Evan:I did a yacht shoot for Resident Magazine. I discuss the equipment I used for the first 4 min 23 seconds of the video, such as the Sony a7RII with the Sony 24-70mm GM lens.. Plus the Phottix Indra 500 lights controlled by the brand new Phottix Odin II for Sony.
Hope you enjoy the video: https://youtu.be/ld4YjP7GYUE

Sony A7rII-A7r-A7II-A7 cameras no more available at Amazon USA and European stores!

A7rII

After Euroepan stores also the world’s biggest online store sold out their entire Sony A7 camera Stock with the exception of the A7sII. Check out:
1-2 months shipment time for the A7rII
1-2 months shipment time for the A7II
1-2 months shipment time for the A7r
1-2 months shipment time for the A7s
1-2 months shipment time for the A7

And also the A6300 kit version will ship in 1-2 months only.

Why does this news matter for the future camera releases? it’s hard to imagine Sony announcing and shipping any future Sony A9, A99II or A7m3 camera soon. Those camera are more likely to ship in early 2017 instead :(

In a previous report I told you that European stores have the same Stock issue. They got told by Sony that a new Sony A7 camera Stock is expected to arrive in September only.

Next strange combo: 2000mm Nikkor with an NEX-7 attached.

SAR reader Christine A. sent me that picture of her Sony NEX-7 attached on the [shoplink 33180 ebay]2000mm Nikkor[/shoplink]. That lens sells for around $20,000 on [shoplink 33180 ebay]eBay (see here)[/shoplink]. Only 300 of these catadioptric lenses have been built by Nikon!

I asked Christine if she could send me some image samples taken with the combo but the answer was:

I don’t have any photos taken with it, as it weights 27.5 kilos, including the gimbal and I can’t find anything to mount it on!

Anonymous:Here is a video that was mostly shot with the A7SII, Phantom and a little FS5. I think that your viewers may like to watch it. https://youtu.be/RSFDnKhi50I

Fred: “I am doing a rolling review for the new FE 50/1.4 ZA lens. Here is the link:

It’s a stunning lens but my tests show how impressive the smaller FE 55/1.8 still is. :)
Here are my preliminary conclusions:
