Zeiss Touit Lenses: the Birds Roost
The birds are here, coverage to follow later today.
The Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 Distagon and Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 Planar autofocus lenses for Sony NEX and Fuji X are now available for pre-order at B&H Photo.
I’ve run into one odd thing driving me bananas with both Touit lenses on the Sony NEX-7: with autofocus enabled, the lenses hunt periodically (without me doing anything).
I’ve learned that this might actually be a (very annoying) *feature* of the Sony NEX.
Any readers who have NEX and AF lenses please let me know if such behavior is actually a NEX feature (bug).

I am afraid to report that the AF behavior you're noticing is normal. I can't, for the life of me, understand why Sony chose to do this.
DIGLLOYD: Wow. That’s a big strike against NEX in my view— makes the camera feel unstable and unpredictable.
