Hands on with the new Planar 50mm f/1.4 FE and 70-200 f/2.8 GM lens
July, 11th 2016 – I’ve attended in Berlin the launch of the 21st FE lens on the market. 21st lens in a 3 year interval, something I wouldn’t think to be possible when Sony have launched it’s mirrorless full frame camera system, the Alpha 7 series. Versiunea in limba Romana – click aici! Together with Zeiss (they’ve hit 20 years milestone of collaboration), Sony has launched the new Planar T* FE 50mm...
10 minutes with Sony 70-300 FE
That’s it. I got the Sony 70-300 FE lens (check price) from the camera store to test on a A7S II but I didn’t want to play with it inside. So a clerk accompanied me outside for 10 minutes. Man this lens is big! And heavy. But it’s a G lens and since the A mount 70-300mm was a long time favourite of mine, the new one might find room very soon in my bag. So, the only thing that came to my mind was to shoot this lens at...
Review Sigma 30 F1.4 DC DN Contemporary
Being the first 1.4 from Sigma for the E-mount Sony system, this lens was long expected. APS-C mirrorless users must have a big smile on their faces, now that the new Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary hit the shelves at a price more than accessible (check price and availability ). The 30-35mm focal range is very crowded on the E mount, no less than 10 fixed focal lens being available, without taking into consideration the zooms that...
Sony 85mm f 1.4 G Master lens hands on
Testing the Sony 85mm f 1.4 G Master lens It’s difficult to call it a real test, but more a 2h hands on at an event I’ve attended last week in Amsterdam, where Sony held the launch event of the new Sony A6300 (see the hands on) camera and the 3 G Master lenses. In this short article I’ll write about the Sony 85mm f 1.4, a lens I’ve waited so much, and I got a feeling I wasn’t the only one. I’ve...
Sony a6300 hands on and features test
The Sony a6300 hands on This week I had the chance and great opportunity to be invited by Sony Romania to attend the European launch event of the new Sony a6300 camera and the new G Master lenses (hands on article coming soon) in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I wrote about this camera specs at the announcement date, but I wanted to discover more by holding it in my hands. Unfortunately all the Sony a6300 cameras at the event were...
Test ISO A7S vs A7S II – compressed and uncompressed raw
Versiunea in limba romana este aici. Since I got my hands on the new A7S II I was very curious if there is any difference between the new and the old model from the a7s series and hence this test: ISO A7S vs A7S II. Added to that, I wanted to see if there is any difference between Uncompressed and Compressed RAW files at various ISO levels. I really don’t like these comparisons tests and the proof to that is that...
A story on Zeiss Batis 85 mm f/1.8
I was one of the lucky six or seven photographers from Romania to get his hands on the first batch of Zeiss Batis 85 mm f/1.8 delivered to Romania. I was in Heaven, now I’m in Hell. Long story short, I’m returning it. Let me tell you my story with the Batis 85 mm f/1.8 It is the first lens ever (or actually first photography gear) I buy without prior testing it. The moment I heard about it and learned it’s features...

First impressions review of a Detail Monster camera – the Sony A7R II
Edit: 1. I’ve added at the end an Before/After Gradin clip of the 4k original one. 2. Some findings about the LA-LE4 adapter and Minolta AF lenses I can’t express in words my amazement for this new mirrorless camera Sony just released. I was already so eager to receive it for test since doing the hands-on test in London during the press event back in June. I got it couple of days ago from Sony Romania and I...
