Winston: “I thought you may be interested in my relaunched blog – wmlsays.wordpress.com (my winstonllamas.com domain redirects to that URL).  I am an amateur who enjoys photography as a hobby.  I will normally post pictures that I take along with writeups.  No equipment review, just pictures and short about the pictures.  I don’t discuss techniques, but you may find some of my ruminations useful.  Just photography from an amateur’s point of view.”

David: “I would love it if you would share a video I made showing how amazing the Sony A9 skin colours are against the canon 5D mark 1V https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63-GMMTOmJ4“

Anonymous: “OCT 18, 2017 — Image & Nature, a french magasine about nature photography just published 4 pages about the Star Eater issue. Thierry Legault, Ian Norman and Frédéric Michaud were interviewed by Marie-Émilie Colle.
Incredibly, Sony did not answered the questions of the journalist…

Sony Recognized as a Leader in Combating Climate Change and Water Resource Management by CDP Report
Zeiss workshop next week with Greg Waterman.
Teardown of a Salty Sony A7sII (Lensrentals).
Ledgo Versatile LED Mat 2 Bi color led flexible light (Personal View).
Sony RX10 IV and RX100V = Travel Camera Nirvana (TheDigitalDigest).
iOS Apps Can Secretly Shoot Photos if Given Camera Permissions (PetaPixel).

Ramesh: “I wanted to share a short film I shot mostly with RX10 Mk3, A7R2, RX10 IV and Samsung Galaxy S8. I would say Rx10iii was used for nearly 75% of the shots. It was a borrowed RX10 mk3 from a friend and I immediately saw the potential of the camera for movie making. I ordered mk4 right away and have since received RX10 IV after most of the shoot was done with mk3.But I used mk4 for some nature shots in the movie and I could immediately see the advancements in AF with the new model especially in AF-C. I will sure be using mk4 for future movies that I plan to make. Now to the movie.. this was shot with 5 friends and myself. All 5 of my friends acted in the movie and I was the solo crew member handling everything from story to screenplay to camera, editing and direction. The whole shoot was completed in a day and half and I used FCPX on a macbook pro to do the editing.
This movie is about 20 mins long in a foreign language but has English subtitles which you can turn on by clicking the CC option in youtube. Please watch it and let me know any feedback/comments or questions about RX10 cameras. https://youtu.be/Bo-Ne8GHflk

Eric: “I just released a short horror film for Halloween that we shot with a Sony a7Sii.  Thought your readers might get a kick out of it if you’d be willing to feature it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFENYeRXOE“

Two years ago Zyoptics launched the very fast 135mm f/1.4 lens as an E-mount version (see image on top). Today Zyoptics announced the lens will be available as native A-mount version too. Not sure how many A-mount owners will go for this lens as we already have the the superb Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 A-mount (here at [shopcountry 54214]).

The Zyoptics lenses are all sold under the brand name Mitakon at Amazon, Amazon DE and Amazon UK.

Imaging Resource interviewed three Sony managers

1. We always listen to customers feedback
2. Only few customers asked for a resolution increase. That’s why the A7rIII still has the same Megapixel number as the A7rII: “yes, some customers want even higher megapixels. But a majority of customers requested different areas of development such as longer battery life, for instance or faster autofocus, or even the picture quality in low-light conditions. So considering that kind of feedback, we decided which way we should go for the third generation, based upon the customers of our Alpha 7R-series.“
3. Technology development moves faster than expected so customers sometimes don’t ask for certain things sony can actually do
4. Unlike the A9 the A7 series is made for a wider range of customers (male, female, young, senior). And for that range body size matters.That’s why the A7rIII kept the same light size/weight.
5. Sony did decide to NOT adopt XQD cards because accessibility of those cards is still limited

Overall this is an interesting interview I recommend you to read in full!
