Zeis says new Batis lenses are focus by wire like all other Sony/Zeiss FE lenses.

Share

SAR reader Luke managed to get an answer from Zeiss whether the new Batis lens line have focus by wire or not. Zeiss answered that:

The Batis lenses have “focus by wire”. Like the same innovative focusing features like the Sony/Zeiss FE type lenses. To allow quick and also precise manual focusing with an AF lens,  the focusing distance will change according to the speed you turn the focusing ring. If you prefer mechanically coupled focusing rings, the LOXIA lenses might be the best solution for you.

Thanks Luke for sharing Zeiss answer!

Zeiss-Großplanetarium Berlin erhält modernes Planetariumssystem von ZEISS Kern...

Zeiss-Großplanetarium Berlin erhält modernes Planetariumssystem von ZEISS

Kern der Neuausstattung ist ein ZEISS Hybrid-Planetarium, bestehend aus zehn digitalen ZEISS VELVET Projektoren für die Ganzkuppel-Projektion, sowie ein speziell für das Berliner Planetarium modifizierter Sternprojektor ZEISS UNIVERSARIUM Modell IX.
Der bisherige Sternprojektor ZEISS COSMORAMA wird als bedeutendes Zeugnis der Planetariumsgeschichte ein neues Zuhause im Foyer finden. Die Wiedereröffnung ist für das Frühjahr 2016 geplant. Besucher können dann wieder unsere Heimatgalaxie im Flug erleben, die mit 200 Milliarden Sternen im Flug in den intergalaktischen Raum zu einem Lichtpunkt unter Milliarden anderen Sterneninseln schrumpft.

Übrigens: Hier findet Ihr einen Beitrag des rbb über das ehemalige Herzstück des Großplanetariums: http://bit.ly/1QndQGN

Sony says: “cameras with a translucent mirror are not forgotten”.

The polish site Optyczne was present at the London press conference from Sony. They report:

During the presentation the speaker pointed out the continuous development of Sony Alpha DSLR system and emphasized that despite strong offensive on the mirrorless market  cameras with a translucent mirror are not forgotten.

The sideshow title was “Sony maintains commitment to A-mount“.

Yesterday Sony showed the two new A-mount lenses and their two new 30x cameras at the event. There was no “hint” at all about a possible new A-mount camera coming soon. For all we know new E-mount and RX cameras “only” are coming in May-June.
