(SR5) Good news: 5 axis stabilization works with ALL third party lenses!

Share


ilca-7m2_storereview_021


Highly trusted sources (Thank You all!) confirmed the 5axis stabilization of the A7m2 works with ALL third party lenses like the lenses from the Leica M, Zeiss ZM, Konica Hexanon, Olympus OM series. Terrific news if you consider for the firts time in history those lenses will get a 4.5 stop stabilziation on a FF camera!


One of the sources wrote:



In body stabilization of the new A7II will work with all third party lenses. For lenses without electronic connections, you will need to manually enter the lens focal length. For lenses used with an electronic adapter, such as Metabones Version 4, the info is conveyed automatically to the camera and you will need to turn off any stabilization in the lens.



As you see form the images posted by Sonyshop-satouchi, Biglobo and Yagumo-Camera the 5 axis stabilization can be manually set for a long list of focal lengths!


P.S.: Sony A7m2 launch news is now reported on Sony Germany, Sony UK, Sony Italy, Sony France, Sony Australia.

Rising Stars visiting ZEISS



Yesterday, on a very rainy day, six “rising stars” visited ZEISS in Jena. The young ophthalmologists from Iran, Egypt, Georgia, Pakistan and Nepal – the 2014 fellows from the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) – were amazed to see the ZEISS products being assembled, and marveled at the expertise involved in optical lens production.



In their home countries, they had already worked with several of the devices. During their stay at hospitals in Germany and Austria, the doctors have the opportunity to improve their skills in ophthalmology and learn different approaches to the examination and treatment of eye diseases.



Well-trained doctors are vital, especially in rapidly developing economies and in developing countries, to prevent blindness and visual impairment. ZEISS has been supporting the fellowship program of the ICO since 2012 and is thus doing its part to train young doctors.

(SR4) 85mm FE prime coming in Spring 2015. Faster and more expensive than the 55mm FE.

A FAKE rendering of a possible Sony 85mm f/1.8 FE lens (Source: Xitek.).


I keep receiving confirmations from different sources that Sony will launch a new 85mm Zeiss FE prime lens in 2015. It should ship late 2015 at best. I am yet not sure about the aperture but it is defintiley faster than f/1.8 of the Zeiss FE 55m lens!!! Only issues, I have been told it’s also more expensive than the 55mm FE :(

Anyway, if you need a budget 85mm E-mount lens do not forget you have the manual focusing Samyang 85mm f/1.4 E-mount on eBay (Click here) or at Amazon (Click here). Very cheap!


Let’s just speculate with the specs and price yet:

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Reminder:
This is the official Sony FE roadmap:

(SR2) Possible E-mount APS-C lens roadmap for 2015!

Share


zeiss24mm


The following rumor is not coming from my trusted sources so just like the all other low ranked rumors take them with a grain of salt. The interesting part of the rumor is that it’s about the APS-C E-mount lens roadmap. Something that is highly needed! So let me know if that Fake or True roadmap would make you happy or not! The anonymous source said those are the lenses to be released in 2015:

25 f1.4

16-50 f2.8 – 4

50-150 f4-5.6


All those three lenses would be nice to have but I still miss a fast portrait lens. Hope that Sony will do that too! You can also discuss the lens roadmap on our SonyAlphaForum.


One more thing: I have very big SR5 rumors I am working on. Please be patient because I am trying to use my 100% reliable info to get as much as I can from other sources. All I can say know is that very big stuff is coming from Sony in very early 2015. To not miss any of them quickly subscribe our social network:

Boon:I’ve just posted my comparison of IQ of the JPEG engine between firmware 1.01, 1.02 (previous comparison images) and 1.10 for the A7R. I used the Sony FE 24-70/4 at about 50mm F4 to shoot the images. Other than the faster startup of FW 1.10, I think the image quality has indeed improved, perhaps by at least 1-stop. http://ift.tt/1xkpAzV

Micropia in Amsterdam: discover a hidden kingdom in newly opened museum



Micropia is the first museum in the world to reveal the world of microscopically small life. Thanks to ZEISS microscopes visitors learn how microbes behave, feed and reproduce.



The focus is placed on the mostly positive relationship between microbes and the visitors themselves. Various stations such as an interactive body scanner or the Kiss-O-Meter illustrate where microbes are found on the body and how they are transferred. Microscopes from ZEISS help visitors observe and discover the numerous bacteria, fungi and algae.



Picture: Visitors will be able to study tiniest samples under ZEISS microscopes like this ZEISS SteREO Discovery.V12.
