We have a couple of deals on the older E-mount cameras:
The German website Photoscala reports that “Net SE”, the company behind Meyer-Optik, Goerz and Oprema Jena filed for insolvency in Germany. And the reason for this is a tragic event. CEO Stefan Immes had a near-fatal car-incident. It’s unclear yet if the company will be saved or not.
Meyer Optik successfully funded E-mount lenses through Kickstarter. But we don’t know yet if those projects will be continued or not. There are also currently 13 E-mount lenses listed at BHphoto. They might be out of Stock soon.
Very sad news. I hope Stefan Immes will be able to recover from his injuries.

Jared: ” I rep Vanguard (tripods, bags, accessories) and we’ve put together an EPIC giveaway package that includes a Sony a7R II + Sony Zeiss 24-70 F4 Lens. In all, we’re giving away $7K in gear (Sony, GNARBOX, Ikan, NiSi, Vanguard) + a $1000 travel voucher to go anywhere you want! I was wondering if you’d be willing to share with your group, and we’d be glad to tag you in some of our posts moving forward!

I just got a short note from a Sigma source:
Sigma will announce new lenses on September possibly 70-200 but they don’t know if it’s possible to make for Sony e-mount .
Sigma officially stated that making E-mount zooms is complicated because of the autofocus algorithm. Let’s see if Sigma can tackle this issue in time for the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens launch at Photokina.
Today jbcameradesigns.com announced their new wood grip-base xl for the A7III-A7rIII and A9. They should be available soon on Amazon US:
This is a J.B. personal favorite and a new finish we are debuting! Add the MUCH NEEDED height to the Sony A7III series camera bodies with our new XL grip handcrafted from super strong (and light) White Oak. We carefully perfected our grip design for the A7III, A7RIII, and A9 and made it TALLER to accommodate room for you to finally place your pinky finger and feel confident in your grip!
This new XL grip is made of strong White Oak and then painted with special black paint. We then distress the grip to give each one it’s own unique finish. This grip feels awesome on my A7RIII and I finally feel confident and comfortable holding large pro lenses while shooting.
The total weight of the grip and hardware piece is only 3.0 ounces! The Sony vertical grip makes the system too bulky IMO, but with this XL grip base, it just feels perfect.
Each A7III Series XL grip is uniquely handcrafted and finished in the USA!
