Wow wow wow! Stop what you’re doing, you got to watch this! Holy hell, this is good. The filmmaker, Ryan J Thompson, is only 22 years old, too! Incredible work, especially the VFX.
And you know what he shot it with? Sony a7S with Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 lens and the Samyang FE 50mm f1.4 lens!!

James: “Hey, I have been doing some street portraiture in Seattle recently, I am currently using the a850 and the Sony G 35/1.4 as well as the Minolta D G 85/1.4, my night shots are often taken @ f1.4 at around 1/15th of a second (IBIS Rocks), I am getting some truly beautiful images of people and thought other SAR readers around the globe would like to see my work here in Seattle, WA, USA.

Pmgongpal modified the Sony A7r into a “Contax” version. I really like it! And I am sure you are curious to know what lens is fitted on the camera: The [shoplink 41386 ebay]Hexanon 50/1.2 (see them on eBay)[/shoplink].
Lovely combo! Now I want Sony to give us a Silver A7 version too :)

The new Sony A68 A-mount camera will be displayed by Sony at Salon de la Photo in Paris (Nov 5-9). And a trusted source also told me shipment is scheduled for early next year. Also: PDAF works down to -2 EV.
And a hot hint: There may be something “else” coming shortly AFTER the A68 announcement…
