Evan: “New BTS video of a shoot I did with Ramona from Housewives of NYC. Aired on Fashion One channel. I used my Sony a7RII, Sony 35mm Distagon and Sony 90mm macro. https://youtu.be/i7sa5GIA7ds”

Ryan: “Not a rumor! I thought I’d pass on a new 2 minute short I filmed along Ireland’s largest cliff face, populated by a great many sheep. It’s got a mix of ground footage filmed with a Sony A7Rii and Nikon lenses, as well as a DJI Phantom 3 Pro. Did I mention the cute sheep?
Here’s the link and synopsis, cheers!: http://vimeo.com/173424368
County Donegal in Ireland is home to Slieve League, the tallest cliffs in the country – almost three times the size of the Cliffs of Moher, made famous in the Harry Potter films.
Filmed in 4K with a mix of aerial and ground photography, ‘Slieve League, Ireland’ captures the breathtaking sight of the cliffs – just be prepared to share the view with the myriad sheep that call Slieve League their home.“

On Facebook Rokinon announces that it will ship the new 50mm f/1.4 FE autofocus lens in August. And it will cost “around $699” (so they say).

In the comment system Rokinon also said the 14mm f/2.8 FE autofocus lens is estimated to ship in October.
