@angelmorenophoto⁠ ——————-⁠ Soviet projector lens 16KP-1.2/50 adapted to Sony E-mount cameras (NEX). It works perfectly in APSC mode being at a 75mm focal length. The circular bokeh is very beautiful and as an objective it is ideal for portraiture. It has good sharpness in the central area to be such a large opening. The test images confirm the approach to infinity and other distances thanks to the adapter I designed. This has been a commission for a client.⁠ ⁠ #sonya7 #sonya7ii #camerageek #oldlens #oldlens_tokyo #oldlens_japan #oldlenses #vintagelens #vintagelenses⁠ #mirrorlessgeeks #mirrorlesscamera #camerasetup #cameragear #sonyalphasclub #sonymirrorless #sonyalphaclub⁠ #oldlenslife #cameraporn #retrolens

Competition news: First Canon EOS-R5 8K recording report

MirrorlessRumors received the very first detailed Canon EOS-R5 8K video recording report:

• 512GB CFExpress card will fit about 21 min of 8K RAW video footage.
• NO CROP in 8K30 OR 4K120 verified ✅.
• No Dual recording video to both cards.
• Running the 8KRAW video for 20 min straight NO HEATING issues whatsoever.

While I am not 100% sure yet I don’t think the A7sII successor will record 8K. Looks like top quality 4K video was Sony’s goal.
