Our reader Jason Chau spotted that amazing Action Camera setting done with the Sony A7 (A7II?). This is the first time ever I see a Full Frame camera used as a helmet action cam! Sell your GoPro guys, buy the Sony A7!
I can’t wait to see the footage he took with that cybernetic helmet!

DxO still lists the 55mm FE Zeiss as the best autofocus lens on the market. And if you want to save $223 on it than you may consider to purchase it as Grey Imported but with full 3 year US seller warranty at GetDigital on eBay (Click here).
P.S.: I am curious to see if the new Batis 85mm lens will match or even surpass the 55mm FE performance.
Chad Wadsworth (Click here) shared a first impression of the new Batis lenses he tested:
Batis 25mm: Where the FE 28mm is in-your-face sharp, the Batis looks a bit smoother, yet zoom in to pixel peep and bam, there’s the same level of sharpness and micro contrast. The render of the Batis very much reminds me of the ZA 24mm f/2 but without all the field curvature AF issues that were endemic to that A-mount lens.
Batis 85mm: Focus was quick and sure – and dead on accurate. Pixel peeping shows an impressive amount of sharpness and detail at f/1.8. Having previously owned the legendary ZA 85/1.4 I have been anxiously awaiting an FE replacement but was concerned that the lens would be too large or too slow. Again with the Goldilocks reference but the Batis seems to nail it with just the right dimensions, weight and image quality.
