Small update on the Sony A7sIII camera. A long time Asian source sent me this:

The development of α7sⅢ has been postponed because of heat issue (SAR note: That’s why it’s not coming in 2018).
α7sⅢ will have stacked CMOS sensor but the sensor is different to α9’s.
α7sⅢ will be sold in 2019’s early.

The A7sIII will surely have 4k60p and 5.6 milion dot EVF.
Before the As7III gets launched we should get the new High End APS-C camera along with new lenses.

Here is the size comparison between the three 85mm FE lenses. In that case I have no doubt the smaller Sony f/1.8 FE lens is the best choice unless you really need that tiny faster aperture. The GM is the bokeh king while the Sigma is the sharper than the GM. But I think the Sigma is really way too big for my taste :)
I do own the 85mm f/1.8 and it’s super for my hiking trips (light and sharp). Get it!

Casey: “My name is Casey Cavanaugh and I run the YouTube channel, GxAce. I have just uploaded a short film that was shot entirely through the viewfinder of a Hasselblad 500cm with the Sony A7sI.  I thought it might be something that your readers would find interesting as it shows just how good the original A7s can be even now.  It was shot using the Atomos Shogun for the 4k as well.
I would love for you to take a look if you have the time.  It’s a little over 3 minutes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNeGkjaGtY8“
