Fototesty: “A little experiment? See how much you will gain if the image from Sony a7R II downsize the image to the 24 MPix. For high iso – remove the noise in RAW, sharpen slightly and enjoy the results:

Lensmate just released their new A6300 Thumb Grip which you can now buy at Amazon US (Click here).

Description:

• We designed the Lensmate Sony a6300 Folding Thumbrest to allow easy access to all of the buttons, and to quickly get out of the way when you need to get to the top dials. A light push with the thumb swings the rest 40° out from the camera and a light action ball detent keeps the Thumbrest in the opened or closed position. Weight 9 grams or 1/3 of an ounce. Available in black.
• The sculpted thumbrest relaxes your grip on the camera, reduces camera shake and allows slower shutter speeds. Makes one handed operation easier and prevents unintentional button presses.
• Camera specific design retains access to all controls and does not effect operation of built in flash or articulated LCD screen.
• Integrated silicone insert provides both thumb grip and bumper between the rest and camera body and the silicone insert in the hot shoe tab provides resistance to unintentional ejection. Machined out of solid 6061 Aluminum rod, then bead blasted for texture and anodized for a tough finish.
• We suggest using the Lolumina Mini stick on soft release button with the Lensmate a6300 Thumbrest for a more relaxed and ergonomic index finger position (with the finger draped over the button, usually not using the finger tip). See our other listings.

One more thing the A6000 also got a Silver version of the Lensmate Thimb Grip (Click here).

Mario: “This week I have released a new film called “Senna vs Brundle.” The film looks at the young Ayrton Senna who later became a triple world champion in Formula 1 and one of the most iconic sportsmen. It is set around the British Formula 3 season in 1983 in which Ayrton and Martin Brundle had a fearsome fight for the title. That season made Ayrton the man we later saw in Formula 1 and also propelled Martin directly into Formula 1 with the iconic Tyrell team. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/svsb
The interesting thing for you is that the 14 interviews the film contains and the contemporary footage of the racing car were filmed on 2 Sony A7s, later also an A7rII and 55mm 1.4 lenses. Recording was in 4k ProResHQ on an Atomos Shogun. You can see some pictures at senna-vs-brundle.com in the ‘making of’ section. He film is very popular with the racing community and has been a major topic on twitter in the last days.“

We typically repair camcorders like the PMW series, but since the beginning of this year, we have been repairing Sony A7 series cameras for their local customers.
