Images of the modified A7 Full Frame E-mount camera without EVF!

A Chinese member of the Xitek forum shared these pictures of his Full Frame E-mount camera wihtout EVF. He modified the Sony A7 by removing the EVF on top of the camera. It now has become a sort of Full Frame a6500 camera. The forum members clearly liked his “creation” and maybe Sony should really consider to make such a camera.

Click on these pictures to see how he modified the camera:

Just a reminder: Sony actually once patented a FF compact camera without the top EVF:

Samyang officially announces the new 35mm f/1.4 FE autofocus lens

Samyang announced the new 35mm f/1.4 FE lens. We leaked the lens info back in August. The lens is yet not available for preorder but this is the official press text. More info at samyanglensglobal.com/product/detail.do?SQ=62:

Samyang Optics is pleased to announce the release of their fourth autofocus lens: AF 35mm f/1.4 FE. The bright f/1.4 aperture and absolute resolution turn every moment into artwork. This lens now expands Samyang’s autofocus lens line-up to four which includes three existing autofocus lenses, AF 14mm f/2.8 FE, AF 35mm f/2.8 FE and AF 50mm f/1.4 FE.

Aim High, Create Artwork

This new AF 35mm f/1.4 FE works in harmony with full-frame mirrorless cameras in Sony E mount such as Sony α7 or α9 series. It is designed to appeal to enthusiasts and professionals who are ready to take the next step up in photography. It is the excellent companion to create artworks from everyday moments, while the tiny AF 35mm f/2.8 FE released in June of this year is the perfect partner for everyday photographers.

High Performance beyond Expectation

Absolute resolution across the entire image field is the key feature of Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE. The lens includes 11 elements in 9 groups and features 2 aspherical lenses and 2 high-refractive lenses, plus Ultra Multi Coating. The optical design minimises various aberrations and unnecessary light dispersion to deliver outstanding resolution. Fast, precise and quiet autofocus performance meets Samyang’s exceptional optical technology to capture any moments clearly. The bright F1.4 secures fast shutter speed and creates shallow depth of focus images in wide-standard angle of view. The new 35mm f/1.4 lens is ideal for professional photography including low-light events, landscapes and portraits with expressive characteristics.

Available from November 2017

Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE, a lens for photographers aiming high in photography, will be available globally from November and will carry a suggested retail price of £599.00 inc VAT.

via ePhotozine

The lens is priced at 669 Euro in Europe.
