Sony QX1 (E-mount) Smartphone Lens Price & Availability Revealed

Sony_QX1

Later today, Sony should be unveiling the QX30 and QX1. While the former is more in line with previous QX models aside from an improved 30x optical zoom, the latter is an entirely different beast. Unlike the QX30, the QX1 is a 20.1-megapixel attachable E-mount smartphone lens with sensor adaptor so to speak, which allows you to connect any E-mount lens to your favorite iOS and Android smartphone/tablet. Thanks to Sony’s website, we’ve now been able to learn a little more.

Though it disappeared as quickly as it appeared, we were able to confirm the QX1 listing which had a $399 price tag. Alongside that price, an October 9th shipping date was revealed. Since that time, Sony has taken the link down though we won’t have to wait much longer for Sony’s IFA keynote.

Discuss:

If the price holds true, would you pay $399 to attach your E-mount lens to your smartphone and/or tablet?
