DxO now supports the Beercan! For a long time, it seemed like DxO only made correction modules for current or recent lenses. I was surprised to find out that they released a module for such an old lens (regardless of its cult-like following). Here is a link to DxO’s page where they confirm the support – http://www.dxo.com/intl/photo/news/DxO-Optics-Pro-new-lens-camera-combinations36

Sony A77 review at Megapixel (Click here).
I did some panorama shots with the Sony A77 and the Rokinon 8mm fisheye. I used a tripod to take shots at 8 positions (45 degree increments). I took 3 bracketed shots at position, for 24 total shots.
I used Photomatix Pro to create 8 HDR images fo each position, then Hugin to stitch the regular panorama and the little planet.

Rem: “Not that I am a big name photographer, but I have shot a few celebrities, so if anyone is interested they can also see what I have done with my Sony cameras.
Here’s one of Ron Jeremy for example…

I bet that f2.8/16-500 SSM lens must be gigantic and weigh a ton, not to mention cost a mint. . . 😉
Where can I buy one?
yeah, that 18-500 at contant 2.8 will be as large as the telescope in mt. palomar
yeah, that 16-500 at contant 2.8 will be as large as the telescope in mt. palomar
16-500 f2.8 SSM is SAR6 😀 lol…
It’s all Greek to me…
16-500 F2.8 SSM…Legend Lens..i own 1..believe me
LOL – Someone shot Ron Jeremy WITH CLOTHES ON!!!!
Now I could pursue that Pulitzer using my NEX-5N. Just like Brian. 😀 😀 😀
Hilarious! Wonderful video for us few who know and love Greece and the Greek language! No I’m not a Greek, but will move there when I retire. And Rethymnon seems to be the place…
Some really good stuff…I like to see people using their cameras for taking pictures on here instead of flaming this technology or that. There are obviously some very talented photographers on this blog, even if every one of them has probably been accused of “not knowing anything about photography” at some point because of an equipment preference. It’s nice to see what this community is actually producing, and very inspirational for amateurs like me!
+1
+2 Great comment.
+3 🙂
Pictures? I thought I was supposed to enlarge full resolution shots of test patterns and look at noise levels and corner falloff. Now that you mention it, pictures does sound like a lot more fun.
I will add another link, the one to my 365 +1 Days of NEX-7 blog. It’s a 365 project (one pic shot and published every day) performed solely with my NEX-7 and a bunch of lenses.

It is the successor to the sigma 200-500 2.8.

Loved the fun vibe of your video!
fuyoooh!
f2.8/16-500 SSM lens
canon 1dx! and sony will die 😀 YAY!
I wonder why Sony and other manufacturers only limit their video output resolution to 1080p. I have no clue.
The 24MP sensor produces enough pixels to output 4K video resolution, for example, like the RED.
In camera down-sampling of Sony cameras clearly isn’t good enough to retain cinematic sharpness of videos in 1080p.
Because Sony, Canon and Panasonic make pro video equipment as well, and don’t want to cannibalise themselves.
Nikon, Pentax, Olympus and Samsung aren’t so encumbered, so I’d imagine one of them will make the first move.
if not mistaken. Paul Genge once said that all this limitation is related to taxes issues. If the camera is more a video than a photo camera..taxes will be higher..
is there no way to hack all such stuff like output resolution, recording time limit or tethering controll? Same to GH1/2 I belive there are some genius brains like Vitaly Kiselev withing sony-fans as well. I think there will be even a lot of people donating for such work 🙂
Damn Sony and their stupid backward ways of thinking. Why doesn’t the NEX-7 support UHS-I?
It doesn’t?
