Flo: “Godox released their Sony version of the V860 I saw on your blog.
Actually I have been shooting with the version I since a while now and wrote up a little summary of my experience.
http://www.flodahm.com/blog/2016/6/5/shooting-with-the-godox-v850860
No in depth-review with technical stuff – just feedback on the flash/brand during real-life situation on the job. The brand was at least in my network completely unheard off and most people don’t trust it. If the V860II is as good as the 860c, Sony shooters shouldn’t hesitate!“

New image of the Hasselblad medium format system camera with Sony 50MP sensor!

Share

Hassleblad

The image above shows you a part of the new Hassleblad camera that will be announced on June 22 at 14:00 Berlin time. It seems to be highly likely that Sony is involved into this project too. At least with the 50MP medium format sensor but probably also with some more tech. So the camera will be:

– First Hasselblad mirrorless system camera
– Sony 50MP sensor (twice the area an the FF sensor)
– Built-in viewfinder

It will be interetsing to see what kind of mount Hassleblad will use for this. And if Sony could “join” that system sometimes in the near future!

Hasselblad is teasing the event with the phrase “game changer in the world of photography”. Ming Thein also writes:

“let’s say I do have some knowledge about what this might be, and it’s at least twice as interesting as they promise:) Feel free to speculate away in the comments; I shall neither confirm nor deny…”

That sounds promising!!!

Jonathan: “Sony was kind enough to lend me their new 85mm f/1.4 GM lens, which I compared to the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 that I already own. Both are outstanding, but the Sony just took it to another level. So now I’m switching (an expensive proposition, but worth it). Please check out the pictures.
