24Apr Smallrig Sony a7s II $68 cage Review
If you’ve been a DSLR or Mirrorless shooter for any length of time, camera cages are a way of life. Over the years, I’ve wondered between huge bulky 15mm rail setups and shoulder mount rigs, but in the last 5 years or so I’ve settled into a minimalist approach to camera rigs. That’s why Smallrig has […]
29Mar Sony FE 50mm f1.8 anounced
Meet the Sony 50mm f1.8 full frame lens, one of the first affordable full frame primes for the E-mount lineup. Priced at $248, the 50mm f1.8 is still substantially more expensive than the competition from Canon’s 50mm f1.8. Still, I’m glad to see Sony has finally started to address the lack of mid range lenses in it’s full […]
25Mar Minolta 85mm f1.4 Sony a7s II lens review
If you are looking to save a little bit of money on glass for your Sony a7s or a7s II body, you always have the option of buying older A-mount or Minolta glass. After all, Sony’s A-mount was purchased from Minolta years ago, which means all you really need is the proper adapter. In this […]
23Mar Traded in my 5d mark III for a Sony A7s II
I’ve been shooting on the Canon 5d mark III for about 4 years now and Canon bodies in general for almost seven years.

17Mar Smallrig NATO protective rails.
Still kind of working on my Smallrig layout and I decided to go with one of their “Safety rails” for the top handle. The little quick release spring numb makes me feel a little safer about handing it off to others and prevents the top handle from sliding completely if I bump the thumbscrew. The Safety rail is […]
04Mar Smallrig Sony a7s custom camera cage
I’ve been looking for a small mounting frame for the Sony a7s and a few of you recommended I check out Smallrig’s offering. Smallrig sells a lot of bits and pieces so it can be a little confusing when you are trying to figure out what parts you need/want for a rig. It took me a little […]
02Mar Canon 5d mark III price drop, 5d mark IV on the way?
Canon announced official $300 price cuts on retail 5d mark III and Canon 6d bodies over the weekend and it seems to fall in line with the extremely low 5d mark III ebay prices we’ve been seeing over the last few weeks.
