Great Sony CP+ report from US navy member Matthew Durr!

Matthew Durr (Click here) posted the most detailed Sony Cp+ booth report I have seen so far. The United States Navy stationed him in Japan so he find some time to visit the CP+ show:

Sony is so confident in these lenses that they had their own live photo studio set up with multiple A7RII’s and 85mm f/1.4 GM’s, complete with two moving models and props galore. The GM lens lineup brings up the problem many mirrorless shooters are seeing with these cameras—as Sony and others release faster and larger lenses to compete with the big and bulky DSLR lenses, they cannot beat the laws of optics that tend to determine a lens’ weight.

I wish nothing but the best for Sony when the lenses get into the hands of reviewers and real-world testers to see what’s marketing fluff, and what is true performance. I’ve got a feeling Sony is doubling-down on these to help secure E-mount’s future in the pro segment, and they really have put their money where their mouth is. Time will tell.

Take time to read his whole article if you want to get a “feel” of what it means to visit the CP+ show!
