Chad:A visitor to my blog asked a question about the image quality of one of my lenses on an A7, so I decided to do a quick wide open aperture test of several of my lenses (Contax, Helios, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Voigtlander) in the 40mm to 58mm range. I thought some readers of Sony Alpha Rumors might be interested in what I found during my decidedly unscientific set of tests.

Bad science and dissing the Sony A7 FE concept (David Kilpatrick)

David Kilpatrick on Photoclubalpha  argumented with founded tech background dismisses the groundless myth that a shorter mount to focal plane register (body thickness) cause any problems with lens design.

In fact the E-mount makes it possible to design slightly smaller medium to long zooms and very much smaller wide-angles, and normal sized standard lenses. Where there is potential for Sony native lenses to be small, there’s very limited potential for this with DSLRs.

Thanks David for this!

P.S.: Also Photochirp explained some facts around the E-mount system.

Hasselblad announces the H6D-100c with Sony 100 Megapixel sensor ($32,995)

Bildschirmfoto 2016-04-07 um 17.30.45

Hasselblad announced the new H6D-100c you can preorder now for $32,995 at BHphoto (Click here). The camera is around $18,000 cheaper than the Phase One. CEO Perry Oosting hinted at ePhotozine that this isn’t the big camera surprise he was talking in a previous interview. He says:

“The new H6Ds we are launching have the best in class ergonomics in terms of handling, but they aren’t the most portable.. Portability will be key – but how and which ways it will be portable is yet to be announced.”
