Emount zeiss 50mm macro

[dlutzer]

Can't seem to find the link. But I read on the Zeiss sight that it was being delayed until they figured out how to get the firmware to work with the new a6000 super fast auto focus...... bummed!

 

[Marshmellow]

it was a Zeiss response to a question by a user on their sites blog:

"I have the sony a6000 and i just want to know when this lense will appear for sonny??? For fujifilm is on the street one month ago but i want to know a date for sony please!!

• Carl Zeiss Lenses
• Dear Quique!
  In order to guarantee the comprehensive functionality of the new Touit 2.8/50M, we have decided not to commence delivery of this lens in the E-mount version until the fast hybrid AF function is made available. As a result, the availability of the lens in stores is expected to be delayed until May or June 2014.
  Thank you for your patience and best regards
  your ZEISS Lenses Team"
  
  
  It does say May or June, and since the E-mount version is available being sold directly from Japan on eBay, maybe they've finished the firmware upgrade and it's been released? Shouldn't be much longer now, but for those of us who've been waiting, it seems like forever since it's announcement a few years ago. LOL.

No kidding! What we really need is the a7000 (nex 7 true replacement) with timelapse built in for underwater timelapse. !
