Let's get Nikon 1 AF performance into a 35mm mirrorless body, and get the e-shutter capability improved quite a bit. Hello 10+ FPS with active phase-detect AF!
I would still buy the A7r IF at least one of the following were true: that Zeiss 35 f/2.8 is 35 f/2 at same price; there are good options for TTL triggers and speedlites; Zeiss 55 f/1.8 is a little smaller and $300 less, X-sync is at least 1/250th and FPS at least 5-6.
So looks like I am waiting for A7r Mk II..

The future is bright, the future is Sony?

Rather simplistic article, but I must say Sony has earned my photographic respect with the A7®. I mean, where is CaNikon's full-frame, mirrorless, portable, interchangeable camera, at a reasonable price no less?
I have a lot of $$$ tied up in Canon, but I have a feeling Sony might be getting some of that soon. -
Not mine but had to share this one which stopped me in my tracks. Sony A7r + Nikon 14-24mm. Kudos to "Gianmaria Veronese."

I tried the current A&K players briefly. They sure look nice, but one would be much better served by spending the money on really good portable headphones/IEM's instead. BTW, do people really carry around a portable music player IN ADDITION to their cell phones? These days I'm happy enough with my Samsung Android phone playing music through my trusty old Ultimate Ears

Vito, I hope you find this video tutorial as useful as I have.

sylvania 12bh7 (it just sounded better than all the au7s i tried);
OT. Which version of Sylvania 12BH7 is that, black/grey plate, 50's/60's, and O/D getter?

Very sad news. Makes us wonder what *we* would do if we had a rare Porsche Carrera GT for a short time..
"The 40-year-old Walker was riding in a red Porsche GT about 3:30 p.m. when the sports car flew off the road and slammed into a tree in Santa Clarita, authorities and witnesses said. The car burst into flames."

Yeah, I prefer the Distagon look also. Since Sony and Zeiss cooperate to make AF lenses often, I am hoping there will be a Sony AF version of Otus 55 mm in the future.
Anyway, insomnia sometimes lets you take photos real early..

"$4.900 with Solen polypropylene caps, $5.100 with Solen Teflon caps"
Wow, I did not even realize Studio Six sells for this type of money
Who designs ALO amps? I recall a time when they were just a cable/recabling company not too long ago...
-
So this thing will power low-impedance 'phones, high-impedance 'phones, K1000, regular speakers, difficult-to-drive planars, and electrostats (via transformer); Jack of all trades and master of ALL (or none)?

EC Electra is utterly fucked but then again everybody knew that.
What exactly is wrong with it? I thought it sounded nice in a brief listen.
Since I'm trying to be glass-is-half-full this year, how about a list of *GOOD* Electrostat Amps?
-
^ Let me know how that conversation goes - I highly doubt my wife would agree to me buying another interchangeable lens camera because the camera on my phone isn't great.
OR... I can just buy the A7r and tell my life it was a $200 point-and-shoot. Heck, she won't know the difference.
-
This is the amp made by the guy who made Jade, now called HIFIMAN.
There is rumor that he is going to be producing electrostatics again very soon. This is the amp he made for the headphone. I assume this is the prototype...
Hey, I still have one of those HE Audio electrostats, which looks somewhat dated sitting next to my SR009. Do you have a link for the company or dealer?
-
That line of thinking seems to be exactly my conclusions as well.
Heck, I may take this opportunity to convince my wife that *we* need the Sony A7r since the phone cameras aren't cutting it.
-
Yup, I had high hopes for Sony QX100, too. But it just does not seem ready for prime-time. If I find nothing good, though, it may still be in the cards.

While I don't have one, what's wrong with an iphone? If you really need zoom, then it is better to have a separate camera.
My tubby fingers just cannot deal with iPhone's 4" screen. Unless iPhone goes to at least a 4.6" screen, it's no go for me. I actually would prefer a non-zoom, fixed lens on my phone camera, ideally with a fast aperture (f/2.2 like Lumia 1020) and as large a sensor as would fit. 1/1.5" sensor like Lumia 1020 would give me decent utility in low light, just enough to let me leave aps-c or full frame cameras home.
I have a lot of $$$ tied up in Canon, but I have a feeling Sony might be getting some of that soon.
