Zeiss ZX1 Discontinued


It looks like the incredibly unique Zeiss ZX1 is being discontinued with no follow-up camera planned that we are aware of. I always found the ZX1 camera interesting, but I think Zeiss messed up with its high Leica-like price point that it could not justify. I’d really like to pick up a Zeiss ZX1 at some point in the future, but I simply can’t justify the price of the camera over a Sony RX1 or Leica Q2 which I have owned before and both are fantastic cameras. It’s notable to mention that the Leica Q has always been a very strong seller while the Sony RX1 has not been, but it continues to be produced for a niche part of the market.

Tamron Announcement Coming Feb 22nd


how2fly has broken a few announcements on Twitter, and the latest is that there will be an announcement event on February 22nd. There are a lot of lenses for E-mount from Tamron already so unless this is a new lens it might just be a new mount for a growing system, but hopefully, it is something exciting for Sony shooters since Tamron has released a lot of great glass for E-mount already.
