Sony has quietly re-posted the CZ 24mm F/2 lens to the “fixed lens” listing in their US website. It also looks like they made sure the description didn’t have any remnants of the 24-70mm zoom in it. That’s good, and I hope there aren’t any problems bringing it to market.

Some folks are wondering about the flash extension for the 18-200mm NEX lens. I talked to a US Sony sales rep, and he told me that the flash extension is only included with the purchase of a NEX camera and 18-200mm lens, in kit form, (NEX5H). All other purchases, like the 18-200mm alone, or in conjunction with a NEX …
Check out my full review of the new Sony NEX 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 OSS lens, it’s a long one, and chock full of sample crops and comparisons, so dial-up users be patient while the page loads. I went ahead and did a quick comp with this lens and the Sony 70-200mm F/2.8 at 200mm, just to see what the …

I’ve got a good jump on the new Sony NEX 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 review, and should have it ready next week sometime.

Image quality takes a serious back seat to that CZ lens, at least at the long end, …
Has Sony pulled the plug on the Carl Zeiss 24mm F/2 lens? It does not appear anywhere on their site as of 21:44, 9/12/10 EST. Apparently, Sony’s US website was down on Saturday for maintenance(?) As I was trying to update some links to the CZ 24mm F/2 lens I noticed it was gone on the Carl Zeiss lens …
Apparently, Sony has decided to pull back the A560/580 release for the immediate future. The cameras are no longer listed on Sony’s US website. This is really weird, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen before, at least with Sony. Another item that seems odd is the absence of the NEX 18-200mm lens which was supposed to …
I forgot to mention a couple of things about the NEX cameras in the entries below. First, I think the cameras only make sense when used with a small lens, because the whole idea behind the NEX system is small size. When you put a big lens on a tiny camera, the package is still big, sorta like using …
