On the video above Chris Niccolls teaches you how to shoot macros. And he is using the superb Sony 90mm FE macro lens for his tutorial. I know Sony makes a lot of buzz around their GM and Zeiss lenses. But the Sony 90mm FE is a real gem of the current E-mount lens line!

Allen: “Hello, I just returned from Dubai over the weekend and while at the Dubai mall in the large Sony store I happened to look at the A mount lenses and was told that all of these were half off. I saw a list of just about all of them with the 50% notation on the list. I then purchases the 135 2.8 T4.5 for US, $747! I couldn’t pass that deal up. The salesman was very helpful and asked if he could sell me any other lenses. These were still in sealed boxes and he had 4-5 of each of them, along with others that were store demos for even less. Mine was sealed and in perfect condition and I am a very happy customer of that store. Just wanted you and your followers to know that sale just in case they were in the area.”
Joan: “I’m an independant film maker. I just wanted to share the last music video I’ve made, shot on sony a7s with kowa anamorphic lenses. I hope you like it, and maybe post it on your wall, in order to show how much fun you can have with this camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hflu2RuBSP4“

Sony Japan announced a new action camera.
And more importantly Sony Japan also released an official statement to warn about using the Sony hack as this is not officially supported by Sony. They don’t mention the exact hack name. But I guess they mean the hack software news we posted in April (read here) and the new STGuploader. If something goes wrong because of those kind of hacks Sony will not cover it with their warranty!
