Again: Hasselblad X1D shipment postponed til November
This is the fourth time we have to report a X1D shipment postponement: BHphoto just updated the expected availability status. The X1D will now ship in beginning of November 2016 only. Just recently Hasselblad confirmed that the first batch of camera has been produced and shipped.
I don’t know if the delay is caused by some production issues or by the high demand of the camera.
New rumors: Fuji will make a Graphite X-PRO2. Sony A5100 discontinued (new A5300 coming soon?)
Two new rumors:
- Fujirumors reports that Fuji will launch a graphite X-PRO2 in 2017
- The A5100 got marked as discontinued. Sony could launch the new A5300 soon…(via SAR).
Samyang says doing MFT and X autofocus lenses is possible
Focus Numerique interviewed the Samyang managers at Photokina. There are two interesting points:
- Samyang said doing MFT and X-mount autofocus lenses is possible. But the market for those kind of lenses is small so they still don’t know if they will do it
- Samyang said they will start to make zoom lenses too. First for the XEEN cine lens line. And after that for the “normal” photography world.
Sony is still going to announce a new FE lens in October?
I guess most companies will not announce any new product this year. But Sony may be an exception! They still have some E-mount stuff to come. SAR reports a 10mm f/2.8 STF FE lens could be announced in October. It’s still unclear if Sony will also announce a new E-mount camera. The A7m3, A5300 and the A9 are the hottest candidates…
