New video demo of the brand new Nikon F to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter (by Steel Chen)

Share

Steel Chen is working hard to further improve the new Nikon F to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter. As a reminder: This is not the Commlite adapter! It’s a new project which seems to work much better than the Commlite version.

Steel just sent me the link to his latest video shot on the A7rII with the [shoplink 43517 ebay]Nikkor 70-200 G I lens[/shoplink]. It really looks very promising. As usual feel free to add questions on the comment section. Steel will answer all your questions!

A7rm2 versus future A7rm3…find the difference :)

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2015-12-11 um 16.14.46

Franke Sanders (SonyAlphaForum) shared one single proposal for the new A7rm3. You may have found it by now on the picture above?
Here is what he writes:

From my point of view it would be helpful to have a joystick button at the place where now the AF/MF button is. For me this would be the right place where my thumb sits. I could use it to move the autofocus point, scrolling through pictures,….What do you think?

New Bandpro Cine lenses can be adpated to Sony E-mount.

Share

We got three new Cine lenses from Band Pro. Those are PL mount lenses that can be adapted to fit on Sony E-mount cameras. Here is the full press text:

B/E President, Klaus Eckerl and Band Pro President & CEO, Amnon Band unveiled a new line of professional APO Macro FF lenses at Band Pro’s One World Open House event on December 10th, 2015.
The new macro lenses were designed to address the industry-wide movement toward larger format sensors (including RED Weapon 6K and 8K, Sony A7, and ARRI ALEXA 65 cameras). These larger sensors deliver a convincing film-look and interesting bokeh due to their very shallow depth of field, and require lenses that can cover their larger camera sensor sizes.
The new APO Macro FF lens family consists of 3 focal lengths: 100mm, 150mm, and 180mm. The lenses feature full frame (24mm x 36mm) coverage, 1:1 magnification, consistent T-stop T2.9, as well as robust and durable cine mechanics. Based in Germany, IB/E is a globally respected optics manufacturer known for cutting edge expanders, adapters, and lenses, including the new Arri 65 lenses.
APO Macro FF lenses will be available Summer 2016.
Amnon noted at the event: “Today’s announcement is a continuation of what Band Pro has always done. From the early days of Zeiss DigiPrimes, to our involvement with the Leica Summilux-C project, to the new IB/E Macro FF lenses, Band Pro has always lead the way for embracing new technologies.”

To preorder the new APO Macro FF lens set, or for more information, please contact Band Pro at 1-888-BAND-PRO or by emailing sales@bandpro.com .
