I should have these two new Zeiss lenses by May 3rd for testing on the 24-megapixel Sony NEX-7. See my previous notes on the Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 and 32mm f/1.8.
See also my review of the Sony NEX system which includes pages on the existing Sony/Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 Sonnar.
As these are lenses for Sony NEX and Fuji X, review coverage for these two lenses will go into Guide to Mirrorless (DSLR lenses for Nikon and Canon go into Guide to Zeiss).
Mounting the Sony NEX-7 to a ballhead (tripod)
As with all tests, it’s a lot easier to shoot reliably when a camera plate offers a fast and efficient way to mount the camera to a tripod.
That’s where the Really Right Stuff BNEX7-L comes in: use the base plate only, or include the “L” portion which allows a quick swap to the vertical (portrait) position.
