Official Videos
Snappiness published a camera mode he is attempting to use with two Sony a7M2 to create a 72x24mm image using a 3d printer, and he almost succeeds, but his mirror placement ended up being a little off. At first he created a 36x48mm image by putting the cameras on the adapter sideways, but then he flipped them around to get 72x24mm. Since he was unable to get the mirrors to alight properly only one of the cameras was able to capture sharp images, but maybe we will see a new, improved adapter in the future with better mirror placement.
I captured some images from the video for closer viewing below:

Lens features:
Professional telephoto lens for demanding applications
The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS Sports lens is designed for sports, nature, and portrait photographers who require exceptional optical quality and reliability in all conditions. Thanks to its fast f/2 aperture and advanced optical design, it delivers excellent sharpness, contrast, and color reproduction, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Fast F2 aperture – unlimited creativity
The f/2 aperture allows you to achieve beautiful background blur (bokeh) and work in low light without having to raise the ISO. This is especially important in sports and nature photography, where quick reaction time and the ability to capture decisive moments are crucial.
Advanced optical system
The lens is constructed with the highest quality optical elements, including FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) lenses, which minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure excellent sharpness from the center to the edges of the frame.
OS optical stabilization
The OS (Optical Stabilizer) system enables stable handheld photography even at longer exposure times, which is especially important at a 200 mm focal length.
Fast and precise autofocus
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) used in combination with the AF algorithm ensures lightning-fast, quiet and accurate focusing, both in photography and video.
Durable, sealed construction
The Sports series guarantees the highest durability – the lens is dust and splash resistant, and hydrophobic coatings protect against water, dust and fingerprints.
Compatibility with teleconverters
The lens is compatible with Sigma teleconverters, allowing you to increase the focal length to 280 mm (with TC-1401) or 400 mm (with TC-2001) while maintaining high image quality.

The Sony FE 16mm F1.8 G is a fast ultra-wide angle lens for landscape photography and content creation. Despite its relatively large aperture, it is compact and lightweight. This makes it ideal for smaller full-frame cameras. An additional advantage is that the minimum focusing distance is particularly short, allowing the capture of striking close-up images. The lens features an aperture ring, which can be locked or declicked. This makes it well-suited for video as well as photography. Outdoor use in inclement weather is possible too, thanks to the dust and moisture resistant construction. Best of all, the lens is very reasonably priced.

It features a redesigned optical formula with two XA and two ED elements, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness even wide open at F1.4, while preserving the signature creamy bokeh. The autofocus system is exceptionally fast and reliable. The design is noticeably lighter and better balanced, and it adds a more tactile aperture ring and dual customizable buttons. With its improved optics, precise AF, and professional-grade weather-sealing, this is an ideal lens for portrait photography.

This outstanding standard zoom lens is designed for professional photographers and videographers who shoot such things as weddings and events, and who want to use a larger aperture than f/2.8 without giving up the flexibility of a zoom. This constant f/2 zoom in a compact form delivers fantastic optical quality, producing sharp, clean images regardless of the focal length, aperture, or focus distance. Despite its large aperture, it offers fast, silent autofocus and it’s also a perfectly practical size. A comprehensive set of controls is onboard, including an aperture ring that can be switched between clicked and smooth operation. It’s a really special lens that’s an impressive achievement by Sony.
Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 GM:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Our lens of the year is the world’s first telephoto zoom for full-frame mirrorless cameras with a large, constant, aperture of f/2. Designed for professional photographers and videographers shooting such things as portraits, weddings, indoor sports and events, it delivers top-notch image quality in a compact form, thanks to the advanced optics of the G Master series. This ensures outstanding sharpness and image clarity across the entire image area. The bright f/2 aperture allows for clear separation of the subject from the background, while the 11-blade diaphragm provides smooth blur. This makes it one of the best lenses on the market.
