SAR readers mail:
LG mail: “habe kürzlich nochmal die Sony NEX-7 zum Einsatz gebracht – diesmal auf eine etwas “andere Art” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv6kFLLscUo”
Panda mail: “Sigma France just told me that the new (weather sealed) 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro is available in Sony mount since the beginning of the week (30/04/2012).
However, the 150mm and 180mm macro lenses are not planned in Sony mount. Actually, I asked about the availability of these three macro lenses on Monday and they replied yesterday.
Since the Sony mount isn’t officially listed on Sigma’s website, I thought I could share this news.”
Cotton mail: “https://vimeo.com/41160656 . You were very kind to link to my last video shot with the A77, just wanted you to see what I did with the NEX VG-20, which I promised to do.”
OneGuy mail: “The Red (camcorder maker) is selling OLED EVF for $3,000 http://www.red.com/store/products/red-pro-evf Looking at the specs, I am 100% sure it’s the same EVF as is on Sony’s site (not the one in A77, but the second one, 720p, one) http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/cx_news/vol66/pdf/ecx331_332a.pdf $3,000 🙂 Gotta love the “pro” manufacturers .. they will charge “pros” $3,000 for an EVF which basically has the same technology inside that is $350 on consumer models (5N’s external EVF). http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/819651-REG/Sony_FDA_EV1S_Electronic_Viewfinder_for_NEX_5N.html”

Come on Sony, give us a 50mm f3.5!!! Wake up!
That’s a joke, right?
Not sure, if this review has been linked here already:

Good to see more pro productions with Sony products. As an electronics company, I don’t always feel that Sony appreciates the benefit of associating themselves with imaging professionals. Other manufacturers certainly do. Especially those in want of street credibility to support trickle down sales market for enthusiasts.
Olympus is a prime model for Sony to follow. They are doing everything they can to associate themselves with working pros.

Part of me says I wish Oly could purchase imaging part of Sony. Of course that is fantasy by now after the mess they are in. But I do not know what would happen if vice versa happens, that was a rumor on SAR too.
When you control the lighting, there is NO excuse for blown highlights. Meh!!!
Good editing, but the production values not so much.
Thanks Andrea. 🙂

My man Matthew from DPReview! Haha, you’re like a celebrity in the NEX world.
Haha no…I’m too lowly for some status like that. 🙂

May not be “professional work,” but here is a link to my piece which just won the “best drama” award at the CSUSM Film Festival (everyone else using Canon SLRs or other high end video cameras, mine is shot entirely with a77)
Any feedback welcome
Not sure I understand this response Andrea.
“However, the 150mm and 180mm macro lenses are not planned in Sony mount. Actually, I asked about the availability of these three macro lenses on Monday and they replied yesterday.”
I purchased the Sigma 150mm macro from BH Photo recently for the Sony mounnt.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/755349-USA/Sigma_106205_150mm_f_2_8_EX_DG.html
I have not seen it for sale in very many places upon searching though. I saw a couple of places that had it for pre-order but BH was the only place you could actually buy it from at the time I purchased my copy.
Hi,
This was the mail Sigma sent me two weeks ago.
Actually, both the 150mm and the 105mm are avaiable in Sony mount. They are now listed on Sigma’s website (since the begining of last week).
Several webshops have the 105mm in stock right now, but the 150mm seems harder to find (at least where I live).
It looks like the guy from Sigma who wrote me that mail was mistaken.
I agree. I have seen the 150mm on Sigmas website listed for a few months now. Not sure about the 105mm though.
It’s fun to point out that RED users have to pay more to get the same specs in a viewfinder but also understandable if you look at the products and companies. First of all, the RED is a fully professional product that can take huge abuse and not break. It is listed as weighing 1.2 lbs compared to the Sony viewfinder that weighs only 1 oz! Obviously different products despite the same tech specs.
