Sirui 50mm F1.8 1.33x hands-on by Dpreview

Share

Dpreview posted a first hands-on of this very exciting niche lens:

The a7R IV may not be the ideal Sony camera for shooting all types of video, but it does include an APS-C/Super 35 crop mode, which is where it produces its best quality 4K video. This cropping might be a bug bear for some videographers, but it makes the camera a good match for this lens. It’s possible to use crop mode with FHD resolution as well, but since the camera produces better FHD footage in full sensor mode, we’d recommend sticking with 4K.

However, to see the footage de-squeezed live it’s necessary to use an external monitor with that capability since the feature isn’t built into the camera.

To be announced on April 20: PXW-FX6 with a new H265 codec?

Share

As you know next week on April 20 at 9:00am PST / 12:00 EST there will be a new Sony product announcement. I do not expect any A7 camera news. There should be some info about the new Cine E-mount lenses launched last year (see image on top) and maybe a new FX6 E-mount camcorder. Latest I got from a new source says this:

“PXW-FX6 to be announced next week with a new H265 codec.
No A7sIII or A7iv”

No idea yet it this info is correct. Drop me a message if yo can confirm it. Thanks!
