Dan: “I have tested the latest lens from sony (24-105mm f4 OSS), and it looks that it has a mecanical vigneting issue at 105mm f4 on the bokeh (not round but severely cut), illustrated by my pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/danm_cool/37629603784/”

Commlite announced a new much improved version of their Nikon F to Sony autofocus adapter. It is already in Stock at Amazon US, Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT and Amazon ES.

Those are the hardware improvements:

Time.com named the top 10 gadgets of the year. And the A7rIII has the honour to be in this list:

With notable improvements over its predecessor and a cheaper price than Sony’s A9 Alpha, the recently unveiled Sony Alpha A7R III stands to be one of the best mirrorless cameras ever made. It can shoot at twice the resolution of the A9 and has an autofocus that’s twice as fast as the A7R II, although it’s worth remembering that the A9 offers faster burst shooting. But the lower price and heightened performance are likely more than enough to impress pro and novice photographers alike.

And Chris&Jordan from TheCamerastoreTV just posted his A7rIII test:

I keep receiving links to new A7rIII tests. Here is the latest roundup:

Jim Kasson wrote a new Star Eating post. It’s clear the new A7rIII has the same issues as the A7rII (SAR note: Sony fix this!!!). Dpreview writes about this:

while a lot of stars still survive ‘Star Eater’, the a7R III continues the trend of noise reduction that dims or erases small stars at exposure longer than 3.2s. There’s some sense in this: Sony is ostensibly using this algorithm to avoid hot pixels that might otherwise riddle long exposures. But some nightscape and astro- photographers wish to be given a choice as to whether or not this form of noise reduction is applied. Alternatively, the noise reduction could (reversibly) be applied in post.
