How well does the $9,000 Canon 500mm f/4.0 lens work on the new Sony A9? Well, check out this video from Paul Bunyard (first posted on our A9 facebook group). Note that he used the Sigma MC-11 adapter which officially doesn’t even support the Canon lens!

(SR3) Sony A7III launch rumored to be postponed from June to November

Share

a7ii
Image above shows the A7II with Gariz case

I got this info from two sources. One of the sources is also a trusted source who shared previously correct info about the A6500 and the A9 frame rate. He told me this about the new A7III:

a7III will be sold in November not in June. Nothing about specs. Sorry.

I ranked this rumor SR3 only because I am awaiting multiple confirmations for the postponement. And we don’t know the reason for the delay.

We have our own Facebook camera groups and pages you can join to discuss the upcoming new cameras in detail:
Sony A9 group and Sony A9 page.
Sony A7rIII group and Sony A7rIII page
Sony A7sIII group and Sony A7sIII page
Sony A7III group and Sony A7sIII page
Note: In groups you can post your own stuff like images, news and questions. While on pages you will read the specific camera news from SAR.

Stay tuned on SAR and subscribe the newsletter to get info when it matters:
