PRESS RELEASE

NEW: THE SLR Magic CINE 50mm F1.1

Hong Kong, China (November 17, 2015) – SLR Magic begins it’s FE-mount lineup with the SLR Magic CINE 50mm F1.1 standard angle lens. The product will be officially introduced during upcoming InterBEE 2015 fair in Tokyo.

Hans: “Today I tried the Techart EOS-Nex III (Falcon lite) connecting A7R Mark II and Canon EF 500/4 Mark II and AF settings. Was happy about how it works. Some details in the album on Flickr. The adapter seems not perfect, but it is working fine, the best I ever had. www.flickr.com/photos/autorenphotographie/albums/72157660415977290”

David: “Just wanted to share some of my recent photography from my A7 and a Canon FL 55/1.2 lens I picked up not long ago. This old Canon is probably the most affordable 1.2 lens out there but I have found my copy to be an excellent performer. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to shoot fast, standard primes wide open as I do.

Benjamin: “I don’t know if this something you would be interested in posting or not but I recently shot a 2 min film about the over use of connectivity through devices.
It’s a film I  shot to enter into the Sony competition to win an FS5. I shot majority of the film on the a7s and it features some pretty sweet low light scenes.  https://youtu.be/JzKwZ2Nt1cQ”

The Video Mode: “We’ve just interviewed Daniel Kleinman. He is the man responsible for the opening credits of the recent Bond films (all but one since Golden Eye), including the latest, SPECTRE. He also shot the current Sony ‘Made For Bond’ TV advert, which features the RX100 IV and Naomie Harris as Moneypenny.
Anyway, we have interviewed him about how he shot the commercial and also a little bit about why he used the Sony F65 to shoot it with (mechanical shutter, great skin tones and footage looks close to film).

Hyatt: “Alec Soth wants to repurpose a used RV to create an art school on wheels based in Minneapolis, MN, that pairs artists with teens to reshape how art is taught. Along with Soth, local artists, teachers, and other mentors will show teens how they can venture out into the world and creatively engage with the people and places around them. In each area they visit, the group will create public pop-up events such as slideshows of the students’ work projected on the side of the RV, demonstrating how the teens can give back to their communities through storytelling. Learn more about the project here, and access images for the project here.“

Robbert: “This may be interesting to some of the readers of sonyalpharumors. Yesterday I did my first production combining footage from the A7RII and the DJI Inspire 1 Pro (X5). I recorded with the sony in Super 35mm mode with a 24mm E-mount lens in AF mode on a DJI Ronin M. Shot in the Cine2 profile and it worked beautifully together with the footage from the drone.
All worked great and we had a blast making my first video using aerial footage. Here is the link to the video: https://vimeo.com/143479222”

Jonathan: “My visit to Turkey was just a day long, walking the streets in a caffeine-fuelled haze. But I’m glad I visited, just barely scratching the surface of the thankfully peaceful side of a troubled country. Turkey Album.
Russia is also troubled, of course, but there were no indications in St. Petersburg, where I spent a week with my friend Vladimir, who flew up from the Siberian city Ekaterinburg, Russia’s third-largest.  The architecture and history of St. Petersburg were fascinating. North America has nothing comparable.  The subway systems in St. Petersburg and Moscow are also impressive.  People move in a smooth, uninterrupted laminar flow.  I wish we had such an efficient and highly-used system in Los Angeles.  But what really left an impression on me was Russia’s character.  Once you get past the requisite public frowns, people are truly warm and the culture is welcoming.  I even began to enjoy salted frozen pig’s fat accompanied by vodka and sometimes dried horse meat.  On my way to Mongolia, I made the most of my 9-hour Moscow layover by visiting Red Square and the Kremlin. Russia Album.
Mongolia represented Matt’s and my third trip together, bringing travelers from around the world.  We had a full tour with 12 people from 5 continents, and in spite of some weather woes (an early snow in the Gobi, brutally windy and dusty conditions at the Eagle Festival in the far west, a cancelled return flight to Ulaanbaatar), everybody held up remarkably well.  Unfortunately, my brand new camera did not, and I just sent it in for repair.  I hope to get it back before I head to the Amazon in two weeks to Valle de Candamo, known as the “Last Jungle without People.”
