Photoshoot and Beyond
Here is a bit of interesting news, a letter that Sigma distributors just sent to their retailers tells that Sigma is stopping to make some of the Sony mount Sigma lenses. A reliable source within the industry tells us that Sony is actually quite a smal…
When the compact camera market was spiraling out of control toward rock bottom, Sony unveiled a premium pocket camera that was more expensive than the rest of the competition. While Canon, Nikon, Olympus and the rest were struggling to unload pocket cameras for $100 or less, the Sony RX100 rose from the ashes of a […]
Sony has unveiled the new A6500 mirrorless camera, which features 24.2MP APS-C sensor with 5-axis image stabilization and 4K video capture. At first blush, the sheer amount of tech in this compact mirrorless camera seems remarkable. Still shooters get an improved 4D focus system with 425 phase-detect AF points and a touchscreen interface to select […]
Sony’s much anticipated A6300 was finally released in March this year. An eagerly awaited update to 2014’s A6000. Now, a mere 8 months later, Sony have announced the new Alpha A6500 at a Sony event in NYC. It contains a 24MP APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor and like its predecessor shoots 4K video. Let’s hope it doesn’t […]

Samyang brought autofocus into their range of lenses not too long ago with two new Sony E mount lenses. The 14mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.4. Now, in a recent interview with Focus Numerique, Samyang head of product planning, Jeong Min Shin says that more are …
If there is one show where the big guns spend a ton of money on it is probably Photokina. We went to the showgrounds a day earlier so we can share how the thing looks from the inside. All the companies put up some huge booths. And size does matter, but…
Zeiss have announced a new telephoto lens in their Loxia lineup for Sony full frame cameras. The new lens is the Zeiss Loxia 2.4/85. Adding to the Loxia family that includes the 21mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2 and 50mm f/2, the new 85mm f/2.4 rounds off the selection quite nicely. For now, anyway. I still think they […]

What is it with all these “world’s firsts” lately? It almost seems like companies are trying to outdo each other for an ego stroke, no matter how ludicrous their announcement may be. Well, now, it’s Laowa’s turn. Again. The first new lens is the 7.5mm f/2 for Micro Four Thirds cameras, the widest f/2 lens ever designed […]

Sony was always a weird player in the action cam arena. While everyone was doing GoPro like cameras (aside contour, maybe), they were sticking to their weird camcorder design. But now it seems that their different form factor is also holding some best in market features. Most notably is stabilized 4K recording. Sony released two new […]
