James:Hey, I have been doing some street portraiture in Seattle recently, I am currently using the a850 and the Sony G 35/1.4 as well as the Minolta D G 85/1.4, my night shots are often taken @ f1.4 at around 1/15th of a second (IBIS Rocks), I am getting some truly beautiful images of people and thought other SAR readers around the globe would like to see my work here in Seattle, WA, USA.

Pmgongpal modified the Sony A7r into a “Contax” version. I really like it! And I am sure you are curious to know what lens is fitted on the camera: The [shoplink 41386 ebay]Hexanon 50/1.2 (see them on eBay)[/shoplink].
Lovely combo! Now I want Sony to give us a Silver A7 version too :)

Financial report: Sony increases earnings in the imaging business!

Sony released the new financial report. Details can be found here: sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/er.html

Like all other companies Sony is selling less camera in terms of units (entry-level compact camera market is shrinking). But unlike Canon (report on MR)…Sony is making money out of the Imaging Business! This because it’s selling more and more high-value cameras and lenses. This lead to a 88 billion yen income this year.

Sony also increased the income forecast for the next quarter. All looks very good so far!
