Star photographer Neil Leifer is now officially a Sony Artisan

The famous Muhammad Ali photo taken by Neil Leifer

World famous photographer Neil Leifer is now officially a Sony Artisan. This is the reason why he switched over to Sony:

The first thing that came to mind was the Sony weighed half of what my Nikon weighed. I looked through the camera, and I noticed the incredible quality of the Sony Zeiss lenses. Now, I had Zeiss lenses on my Leica’s years ago so I know how good they are.
I decided I really wanted to try it out, so I got in touch with Sony, sourced a loaner camera, tested it while shooting boxing and completely fell in love with it! The weight and the quality of the photography…I thought, this is definitely the way of the future. I know a good camera when I have one in my hands.

Now I want to hear the Nikon and Canon folks saying Sony isn’t for PRO… :)
