Aleksandar: Greetings, I didn’t see any video about speedboster error that is very common. So I made a video about fixing missing infinity focus for viltrox/metabones/commlite and othets.
Here’s video, if you think it could be helpful for others. I would be happy you share it. Thank you

Off brand news: Nikon cancels DL camera release. And releases worrying financial report.

Today Nikon issued two important press releases:

1) It will cancel the launch of the Nikon DL series which was supposed to compete with the Sony RX100 and RX10. Nikon writes:

the DL series will be canceled due to concerns regarding their profitability considering the increase in development costs, and the drop in the number of expected sales due to the slow-down of the market.

2) What’s way more worrying is that Nikon issued a special statement today: “Notice of Recognition of Extraordinary Loss

Many Nikon cameras do use Sony sensors and it’s unclear yet how much this news will affect Sony sensor sales (I guess it’s little impact).

Ambivalence short film shot on the A7s

Ambivalence from Lammens & Lahousse on Vimeo.

Maximousse (SonyAlphaForum) shared this great short film shot on the A7s:

Two female filmmakers,
one writer and director,
one director of photography,

are proud to present you …

AMBIVALENCE is a short that tells the story of Nora, who lives a very eccentric life.
She looks at her life as if it’s a rollercoaster that’s only going up.
But Nora doesn’t realize that her cheerful nature might also have a very dark edge.

Shot on A7S.
Samyang VSLR lenses – 24/35/50/85.
1080HD / 25 and 50 fps internal recording.
Grading in DaVinci Resolve.
No animals were harmed ;)
