Andreas: “My name is Andreas Fernbrant and I’m a photographer and filmmaker from Sweden. A couple of hours ago I released my second time-lapse film from a small town in Southern Sweden. The first one is viewed over 82.000 times form almost every country in the world. My new one focuses on people in the city and I hope it will be the same success as the first one. What sets this apart is that this time-lapse video was entirely done on Sony A7s. Mostly I used the FE35 and FE55 and there are some shots in the time-lapse that wouldn’t be possible without the electronic (silent) shutter of the A7s, like the scenes in the concert hall or the theatre. It took me roughly 6 months to make and contains 6600 still images (in total over 15.000 images was shot) and roughly around 800 hours of work.

Zeiss 16-35mm FE gets DxOmarked: Best f/4.0 wide angle zoom on market. French reviewer says “est impressionnant” :)

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2014-11-07 um 10.18.31

The new Zeiss 16-35mm FE lens got tested at DxOmark (Click here). And it scored the best result among the three f/4.0 wide angle zoom tested by DxOmark. It beats by a hair the Nikon 16-35mm f/4.0 lens. The only real “cons” of the lens is that it’s also the slightly more expensive of the three. But we can live with that or not? As long as results are that good!

Also Focus Numerique (translation here) tested the lens and said “Le 16-35 mm f/4 de Sony est impressionnant“. I think it’s clear for everyone what it means :)

One more thing: Worldwide shipment officially started today at Sony Canada and Amazon Japan. Check the full shipment date info here:
USA/Canada  at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Sony Store US, Sony Canada.
Europe at Sony DE, UK, ES, IT, FR, CH, AT, NL, BE, FI, SE, NO, PT.

Small $5 discount on the new Meike A7 grip if you buy it through SAR.

The company making the new MeikeA7/r/s vertical grip contacted me to offer a small $5 discount for all SAR readers. This is how it works: Click on that link eachshot.com and you will get automatically the $4,77 discount. If for some weird reason this doesn’t work just add the discount code “SAR!40160” at checkout! The company told me shipping is free! Reminder: You can also buy the Meike grip on Amazon US (Click here), [shoplink 30140 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] and Alibabaexpress (Click here). But the discount code doesn’t work there :)
