Renderings of an amazing APS-C E-mount lens range from Narek Avetisyan

Share

Narek Avetisyan shared this image on our SonyAlphaForum (don’t forget to join us). I know these are crazy specs. But for sure those APS-C E-mount lenses would make jump of the chair the entire photography community. I know Sony love us to WOW us with their features and products…so maybe they will take note of SAR readers reaction on this :)

P.S.: I would personally travel to Tokyo to say Thank You to Sony if they make me a 30mm f/1.0 and a 16-50mm f/2.0 OSS…

Laowa 12mm for E-mount unboxing video by José Ramos

Share

José Ramos sent me that video and message:

I used to think that unboxing videos were useless, but then I realized I often watch them to get a better notion of the actual physical item, and that’s why I decided to do this video.
By the way, even though I mentioned an “adapter” for E-mount, there is no physical adapter, the lens is one piece-only.
Sorry for the audio quality, but I used the GoPro built-in mic with the waterproof case and sorry for the video quality too, the GoPro doesn’t behave too well with less than bright light.
Cheers!

POLL: Choose the three Sony-Zeiss lenses you want in 2017

Share

I collected your FF E-mount lens suggestions and summed them up in this poll. The idea is to help Sony and Zeiss to get a general idea of what lens is requested by the SAR community. So please think before to choose…your vote matters!

Choose the three lenses Sony or Zeiss have to announce in 2017:

A couple of notes on the poll:

  • The list is ordered by focal length
  • To simplify the poll I removed all your OSS GM Batis Zeiss suggestions on the lens specs.
  • If you don’t find your perfect lens specs on the list just try to vote something close to it.
  • Be aware that faster lenses will be bulkier and more expensive.
  • The poll percentage shows how many of the overall voters voted that lens
