New review of the Zeiss 32mm f/1.8 on a NEX-7 from Matthew Durr.

William: “I think I sent this message to you the wrong way the first time. So, please forgive the double message. I just finished a short. “L.A. Audition” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-tOHA285Ec. It was shot on a Sony NEX 5R. The opening shot was shot with the Sony SEL1018 lens.”

Justin: “Hey, loving the site as always! You may remember me from earlier, when I posted a user report on the RX1 (http://thegoldensieve.com/sony-rx1-a-user-report/). I wanted to drop you a line because I just used the RX1 extensively to shoot a wedding and capture all the little detail shots. I have a post online now where you can see some of these images. Enjoy! http://thegoldensieve.com/the-wedding-photographers-sony-rx1/”

Troy Gleason: “Shot entirely on a Sony A99! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBADNhzJHA”

Romeo: “I have a good series of photos that enhances the Sony Nex-7 and manual lenses. The photos are also the right size to appreciate good. The lens Konica M-Hexanon 90mm f/2.8 is cheap but high quality. There is also the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar 24mm f/1.8, backlight is fabulous. romeocolombo.com”

David: “I recently bought DNA Software’s a99 plugin for Lightroom 5. It lets me shoot tethered in Lightroom like the other supported camera’s, and it includes an iPad app that connects Wi-Fi too. I wrote a review on my blog I hope you can share with the other Sony users. http://www.parallax-effect.ca/2013/06/28/tethering-sony-a99-lightroom-5-dna-software/“

DxOmark (Click here) already posted the full test of the new RX100MII. And indeed the camera manages to have score a 20% better high ISO result. And obviously the competition cannot match the RX100/RX100MII quality. DxO writes:

Until such time that rivals adopt the Sony unit, or something similar (like the sensors found in the Nikon 1 cameras), it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to compete on level terms. For the moment at least, the highly pocketable Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100 and the new Mk II version have no real equal.
