Sony A7RII and Zeiss Milvus 85mm (Jorge Torralba).
David: “Earlier today it occurred to me that sometimes we all forget to just have some fun with the camera. Today I set my new A7RII to use Sonyy’s creative modes and wandered around Richmond, a city-fringe suburb of my home town of Melbourne, taking photos. Here is a link to some of the photos that I liked: http://havefunwithsony.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/back-streets-of-richmond-victoria.html
Thinking about it, I am surprised about how many camera reviews (not just the A7RII) cover nothing more than “and it has the usual creative modes as well, if you’re that way inclined.” They’re fun!”
Anonymous: “Although clearly not a Sony rumor, your readers might find this interesting. Here is an active Kickstarter Project that is going gangbusters: Hercules – The World’s Smallest Camera Motion Control System.
Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2044759634/hercules-the-worlds-smallest-camera-motion-control/comments
Depending on the Reward that you select, this is a pocket-sized device that will do motorized panoramic moves, motorized time lapse moves, motorized dolly moves on any flat surface and motorized slider moves on the supplied track.
Be sure to read the updates section regarding the Stretch Goals. They have already reached a Stretch Goal #1 that allows magnetic to be used for speed ramping start/stop and repeat moves — like a second shooter for a B-Camera.
Anyway, I thought your readers might find it interesting, especially while the campaign and reduced pricing is still available.”

wow that Hercules is incredible! Even I am getting totally curious about it… although I am definitely not a videographer
“Thinking about it, I am surprised about how many camera reviews (not just the A7RII) cover nothing more than “and it has the usual creative modes as well, if you’re that way inclined.” They’re fun!””
They are, but most of the time I can do the same in post with more control over the end result. But then again, I can understand the fun of having instant results you can show to others immediately.
About the Hercules: I love the idea but wonder about front heavy camera’s. I doubt it will stay on its wheels when I put lets say my A6000 with the 18-200 lens on it or am I missing something in the concept to deal with this?
There’s a bigger baseplate for bigger camera with heavy lens.
And what about for people who don’t do post ? Not everyone is a pro and even know to which extent and how pictures can be worked on with a computer. There are also people who do not want to spend days reworking their pictures on a computer…
I believe that these people may be happy with a camera creative modes.
Some people may buy the same cameras but they may produce their pictures in very different ways…
Loica lenses? …
He had two pronunciations. He also mixed in loicza.
I say lox-zee-uh, ’cause I’m ‘merican.
Am I wrong?
Yes 🙂
So, what is it?
As you write – L o X i a. With “i”, not “ei”.
For a german speaking person it’s hard to pronounce wrong 😉
btw – I also find it quite stupid when Germans pronounce englisch words like they were german – it’s a ?ucking name, just use it.
Laica lenses – did I miss something? 🙂
This Milvus 85mm Looks great – looking forward to a F2 Loxia Version! 🙂
