A must have E Mount for APSC
on July 13, 2018
Posted by: codymonser
from Bowling Green
Verified Purchase:Yes
Earlier copies of this lens have been faulted for having slightly slow focus, Simga seems to have completely worked out these issues. The lens focuses extremely fast for both photography and video applications. Of course the lens is exceptionally sharp, even wide open. I had some reservations about the focal length of 30mm which is equivalent to 45mm on a Sony full frame camera, which is quite close to 50mm. It's difficult to explain, but I find the focal length very versatile, perhaps even slightly more than a standard 50mm on a full frame camera.

This Sony SEL28F20 lens features a 9-blade circular aperture and ED glass with multicoating, so you can easily capture clear photos with minimal ghosting using your a7-series, 35mm full-frame camera.

Pair this with the A7S II

This is such a great value video lens. As a prime, it's lightweight and thus perfect for any mirrorless E Mount Sony mounted on a gimbal. Distortion is low (for video) and film has that rich, high quality DSLR look.

Best Video DSLR on the market?
on September 16, 2017
Posted by: codymonser
from Bowling Green
Verified Purchase:Yes
After a ton of research, my first camera purchase was an A7R II over the A7S II. Afterward, I picked up an a6500. My latest purchase was this gem. Looking back, I actually think I would have preferred the A7S II as my first camera. In my mind, the R has just one advantage over the S, and that is the 44 MP sensor. The R allows you to recompose any shot you could ever want down to about the smallest crop you could image. I'm talking printable images with 400% crop. This has really helped produce some phenomenal shots. Now, if you are an expert at composition and/or you take a ton of pictures every time you shoot, the advantage of the R is really lost. The S operates faster, has almost the same image quality (in real world shots), and is an ABSOLUTE BEAST as a video camera. The superior in body stabilization (side by side to the R, the S is just better), SLog 3, gamma assist, slow motion, and UNREAL low light performance make this a better camera. There I said it.

Get a reliable portrait lens for your NEX camera with this Sony 50mm lens. It has a fast aperture of f/1.8 for solid performance under low-light conditions, and it can get in close to your subject — up to 1.5 feet. Add a 49mm filter to your Sony 50mm lens for lens protection and polarization effects.

Cheap lens, great quality.

Sony's nifty fifty competes with any other major manufacture. Just remember, you get what you pay for. This is a good lens but a great value. It suffers from chromatic aberrations and some fall off in the edges, but is wonderfully sharp.

You've read the hype. This really is one of the best gimbals out there. The only negative is its relatively light weight limit. This works well with light bodies and primes.

Shoot where a tripod can't go with this Manfrotto XPRO video monopod. The Power-Lock flip locks combine with the D-shaped leg sections to provide stability, and the base lets you tilt and pan smoothly. The rubber leg warmer and adjustable hand strap of this Manfrotto XPRO video monopod provide a secure grip.
 

Does this monopod come with the fluid head?

Yes.

Hi, what does it mean to just purchase the "Body only" does that include a lens? Thank you!

It means the camera is sold without a lens. IE it is the camera body only.
