Christopher Engell sent me this:

Hello Andrea, I am a small company that for the last 1 1/2 years have been designing and testing some very unique products, I have been selling the worlds first soft rubber Eyecup for both of the Sony A7/A7R/A7S series and the newer A7II/A7RII/A7SII/A77MII cameras.

Since I am a small company and would like you to post letting other Sony users about what I have for the Sony cameras, all of my products came from my need to improve and enhance the usage of the small Sony cameras and my first problem was with having large fingers and wearing gloves when it was below zero and taking pictures also in the night for Astrophotography was using the small Sony buttons and so I design my Button Enhancers to help when working with the small buttons. I also designed my Lens Release Mount & Lens Mounting Button Enhancer System and this allows me to release and mount any lens or Ext tube or the Samyang & Rokinon lenses are very hard to mount in low or in the dark.

Rubber Eyecup Soft for Sony A7II/A7RII/A7SII/A77MII Cameras GREAT Video Usage

Sony press conference on January 5! Finally some FE lens news?

Share

sony-ces-2016-640x324

Ubergizmo got that official invitation from Sony. On January 5 Sony will have a major press release with product announcement. As you can see on the image we have a Sony A7rII camera. So maybe maybe maybe we will finally get a clue about the new Sony FE lenses and A6xxx? Sony delayed the FE lens roadmap presentation this autumn. Probably because of roadmap changes to satisfy the customers demand of fast primes and fast zooms.

FE lens rumored so far are:
24-70mm f/2.8 G
85mm f/1.4 G
24-70mm GM (compact zoom)
new telephoto lens

found via Photorumors.

Unboxing the Sony A7SM2 | John Sison

Zeke:I just finished my latest project, a travel tripod for filmmakers. First of its kind. We shot the kickstarter video for it almost entirely with the a7s ii. But we did shoot parts with the RED Dragon and the DJI Phantom 3 Professional. The RED was shot RAW and we used LOG for the Sony and the drone.
I think you’ll be pretty excited to see how well they all cut together. Here’s that link:

Juan:I picked up an original Voigtlander Nokton 50mm F1.5 Leica thread mount lens at an estate sale 3 weeks ago. I got it professionally cleaned, lubed and calibrated. My intention is to do a complete comparison write-up on this rare lens comparing it to the new Voigtlander version that I have. While shooting pictures for my comparison I decided to film a short video of my daughter playing in the sand at the beach. Please excuse my jittery filming or lack of video skills. The video does show this unique lens look however. The lens has 15  (yes 15!) aperture blades and all was shot wide open at f1.5. Shot on my Sony A7S!

Brad:One of my recent goals/challenges as a filmmaker was to shoot a micro documentary with one camera and one prime lens. This is the result: https://vimeo.com/146829121
I filmed this with the Sony a7s II and Loxia 35/2. Other than the super-slow motion footage that was captured in 120 frames/sec, it was shot in 4K then downscaled to 1080p in FCPX.”

Howard:Capture One is great capture software but they do not have any loxia lens profiles. They do have batis profiles, by the way. I have asked them to make the loxia profiles, and they claimed that there is not enough people asking for them. I was hoping that, maybe, if some of your readers queried them, we might get some profiles.
As a professional photographer I really hate to switch to Lightroom, which does not have quite as powerful abilities.
