Andy’s Travel Blog:@SonyAlphaRumors massive special project shot exclusively with @Sony a7rII and a6500, thought you’d enjoy: dallasaltitude.com

Evan:I just did a shoot in NYC for a magazine, featuring my Sony a7RII and my new Profoto B1s while tethered to my Surface Pro 4 on my new Tethertools Aero (I love new gear!!). I give narration during the entire video explaining the settings and methodology for each shot. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/v-OQpJMNs34. The video was shot in 4K on the Sony a7SII

Nikon announces a lens I want Sony to make too :)

The next FE lenses Sony will announce will be a 135mm (probably f/1.8), a new 400mm (probably f/2.8) and there is also a third lens coming by end 2017.

But if Sony needs advice on what they should put ont heir roadmap please listen to me and make a FE version of the just announced new Nikon 28mm f/1.4. I do prefer that focal length over the 35mm lens.

Who is on board with me?

If Sony would make a 28mm f/1.4 FE lens

Sigma statement: Working on a MC-11 firmware fix to make AF-S work properly on the A9

Sigma Japan issued an official statement:

For customers using SONY α9 (ILCE-9) camera

Thank you for purchasing and using our products.
We have found that the combination of SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 (SA-E and EF-E) and some of SIGMA’s interchangeable zoom lenses may not focus precisely, if it is attached to SONY a9 (ILCE-9), released by SONY in May in 2017.
When using AF-S mode and shooting in telephoto range, it could occasionally display the shot is in focus, although it may not be spotted properly on the subject.
We are afraid of this inconvenience caused to the customers who use these products.
We are now investigating the phenomenon and will make a further announcement on the website shortly.
We appreciate your continued support for our company.

For further information, please contact your nearest authorized SIGMA subsidiary / distributor.

Andrzey:I shot a little video on how to do product/macro photography in a very inexpensive way using two cheap LED lights and color gels. I’m using the Sony A7 and the Sony 90mm f/2.8 macro to take the shoots. Hope it’ll be interesting for your readers :)
Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIcJIPcCSnI

Brad:Here is the link to the article on the Viltrox Focal Length Reducer, as I mentioned its much better than might be assumed from the price.
Provide you put a decent lens in front of it of course.  Some general info on reducers as well.
