Wanna make your Sony A7 look more “retro” or “vintage”? Redrock announced the new retroFlex-S rig for the Sony Alpha A7II series cameras. You can preorder it at Adorama (Click here).
RetroFlex is a unique rig that combines vintage handheld appeal with digital filmmaking. The big optical loupe is magnetically attached, and the handgrip has a built-in run-stop button for video. The bottom of the cage is an arca-swiss compatible plate so hybrid shooters can drop it right into their Really Right Stuff or similar tripod. Compatible with A7 II, A7S II and A7R II. More product info at Redrockmicro.com and preorder at Adorama.
You can see a short review from Sony Artisan Michael Britt here:
Nikon announced the world’s fastest 105mm lens. All specs and details can be read at BHphoto (Click here). If extreme bokeh is what you need this is the lens you have to buy. Mirrorless camera owners can use the lens with adapter on their camera.
Those of you who ordered the new Hasselblad X1D-50C will have to wait a couple of weeks more than expected to get it. According to BHphoto (Click here) the camera will now tart shipping on August 30 only
Diglloyd says the reason for the delay is that Hasselblad has a lot of bugs to fix. But I am also hearing this has to do with the Sony sensor production issues.
This is the first image of the new Nikon 105mm f/1.4 autofocus F-mount lens. This is the world’s fastest 105mm autofocus lens and some mirrorless owners maybe be interested to grab this one and to adapt it on their camera. This is definitely a lens with a huge appealing WOW factor!
The lens will be priced at 233,280 YEN ($2,200) and released on August 26.
