Yuri: “I’m Yuri from Switzerland 17 year old. Last summer I discovered my fascination for astrophotography. For four months, I captured the beauty of night sky in Switzerland with the Sony a7s. The result of my journey is a six minute long time-lapse movie.
I hope you like it and I’ll be more than happy if you post it on your inspirational website!

Christopher: “http://yannickkhong.com/blog/2016/2/23/the-problem-with-modern-optics. I’ve followed and enjoyed your blog for the past year and as I’ve been working with my A7RII and a few sony lenses I’ve been struck by it’s lack of life and skinniness that just don’t feel as good as my previous cameras (other things I absolutely love about this camera though, I can handhold and film with a 200mm!). The above is a good take on how to look at what is a good lens vs just what the numbers say and something I find is a bit lacking in most discussion. Thought you’d enjoy it.”
