We have them in stock now in New Zealand. Stunning camera to use. Others will get into this more but I can tell you if youve been using the 5D through the generations this will get you excited all ...

If the 21mm focal length works for you i cant praise the Loxia 21mm enough. If you go Canon 16-35mm adapted, don't but either of the first 2 generations. The F4 is the much better option.

Ok... So I landed a mint condition, late serial # Contax 100-300mm and Ive had a day to run some initial tests. I knew there would be no way it would beat my Canon 70-200 2.8 II as thats an ...

We have all 3 sitting on the shelf here in the shop. Ive used all of them in testing and they are all top of the line. The 18mm has slightly less resolution in the corners but its not a big deal ...

Id be keen to hear anyones thoughts on a comparison too.. :-)

Does it squash your fingers between the grip and the lens?

Yes a lot of the samples are either out of focus or have motion blur. Pretty large fail from some 'pro' photographers! Have a look at the full size samples off the 85mm at Gordon Laings flickr site ...

You wont be waiting until March :-)

I would imagine they are just repeating the fact Sony said they would update on moving forward around the middle of January.... I wish they would hurry up! :-)

You've actually just verified what I'm saying. There's some cracking samples around and some units that are clearly not right. So again, quality control issues. Yes, my mind is made up. I decided ...

You perhaps should download some of their full sized samples and then ask yourself would you be happy spending what its worth in your country for that sort of quality? The Mark 1 I owned (for one) ...

Im pretty sure its a quality control issue. If youve got a good copy then theres no problem. Some samples Ive seen have been shocking and clearly there is something not lined up correctly on those ...

Other manufacturers who have had issues mark their boxes for the modified stock. Most often its just a colored circle/dot.

My RX1rII, which has been on hold at a retailer for a few weeks now, has been returned to Sony as per their instructions...FWIW..

Its not just the Japanese market. I can tell you for a fact that theres plenty of samples that are in warehouses and retail stores that arent allowed to be sold. Mine included! :-(

I downloaded all the Raws off that Korean site and had a play with them. I think we need to wait for some better raws as they were pretty horrid. All were shot at apertures that werent ideal ...

I wouldnt read too much into it currently... I downloaded one of the full size Jpegs from Sony Japan and we printed it 30 x 45 inches on the Chromira led large format RA4 printers. Its on display ...
