On the video above Sony shows the industrial sensor roadmap. While yet not directly an Alpha related news it might be interesting for you to see what Sony is developing.

The X-PRO 2 announcement was the big news of the week. Just a small curiosity: The X-PRO 2 image film has been shot with the Sony A7sII:

Now if we could somehow mix both companies expertise into one camera. That would be something or not?

Gareth: “Hi, it’s clearly not fully developed & released yet, but the new Wireless Trigger ” Air R” that works with the Nissin Air Commander has appeared on the Nissin site. This will allow users to add other flashes (including the fantastically compact i40) to the Air Commander control system. http://www.nissindigital.com/air_r.html One of the few affordable native hot-shoe compatible systems. Much more affordable than Sony of Phottix flash.”

Joe: “I just dumped a trove of APS-C E mount zoom test shots onto my blog, along with a bit of commentary:

That was a lot of work, I hope somebody else finds it useful.“

Marc from Berlin sent me his Kickstarter project description:

We’re a small fine mechanics company from Germany and have worked on these two ultra high speed lenses for the last year or so. The result is one full frame Leica M mount lens, perfect for mirrorless cameras of any system, and one dedicated lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Both are now ready and so we’ve started a kickstarter campaign to make them available.  I’m sure your readers are curious to find out more or even get one for themselves.
Here’s where people can find our project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1745517054/50-mm-f-075-the-fastest-photographic-lens-in-the-w
And here’s where they can find us: https://www.facebook.com/ExperimentalOptics/

What MArc does is take the current “Dutch” [shoplink 44189 ebay]De Oude Delft lenses (can be found here on eBay)[/shoplink] and modify them into M-mount lenses. That way the lens can be adapted on Sony E-mount. The great news is that it covers full frame without any vignetting! Image samples shot with the A7r can be seen on the Kickstarter site.
