Based on his long experience Tony Northrup is guessing what’s coming next from the big companies (Sony, Canon and Nikon). He does believe Sony will actually release two different A9 models at Photokina. Those would be the specs:

You get both the [shoplink 45757 ebay]Black (Click here)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 45758 ebay]Silver (Click here)[/shoplink] Rokinon 12mm lens for $318. This is a manual focusing but high quality prime lens. We really don’t have too many of those “pure APS-C” prime lenses or the A6300.
And the brand new Lexar cards already got a major nice price drop and is a top seller at Amazon US (Click here)

A little background on me, and my style of shooting:
I love photographing beauty (close portraits), and I like the drama that comes with a narrow depth-of-field (DOF). The type of lens required to attain these two things falls in the 75-90mm range, and must be relatively fast (f1.8 or faster).
I love the [shoplink 47718]Sony a7R II[/shoplink] because I can adapt almost any lens ever made, and over this past year, I’ve given a good go at trying ALL of them ;)
All of the images below were shot wide open.
The first portrait lens I had for the a7r II was an adapted [shoplink 48745]Canon 85mm f1.8[/shoplink] that my wife, Kelly Williams, gave to me. It rendered very beautiful images, but since it was adapted, the AF was slow, and it was very prone to purple fringing. Since I like to shoot backlit, this compounded both of these problems.
