Sony will announce the new 300mm f/2.8 GM and probably the Sony A9III on November 7/8

Share

I now have MANY sources confirming Sony will have a product announcement event around November 7/8. One of my trusted sources said there is very likely going to be the final 300mm f/2.8 GM announcement. I still don’t have a confirmation for the A9III announcement but at this point I think it’s highly likely we will get the A9III too. This is rumored to become the world’s fastest Full Frame camera. Hope to get some A9III specs soon!

Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Review at SonyAlphaBlog and ePhotozine: “Smaller, lighter, better in many ways especially sharpness”

Share

16-35GMII at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Fotokoch, Calumet, WexUK. Sony AUS.

ePhotozine tested the new lens and concluded:

Smaller, lighter, better in many ways especially sharpness, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II lens is Sony at the top of their game. The resolution is still well up to the most recent, higher pixel counts from camera bodies such as the 60MP A7C R used in this review. Handling is superb, focusing fast and virtually silently and really the only downside to all of this is the price. However, after probably many years of use the price itself will soon be forgotten and what will remain will hopefully be some very fine images and a lens that still delivers the goods.

The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II lens is therefore Highly Recommended.

SonyAlphaBlog also tested the lens and writes:

The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II is the best in all domains except resistance to flare
Compared to the GMI , the GMII is smaller, lighter, is a little bit sharper in the corners wide open, better at 35mm, has shorter min focusing distance so more macro capabilities, has better ergonomics specially for video with its aperture ring, no focus breathing (GM I had one) and being parfocal, it has less vignetting & a faster AF

Cool 3D printed lens for Sony E-mount

Share

There is quite a boom of 3D printed accessories for cameras. This includes also the creation of lenses. The latest idea comes from Alessandro Sarri who writes:

I saved the lenses of a point and shoot Olympus 38mm f:2.8 And I put it in an 3D adapter (found on Tingiverse) that was originally intended to be used on a mirrorless analog camera.
I simply added an adapter for Sony E camera, did some adjustments, and a small hood that also serves to focus.
