To Bloggers:
Sorry to bother our normal SAR readers with that post. But lately a really impressive amount of sites is constantly re-posting my news without mentioning my site as source of the information. And often they do spam forums and social networks and do “sell the news” as they would have found it by their own.
I do work hard to get information in advance and I would appreciate if bloggers finding the news through my site would kindly link me back. For example you could write: “found via SonyAlphaRumors.com“.

Keep in mind that often sites do also reuse my own created image compositions, my text or even “SAR tagged” links. So it’s easy to track back SAR as source :)

The same rule also applies for me. I do write over 1,000 posts per year and sometimes it happens that I mistakenly link to the wrong original source. If that happens please send me an email at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com and I will fix this.

Thanks You all for your understanding. And now back to a nice rumor coming soon… ;)

Our friends on DearSusan have just published a free lens testing tutorial. It covers all the main lens aberrations and faults such as 3 types of chromatic aberration, vignetting, astigmatism, field curvature, coma, focus shift, focus breathing, distortion, spherical aberration … and tells you how to test your lenses yourself very simply. So you can buy lenses and be certain you are getting a really good deal, not buying a lemon. All the test photographs provided are made with Sony A7 cameras. Perfect before the new lens release.

I was on my way to photo shoot and just dropped in a centre of differently-abled for twenty minutes and shot few clips and images of an inspiring differently abled girl. I hope that she sees herself open to endless possibilities in the future.”
