The polish website Optyczne (Click here) just published the pictures of five new Fuji X lenses. These are the specs:
Fujinon Super EBC XF 10–24 mm f/4 R LM OIS
Fujinon Super EBC XF 23 mm f/1.4 R
Fujinon Super EBC XF 27 mm f/2.8 R
Fujinon Super EBC XF 55–200 mm f/3.5–4.8 R LM OIS
Fujinon Super EBC XF 56 mm f/1.4 R

Really some nice lenses they are offering here! There is no info about price and availability yet. You heard something about that?

We will never know how the heck Hasselblad came to the idea to make a luxury version of the Sony NEX-7…name it “lunar”….. and price it at 5.000 Euro! Yes, It is a NEX-7 (same sensor and specs) with lot of weird design and expensive materials to cover it. Made for rich housewives I guess! The bad news is that this super “Lunar” camera also killed our hopes to see a new medium format mirrorless camera :(

Hasselblad and Sony also announced a new partnership that will lead to develop new products for the DSLR and Mirrorless Sony system.

Zeiss (Click here) just announced the release of three new lenses for the Sony NEX and Fuji X systems. There will be three primes: 12mm f/2.8, 32mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/2.8. The lenses will have autofocus and be released in mid 2013 for a price around 1.000 Euro. The lenses will not be available for the m43 system. Dr. Michael Pollmann, Consumer Lenses Product and Program Manager said: “It would be possible for us to make lenses for Micro 4/3-bajonet as well but we have not made a decision on that yet.“

Leica surprised us all and announced two(!) new M rangefinder cameras. The M is the first camera using a 24 Megapixel CMOS (and no more CCD) sensor. The M-E is a more “affordable” Leica. The crazy think is that the Leica CMOS sensor is made by a Belgium company named Cmosis…never heard about it before! Here is a collection of links to news and previews of the cameras:
