Stefan:

I would like to share a link to one of my short cinematic mountain videos, mostly taken with the Sony A7SIII (and Sony 55mm FE, 35mm 1.8 FE, Sony 24-105mm and Tamron 17-28mm 2.8) and in the wonderful Dolomites (Seceda, Lago di Braies). So I thought the content might be interesting for you or others. Sorry for the shameless self- promotion, but you might like the Video. I also composed the soundtrack. https://youtu.be/78azWJmDFRE

All that stuff should be announced soon: Sony has registered three cameras, one lens and one mic

Share

With Covid-19 and the factory fire the Sony time line may have been messed up. But we have five products officially registered in Asia that we should get within the next 1-2 months:

  1. A new camera with the code “WW186333” (no 5Ghx Wifi which suggests this might be an RX camera or entry level camcorder)
  2. A second new camera with the code “WW728473”
  3. A third new camera with the code “WW111327”
  4. New “35mm f/1.4 GM” lens
  5. Sony also registered a new wireless microphone

January-February should be exciting with likely the A9x (name uncertain) being the first new E-mount camera to be announced. Only after that one we will get the A7IV.

7Artisans 50mm f/1.05 FE lens review by Marc Alhadeff: “A very nice artistic lens to discover the world of F1.0 lenses at reasonable price”

Share

 

The new Full Frame lens is now in Stock at Amazon US, Amazon DE, Amazon UK.

Marc Alhadeff from Sonyalpha.blog tested the new 7Artisans 50mm f/1.05 FE lens:

The 7 Artisans 50mm F1.05 (486$) full frame manual lens has vocation to be an affordable ultra fast aperture lens. It deliver very beautiful portraits with a very nice and dreamy atmosphere. Strong points are the background blur, bokeh balls , very good and natural color rendering & good contrast. Sharpness is only average on a 61Mpix but will be perfectly ok on a 24Mpix camera.

The lens is very well built and its ergonomics are very good for manual focusing. Compared to the Mitakon 50mm F0.95 – Dark Knight (800 euros) the lens is more compact and less heavy.

  • The Mitakon is definitively sharper both in the centre and in the corners but its color rendering is more vintage , contrast is less good and the bokeh balls are more polygonal than rounded as of F1.4
  • The 7Artisans is globally less sharp but has a better color rendering , bokeh balls , and better contrast

The choice will depend on which criteria is more important for you. A very nice artistic lens to discover the world of F1.0 lenses at reasonable price
