Techart Pro Adapter working on Sony A6500 – Demo

Brad: “I wanted to share my first film assignment with the A6500. This was a freelance project I filmed for the local newspaper website the day after I received the new camera. I shot it in 4K using only the Sigma 17-50 lens with the MC-11 adapter. The five axis stabilization worked flawlessly. Edited 1080 in FCPX so I could crop when needed. My thought is the A6500 is an A6300 clone with IBIS and improved overheating.

Sony CES press conference on January 4th (don’t expect anything new)

Share

ces

Sony sent out an invitation for a press conference at the CES show. The conference will be streamed live on Ustream on January 4th at 5:00 PM PST (Las Vegas time).
Last year Sony officially said that they do not announce major A or E-mount stuff on such events because they prefer to get the full spotlight. Expect a new Sony announcement by late January or early February.
So far the only “leaked” info is that Sony registered a new camera in Asia. And it should be a new compact fixed lens camera (maybe a new RX). A new Sony A7 mark III is rumored to be announced in late Spring.

Star photographer Neil Leifer is now officially a Sony Artisan

The famous Muhammad Ali photo taken by Neil Leifer

World famous photographer Neil Leifer is now officially a Sony Artisan. This is the reason why he switched over to Sony:

The first thing that came to mind was the Sony weighed half of what my Nikon weighed. I looked through the camera, and I noticed the incredible quality of the Sony Zeiss lenses. Now, I had Zeiss lenses on my Leica’s years ago so I know how good they are.
I decided I really wanted to try it out, so I got in touch with Sony, sourced a loaner camera, tested it while shooting boxing and completely fell in love with it! The weight and the quality of the photography…I thought, this is definitely the way of the future. I know a good camera when I have one in my hands.

A full interview with Neil Leifer can be read at Alphauniverse.

Now I want to hear the Nikon and Canon folks saying Sony isn’t for PRO… :)
