With the New Lab near completion I was able to set up the studio lights and a white back drop for some real product photography of the Nex-3n, sel20f28, and selp18200 Power Zoom Lens. I used my Nex-6 and the 55-210mm lens for the product photography, using my studio lights and a white paper backdrop. [...]
It’s been a busy past few weeks for Sony, as they made some significant news announcements, and a few rumors have leaked. Sony is finally making money again as a company whole, and the focus seems to be streamlined in a much more realistic fashion. Basically what Sony is trying to do, which is smart in [...]
I took several video clips using the my Sony Nex-6 and my GoPro Hero2 that I’ve had for some time now. The Nex-6 did a great job with the video in my opinion and the GoPro Camera, which is similar to the Sony Action Cam, offered a new perspective on the pool and more. I [...]
I have gotten a lot of questions lately on recommendations for lenses, camera bags, and other gear for travel purposes, so I figured it was time to write an article on the matter. I had to do some re-search as new bags and gear are constantly coming out or are being updated, so prepare yourself [...]
The recently announced Samsung NX300, I just read up on, got me seriously looking into the Samsung NX Camera System as a whole. Very impressive first impression I must say. Huge APS-C sized sensors, just like the Sony Nex camera system, Hybrid AF, and several quality lenses available. Samsung is on the move just like [...]
For this series of Photos from out Disney Family Vacation, I used my Nex-6 and the 55-210mm E-Mount Lens. The extra focal length of the SEL55210 was definitely needed for the Animal Kingdom as most animals were pretty far away, and the 18-55mm standard kit lens is not enough zoom. I really wanted to get [...]
As I said in the previous post on my Disney World Family Vacation – Magic Kingdom, I’m using my Sony Nex-6, the 18-55mm kit lens, and the 55-210mm telephoto zoom lens. The Sony Nex-6 did the job very well and the two lenses gave me the necessary range for the photos I wanted to capture [...]
As you may have heard Sony has changed it’s camera road map big time and has also consolidated it’s line significantly. Canceling the Nex-7n because it was not significantly better enough than the existing Nex-7?? Really? So, will the Nex-7n just get passed over for the Nex-9 or Nex-8 perhaps? After reading up on several [...]
I just got back from Disney World down in Florida from a week long family vacation and I brought along the Nex-6 and a few E-Mount lenses to capture the experience. I ended up using the SEL1855 kit lens and the sel55210 telephoto zoom lens for everything else as I was always on the move. [...]
New Sony gear on the way to the lab, including the Sony Nex-3n, the Sony 20mm f/2.8 Lens(sel20f28), and the 18-200mm Powerzoom lens (selp18200)!! I’m really looking forward to trying out the 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 PZ OSS lens in particular, because it has multiple zoom speed options, and the optical design looks like it’s based on the original SEL18200, as apposed to the newer, smaller [...]
Sigma just released a New E-Mount Lens, which should be available on May 16th, called the Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN Lens. The DN stands for the “dedicated to interchangeable mirroless”, and this lens is filed under Sigma’s Art Category. I’m really happy to see this release, because the 19mm and 30mm Sigma E-Mount lenses (Click [...]
In this Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical lens Review I use real world photography situations and subjects, to show you what this lens is capable of doing in the real world!! I also used my Sony Nex-6 and LA-EA1 Lens Adapter in order to mount the A-Mount lens to the E-Mount camera. It is a great combo for the most part, but [...]
Some new Sony Rebates and Discounts just announced and a huge Rumor about the Sony SLT (translucent mirror) being finished in the crop factor DSLR cameras!! Is the SLT-A58 really the last translucent mirror camera from Sony? Crazy rumor I know, but Andre over at SonyAlphaRumors does a great job, and it’s honestly not that big of [...]
In this Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 UMC Aspherical lens Review I use real world photography situations and subjects, to show you what this lens is capable of doing in the real world!! I also used my Sony Nex-6 and LA-EA1 Lens Adapter in order to mount the A-Mount lens to the E-Mount camera. It is a [...]
