Terrence: “Hooked up to Sony a7s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WrVpuiaFgE”

Eliot: “Longtime reader here! Wanted to share a short video my team and I shot on two of our lovely A7s bodies. My company, Parlor (weareparlor.com), focuses mainly on documentary-style productions for non-profits, small brands, restaurants, and artists. This project, for the United Coalition of Motor Club Safety, was perfect for the a7s. We had to travel light, fit in tight spaces, shoot in all kinds of weather, and most importantly- get beautiful, sharp, vibrant images.
I’m really proud of the result- it just went live today – and I would love if you could share it with fellow readers. I think it does a great job of showcasing the amazing potential of the a7s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BEt-fRhVts
We captured all media internally (unfortunately our Shogun arrived two weeks too late). Clips were recorded in S-Log2, then edited and graded in FCPX. We used Metabones adapters, both the speedster and smart adapter, to shoot with a small handful of lenses including the Tamron 24-70, Canon 100L, and Canon 20. The APS-C crop really opened up a world of potential with these guys- essentially doubling our available glass.”

Alex: “I just got my new A7 and took it to praque, I have written a short, slightly humorous review/turorial maybe you find the time to read it: http://passportsandlenses.com/how-to-take-pictures-of-your-girlfriend/“

        1. Nope, he is just another guy that I hurt his sister’s feeling.
          BTW I am trying to use sony fanboys way of comments

          1. Oh good just what this place needs, another diqkhead trying to give his objective opinion about how system A is better then system B.

            We really need more comments like those.

  1. About 1cm of play? Americans don’t really seem to have got a handle on the metric system do they?

    nb. rotational play makes no difference to image quality of course (maybe a bit annoying using MF if the ring is a bit tight). All cameras that I know have some rotational play as it’s just the leeway in the locating pin.

  2. “double the available glass” ???…lol.. more like trippling.
    sony has no good glas except a handfull of lenses… and not much lenses anyway.

    1. You could say the same for Canon and Nikon, yes they have hundreds of lenses but most are relics and not suited for use on a high resolution digital camera. So they all end up with just a handful of good modern lenses.

  3. Canon users now have an interesting choice to make in degrading their lenses by going from 14 bit color and accurate WB to Sony’s 11+7 bit color and dubious skin tones.

    1. It’s likely Canon will continue to use the red hue shift because the fanboys think it looks nice even though it’s inaccurate. Try doing a profile using a color checker, Sony and Nikon are basically neutral. Canon will show a definite hue shift when calibrated, when are they going to correct that?

    2. The Sony sensor will always be better (dynamic range, resolution, color depth etc) than Canon unless they start sourcing sensors from Sony.
