05Feb Minolta 50mm f1.4 lens on the Sony A7s
Still continuing to test Minolta glass on the Sony a7s. This time, I have the extremely affordable Minolta 50mm f1.4 lens. This tiny little 50mm lens generally sells on ebay for between $140 to $200 and it’s a great value for the price. Build quality is in the ballpark of the Canon 50mm f1.4, mostly plastic with […]
27Jan Sony LA-EA4 E to A-mount adapter Audio test
I finally got my hands on an A-mount lens to test with the Sony LA-EA4 adapter. The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 is a lens that’s been around for quite awhile and it’s been released for a number of camera mounts including, Sony (A-mount), Nikon, Canon, and Pentax. The Tamron 28-75mm won’t blow your mind, but I managed to pick […]
11Jan Sony a7s LA-EA4 A-mount adapter
You might have heard on the podcast that I’ve been hitting the pawn shops and playing around with older AF Minolta glass on the Sony a7s. The thing that makes it possible is the Sony LA-EA4 E-mount to A-mount adapter. Sony A99 owners have been enjoying older Minolta glass for a while now and with this […]
12Jun Sony A7S v.s. 5d mark III low light test
I’ve posted a few things about how Amazing the low light performance is on the new Sony a7s (here and here) but the video below really drives the point home. Sony really made the right choice move to a lower megapixel sensor and focusing in on lowlight and dynamic range performance. I rarely need 22MP, […]
02Jun Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 For Sony a7s – Preorder
I haven’t owned or used any Mitakon lenses, but their new Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 looks like a pretty sexy prospect. Up until now the only full frame lens that came close to f/0.95 is the legendary Canon 50mm f1.0 which is why the a 5omm f/0.95 lens for $899 looks so attractive. The question is, do you really need […]
16May Sony A7s $2498 official pricing announced.
At 12:00 A.M. this morning Sony officially announced pricing and a release date for the new A7s. When I first heard about this camera I was very disappointed at the lack of internal 4k recording, but after getting my hands on it at NAB it completely changed my mind. While I’m disappointed that Sony chose […]
12Apr Sit down talk with the guys from Next Wave DV
Ian and I had a chance to sit down with Tony and Sean from Next Wave DV yesterday morning. It was a bit informal but we had a pretty good time. I might have been off on a few things, i.e. 2.7k on the gopro not 2.5k and 32,000 iso is 8 stops not 10, […]
08Apr Sony a7s high ISO testing up to 80,000 – I’m in love
I mentioned last night that I was very impressed with the Sony a7s low light performance. But sometimes you really have to see it to believe it. Sony was kind enough to let me hang out at their booth and shoot these high ISO tests. They wouldn’t let me use a memory card in the […]
