Zeiss Brings New Line Of Full Frame Lenses For Sony E-Mount With Loxia
One of my biggest issues with the A7s is lenses. Sony has a great sensor but limited native lenses to go with it. Now Zeiss has a new line of manual lenses for the E mount alpha line. I think this is great for Sony but these lenses are manual focus only. No auto focus. […]
Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA . The Next Generation
My first Metabones Smart Adapter with Speed Booster came in the mail last week. The Canon EF to Micro Four Thirds. I’ve been waiting for several years to be able to use my Canon lenses with the Panasonic MFT mount. That adapter has been a long time coming. Sure we have a few other choices but […]

I have a shoot that I want to use both the Canon C100 and the Panasonic GH4 together but I dont want to match these two cameras in post. I think it’s best to get the GH4 to match the C100 in camera as close as possible and tweak them in post insead. I got […]
