Jared:I rep Vanguard (tripods, bags, accessories) and we’ve put together an EPIC giveaway package that includes a Sony a7R II + Sony Zeiss 24-70 F4 Lens. In all, we’re giving away $7K in gear (Sony, GNARBOX, Ikan, NiSi, Vanguard) + a $1000 travel voucher to go anywhere you want! I was wondering if you’d be willing to share with your group, and we’d be glad to tag you in some of our posts moving forward!

JB announced their new wood grip-base xl for the A7III-A7rIII and A9

JB Sony A7III Wood Grip XL Black-1.jpg

Today jbcameradesigns.com announced their new wood grip-base xl for the A7III-A7rIII and A9. They should be available soon on Amazon US:

This is a J.B. personal favorite and a new finish we are debuting! Add the MUCH NEEDED height to the Sony A7III series camera bodies with our new XL grip handcrafted from super strong (and light) White Oak. We carefully perfected our grip design for the A7III, A7RIII, and A9 and made it TALLER to accommodate room for you to finally place your pinky finger and feel confident in your grip!

This new XL grip is made of strong White Oak and then painted with special black paint. We then distress the grip to give each one it’s own unique finish. This grip feels awesome on my A7RIII and I finally feel confident and comfortable holding large pro lenses while shooting.

The total weight of the grip and hardware piece is only 3.0 ounces! The Sony vertical grip makes the system too bulky IMO, but with this XL grip base, it just feels perfect.

Each A7III Series XL grip is uniquely handcrafted and finished in the USA!

Competition rumors: Nikon FF mirrorless on August 23 and Canon mirrorless (FF?) on September 4

We have the dates of the big Mirrorless Full Frame war start :)

Nikon will announce their new FF mirrorless on August 23. While Canon has a big mirrorless (FF???) announcement on September 4. And what about Sony?. Sony is likely to announce the A7sIII some time after the big Nikon and Canon. Sony has not registered any new camera c ode in Asia (they usually register such codes 2-3 weeks before the announcement). And I guess Sony is eager to see what’s coming from the competition before they launch the A7sIII.

We have three major upcoming events where Sony could announce new gear:

– 13-18 September IBC Amsterdam.
– 26-29 September Photokina.
– 25-27 October Photoplus.

Of the three Photoplus is the one where usually Sony announces most of their E-mount stuff.
