Craft shows us how you could make a Sony E and A-mount hybrid camera!
If you ever wondered how a hypothetical Sony hybrid A and E-mount hybrid mount camera could work look here:
Craft Camera just announced a camera where you can swap between PL, EF and MFT mount by a push of a lever. The image above shows a MFT mount on the left and the EF mount on the right. It’s a different concept than using adapters as in the Craft Camera there is no fixed basic lens mount. Just watch the video to see how this works:
Could be a solution for the perfect Sony A-E mount camera or not?
A bit of history: The “hybrid” mount concpet isn’t anything new. The [shoplink 47137 ebay]Contax IIA (here on eBay)[/shoplink] has such a kind of mount too!
Diglloyd reports GM lenses do have a major focusing bug
The 85mm GM lens is in Stock at BHphoto (Click here).
Diglloyd seems to have spotted another bug:
With both the Sony GM lenses (85/1.4 GM and 24-70/2.8 GM), Sony A7R II does NOT open the lens diaphragm to focus, at least not under reasonably bright to somewhat dim conditions (checked over 3 different days). has no effect on the behavior.
I guess this is something that can be fixed by Sony via firmware upgrade.
DearSusans started his ongoing 85mm GM lens review:
Wide open, there is a modest loss of apparent sharpness due to a very slight loss of contrast. But first it is very slight, then it clears up not only by f:2.0, but already by f:1.6 (the aperture range moves in 1/3 stops). From f:1.7 on down, the lens hardly improves, but its rendering becomes just a tad less warm and more neutral. So, in effect, you have a portrait lens wide open, where many prefer not to show too much detail and sharpness (I happpen to disagree), and lovely, romantic colours, then a lens for close-up and street from f:1.6 to, say, f:4.0, then a landscape lens from f:4.0 onwards.

Sony brings PRO support program to UK
Sony had a press announcement today during the World Photo Award: They are expanding their PRO support program to the UK.
This is the press text:
Sony today announced the expansion of its Imaging PRO Support programme to include the UK. The programme is scheduled to start in the UK in September 2016 and continues to gain momentum as an increasing amount of professional photographers are switching to Sony cameras.
Imaging PRO Support offers advice and help to members including a dedicated telephone help desk offering professional photographers support in using their α camera equipment. There’s a free collection and return service for units requiring repairs, plus a free back-up loan unit to keep professional photographers up and running. In addition, members can benefit from a free twice-yearly image sensor cleaning service with filter glass replacement if necessary and firmware check-up to keep their cameras in top condition.
There’s no membership fee for the service that’s offered to professional photographers[i] who own at least two Sony α camera bodies and three Sony α lenses from the qualifying list detailed beneath.
The Sony Imaging PRO support programme is now live in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the United States. Rollout in other European countries is currently under consideration.

Christian: “My friend Alessandro Della Bella and I just released a project that might be interesting for you. „Zurich by Night“ features some quite fancy aerial nighttime images and consists of interactive panoramic images and a short hyperlapse movie. The images are put together of 42 single photographs shot with a Sony a7RII and have a size of more than 800MP (4GB Tiff).
