PRO 2
So what could become the big hit at Photokina? Well it will come from an unexpected company: Samsung!
I have been told by sources the camera has the potential to become the best APS-C camera on market. It has a terrific EVF, over 10fps, brand new close to 30MP sensor and fastest AF on market. It looks like a modern camera (no retro style says redcrow).
I really can’t wait to learn more about that camera….
