New Zeiss 16-35mm RAW image samples (and still selling well in US).

The Zeiss 16-35mm is still leading the order ranking at Amazon US (full list here).

VeryBigLobo is so kind to share the first RAW file 16-35mm samples freely for download. He also made a quick comparison with the A-mount 16-35mm and says the A-mount lens performed worse and has more smearing on corners. But take such conclusion with a grain of salt. You need proper time and location to make a fair comparison.

Cameras.reviewed shared their hands-on thoughts about the lens and do write:

It’s made of metal, has a pleasant heft, and feels like it’s meant to be used—not just put on a shelf and admired.

Sony Japan launches a special FE camera/lens kit box!

Sony Japan launched a new special FE kit box. It contains all three FE zooms:

Zeiss 16-35mm

Zeiss 24-70mm

Sony G 70-200mm

and of course an A7 camera of your choice.

That is what it looks inside the box:

It will be sold in Japanese Sony Stores only starting from mid October.

P:S.: That Hasselblad HV A-mount box (Click here) looks definitely more luxurious!
