Juha: This video was shot mostly on Sony A7RII with 55mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/2.8 Sony Zeiss. A few shots were filmed on A7s with Sony Zeiss 24-70 f/4. It was entirely shot in S – Log 2 mostly at 60 fps some shots were filmed at 120 fps and scaled up. I edited it in Premiere CC and used D-Luts and Lumetri for Grading.
It is really convenient using these type of compact but capable cameras for a shoot like this – it was all shot handheld. Our intention was to make a Music video which is more like a short film, as the music is a non album track and rather a sound collage.

Tell Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki what FE lens they should release first!

sigma

As you know Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki confirmed they are working on a new range of Sigma FF E-mount lenses. I have to say I have my highest respect for CEO Kazuto Yamaki and I thought it would be kind from SAR readers to just give them a little help by sharing our special wish list.

Based on Sigmas current FF lens lineup I made a list of possible FE lenses. Note that this would be newly redesigned lenses and not just a copy of current DSLR lenses with E-mount. Also think twice before you choose a lens: Be aware that “cool” lenses will cost!

Choose the three FE lenses Sigma should make as first:

Reminder: Lensvid interviewed Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki. At minute 3.45 you can hear him confirm that they “have a plan to do FE lenses”.
