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

(SR5) Sony will announce a new “budget” 85mm FE lens in 2017

Ok we got our first SR5 rumors of the year (highly reliable source and 90% chance the information is correct). To not miss more of those rumors subscribe our RSS feed, join us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

This is the info I got from a reliable source: Sony will launch a new “budget” 85mm FE lens in 2017. The source didn’t unveil the aperture of the lens. He only said it will be a companion for the 50mm f/1.8 ([shopcountry 54647]). I guess this one will have an f/1.8 aperture too.

The two FE lenses that are coming in 2017 for sure are:

1) 16-35mm f/2.8 GM FE
2) 85mm f/1.8 FE (aperture is unconfirmed but I think almost certainly right)

And for sure there will be many more new FE lenses in 2017 (including telephoto lenses). I hope to get info about those soon…

This info has been posted on SonyAlphaRumors first. Please do not repost without credit. Thanks :)
