Where is the Zeiss ZX1 camera?

By PR admin | Published: September 3, 2019

The Zeiss ZX1 full-frame camera was announced in September 2018 and shipments were supposed to start in early 2019. As of September 2019, the Zeiss ZX1 is nowhere to be found. The camera is still listed at B&H Photo and at the official Zeiss website but I am not sure what is going on - a simple delay or maybe a cancelation? Zeiss should explain the situation with a press release like may other companies do.
