Sony A7R II Hands-On Review Part 2 by TheCameraStoreTV.

Share

Jordan and Chris posted their second part of the Sony A7rII review. And that’s the only review where I do agree to 100% to everything they say positive and negative about the camera. The A7rII is definitely a great camera but it has some inconsistencies and quirks that still will make Canon/Nikon PRO’s not jump over to the Sony system. I do hope Sony listen to those two guys to fix all these annoying limitations for their next generation A7 and the first generation A9 cameras!

A7rII store list:
In USA: at Amazon, BHphoto, AdoramaSonyStore US, FocusCamera, Uniquephoto.
In Europe at Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Wex UK and ParkCameras.
In Asia at Digitalrev, CameraPro.

This is the smartest and coolest Aluminum lens hood for your Zeiss 35mm and 55mm FE lens!

Share

This is the sexiest and also the smartest lens hood you can buy for you 35mm and 55mm Zeiss FE lenses. The Korean company Lim’s designed them to be completely retractable. This makes it possible to carry it on lens instead of having it somewhere loose in your bag. You can see the detailed lens description and more pictures on those eBay links:
