For unknown reason the Zeiss Touit 50mm macro lens is quite hard to find in USA. But now two of them are in Stock at KenmoreCamera on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. A good news is that the 50mm Loxia lens will already ship next week according to BHphoto (Click here).
New deal: Save some bucks on the Sony SD double pack at Adorama (Click here).
P.S.: Kai from Digitalrev pretty much summed up the this year Photokina "unexciting" stuff.

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.
