Soon to be back in action!
Hello everyone! It’s been quite some time since I last posted anything; and a long time since I posted anything meaningful. I did not fall off a cliff, or decide to go find myself while traveling the world, I somewhat enjoy being lost all the time, and don’t have enough money to travel…Sony Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F/4 OSS ZA review!

I have the new Zeiss 16-70mm zoom now, and official testing will begin this weekend. It’s pretty small and light weight, although it looks big on the NEX-C3 below. It would compliment the 10-18mm, and may be the only two lenses you’d ever need for the NEX APS-C system: well, this …Updated info.
The Rokinon 16mm F/2 for Sony alpha review will be delayed for a while. My copy has an issue with the focusing mechanism (shifting when ring reversed) which causes image quality problems sometimes.
