Canon Mount will be the first wave of 14mm lens product in early January – maaaaaaybe some Sony E Mount will be included in those shipments but he said that’s a ‘pie in the sky’ expectation. More likely Sony E Mount will appear in latter January / early February.

Juan: “Take Kayo interviewed me about my Beers And Cameras meet-ups. I talk about how I use my Sony, like my M-Mount glass and other things. Think your audience may find it entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1V020t6l0”
Scott: “A personal project shot on a mixed bag of Sony cameras. I normally work on weddings, making films and taking photos so it was good to leave the work behind and try something different. This film was shot on the A7s, A7ll, A7r, RX100mk4, RX10mk2 and the Phantom3 Pro. The lenses used were the FE90mm f2.8, Batis 85 f1.8, FE 35 f1.4 and 24-70 f4. https://vimeo.com/181710326”
Sony announced a new backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor at IEDM 2016 which is equipped with integrated polarizers. Nikkei reports:
A polarizer is a kind of filter that transmits only light in a specific polarization state and reflects light in the other states. A prototype of the new sensor is equipped with four kinds of polarizers that transmit linearly-polarized lights (linearly-polarized waves) with different polarization directions (polarization angles: 0, 45, 90 and 135°). In the lecture, the group emphasized that the transmittance and extinction ratio of the prototype are satisfactory. It disclosed data to prove that it has achieved a higher extinction ratio than that of a conventional polarization camera in the wavelength range of 400-700nm. Also, the sensitivity and extinction ratio of the new sensor are less dependent on the incident angle.
It’s the first time I see so many good deals on Sony stuff during the Christmas time in Europe. Today we got another bunch of great deals through Amazon.de.

Lyubo: “We finished our new actionsport video, shot in Austria in March and April. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFmub_EbVcg It is all filmed on the A7S II with a few shots on the Gopro4. And regarding lenses, it was mostly shot on the Samyang Emount 8mm fisheye, Sony 24-70 f4, and Sony 55-210, with a few shots on the Samyang 50mm f1.4, and the Sony 10-18mm f4.
I hope you like it, and if the viewers have any questions about how we shot it, the gear, editing process, etc., I’d happy to answer.”
