Brian: “The photographic artist, Carol Roullard, will be one of the featured artists at the HUD Gallery in Ventura, California. All her images were taken with a Sony A77 camera mounted on a microscope. She will display three large, 24” by 36” aluminum prints and several smaller pieces of her Micro-Crystal fine art photography. Her images are unique recordings of the minute crystals she grows and illuminates with polarized light. After years of experimentation, Ms. Roullard found that the Sony cameras were the best interchangeable lens cameras for recording high-resolution images of minute crystals. She has co-authored four Sony camera books and is currently working on her fifth book on the Sony a7 II camera. Examples of her work can be seen by visiting her web site www.CarolRoullardArt.com.
The show starts on Friday, June 5th with the show reception from 6-10pm and runs through the end of the month. For those who will be in Southern California during June, the HUD Gallery is at 1793 East Main Street Ventura, California 93001.  Check out their website for more information: http://www.dabart.me/the-hud/”

Sony Store US (Click here) is still a full mess: The A6000 and the A7r disappeared from the site. The A77II and A3000 listed but with preorder option deactivated. It may be that they are completely redoing the site before the next product announcement in mid June.

And most of the orders you placed to buy the $199 A7r got canceled. One of our readers just got this from Sony:

Dear Mxxxx,
We have canceled your order/item(s) due to item unavailability.
On occasion, popular items sell out before we can fulfill all orders. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience.

But some of the SAR readers were damn lucky and got the A7r for $199. Here is a screenshot from one of our readers:

Kai tested the new Mitakon ZY Optics 85mm f/1.2 and compared it versus the Canon 85mm f/1.2L lens:

The E-mount Mitakon 85mm f/1.2 lens can be ordered at BHphoto too (Click here) and [shoplink 35908 ebay]Asian eBays sellers[/shoplink].

Our reader Jason Chau spotted that amazing Action Camera setting done with the Sony A7 (A7II?). This is the first time ever I see a Full Frame camera used as a [shoplink 36890 ebay]helmet action cam[/shoplink]! Sell your GoPro guys, buy the Sony A7! :)

I can’t wait to see the footage he took with that cybernetic helmet!
