A new toy for Leica Lens fans: The Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens.

If you like to use Leica lenses on your A7 camera than you have a new toy to play with. Leica announced their fastest 28mm lens ever and you can have it for $5,950 on BHphoto. A real bargain as usual
Note: To save money you can buy the Nikkor 28mm f/1.4 on eBay (click here). Don’t know if the Nikkor can match the quality of the Leica…

Sony US lists crazy low prices: A7r for $199 only! $11,700 off on the 500mm G!!!

At SonyStore US (Click here and see for yourself) you can get plenty of Sony cameras for a ridiculous price. The A7r for example sells for $199 only (Click here)! And the Sony 500mm f/4.0 got a $11,700 off on Amazon US (Click here to see it).

This obviously has to be a mistake! Anyway, if you buy the camera you may get the cam for the currently displayed price?

Thanks Viet and MR.A. for spotting this.

Great A7II reportage photos shot in “Subzero Playground” conditions.

“I see the light”
A7s + Samyang 14/2.8
ISO 8000, focal length 14mm, f/2.8, shutter speed 20 sec

Our reader “Gift Of Light” worked with the A7II and A7s in extreme subzero temperatureconditions. These are soem of the pics and a short report of his adventure. The full reportage can be seen at SonyAlphaForum (Click here).

“Tracer”
A7s + FE 70-200/4
ISO 100, focal length 200mm, f/4, shutter speed 1/5,000 sec

“At lake Baikal, the average temperature is around -15 to -10 degree Celsius. All of my stuff, as in list, worked well, except the battery life. As all of us can expect, the battery life in a bit extreme cold weather should not be long. However, there is something more than that. Sometime I found that the battery status abruptly decreased from many percentages to exhausted, occurred in both A7II and A7s, but after the battery was changed both of them can work normally.

“Burning Cave”
A7 + FE 16-35/4
ISO 100, focal length 16mm, f/19, shutter speed 1/10 sec (HDR blend with +2 and -2 stops photos)

By the way, the exhausted batteries were found that they didn’t really exhaust because when I put them in the chargers, they didn’t charged from the zero. Moreover, I encountered a big problem once about this issue during the trip. At one morning, I went outdoors early since 4:00 AM and stayed there until 8:00 AM. At around 8:00 AM, my A7II abruptly showed exhausted battery status. I tried to replace the battery with many of unused batteries in my bag several times, but each time the A7II showed exhausted battery status after take a few shots. And as I told you earlier, all of them didn’t really exhaust. I don’t know what is the problem between the battery or the camera, but I think the latter is most likely. Otherwise, there is nothing to complaint about my Sony stuff.

“Dawn of The Coldest Desolation”
A7 II + FE 16-35/4
Blending two shots of
ISO 400, focal length 16 mm, f/16, shutter speed 2 sec (for a man)
ISO 100, focal length 16mm, f/16, shutter speed 8 sec (for whole photograph)

However, I want to request something from Sony. First of all, if it is possible, please make new battery with larger capacity. The A7 series is growing day by day and make attention from many professional photographers who want to use a smaller and lighter system for their work but still get image quality of full frame camera. But, to think that if you want to travel to remote areas without electricity for a while, you must bring a huge pack of your batteries to make sure that you will have enough power supply during your trip. That is not good. Another request, could you please add depth of field scale (or even hyperfocal distance) into the camera, just like when we turn the focusing ring and then the focusing distance pop up in the camera. It should be a great feature for landscape shooter like me. These are all I want to request for this time.”

A7s + FE 55/1.8
ISO 100, focal length 55mm, f/11, shutter speed 1/60 sec

Josten Pa Langs, a Classic Norwegian Fjelll Ski Tour, traversing Jostedaals Breen, Europe’s longest Glacier. A three day self supported Mini Expedition, Camping on the Glacier. Since we had to carry a lot of gear anyways, i stuck with the a6000 and the Zeiss Zoom. A perfect combo as it turned out!

If you’re wondering why I chose the settings I did, it was to slow down the shutter speed to overcome camera shake from shutter shock. One of the reasons I’m eagerly anticipating the Mark II and hoping this gets addressed.
