Apotelyt: Sony a6100 vs Fujifilm X-A7


Apotelyt released their Sony a6100 vs Fujifilm X-A7 Comparison, which you can view here. Below are a summary of Apotelyt’s conclusions.

Arguments in favor of the Fujifilm X-A7:

  • Larger screen: Has a bigger rear LCD (3.5″ vs 3.0″) for image review and settings control.
  • More detailed LCD: Has a higher resolution rear screen (2760k vs 922k dots).
  • More flexible LCD: Has a swivel screen for odd-angle shots in portrait or landscape orientation.
  • Less heavy: Is lighter (by 76g or 19 percent) and hence easier to carry around.

Reasons to prefer the Sony Alpha A6100:

  • Better live-view autofocus: Features on-sensor phase-detection for more confident autofocus.
  • Easier framing: Has an electronic viewfinder for image framing and settings control.
  • Faster burst: Shoots at higher frequency (11 vs 6 flaps/sec) to capture the decisive moment.
  • Longer lasting: Gets more shots (420 versus 270) out of a single battery charge.
  • Easier device pairing: Supports NFC for fast wireless image transfer over short distances.

NOVOFLEX Automatic Bellows For E-Mount Coming Mid-September


NOVOFLEX is expanding its product portfolio
Automatic Bellows

Bellows have been part of NOVOFLEX’s core range since 1969 – the year of the first moon landing – and are used by macro photographers worldwide. From now on, users of the camera systems Canon EOS, Canon EOS-R, Fujifilm X, L-mount (Leica, Panasonic, Sigma), MicroFourThirds (Olympus, Panasonic), Nikon Z and Sony E-Mount with the proven NOVOFLEX automatic -Balgengeräte immerse yourself in the fascinating world of close and macro photography.

It does not get any more convenient because all control information between the camera and the lens is transmitted. Already with the camera lenses, image scales of 1: 1 and larger can be realized. The ideal solution is the high-resolution, apochromatically corrected Apo Digitar 4.5 / 90 mm objective head (order code: FLEX-APO-DIGI90) from Schneider Kreuznach, which allows focusing from 1: 1 to infinity. Since the new automatic bellows units are perfectly integrated into the NOVOFLEX “modular system”, there is nothing standing in the way of later upgrading to the use of manual lenses. In addition, the lenses can also be used in retro position on the bellows devices. NOVOFLEX also has the corresponding close-up adapter in its extensive product portfolio.

Furthermore, the new automatic bellows units are also of interest for cameras with internal stacking function, as now also image scales over 1: 1 can be realized.

Camera system order code

Canon EOS BAL-EOS

Canon EOS-R BAL-EOSR

Fujifilm X BAL-FUX

L-Mount BAL-LET

MicroFourThirds BAL-MFT

Nikon Z BAL-NIKZ

Sony E-Mount BAL-NEX

The automatic bellows devices are available from mid-September and cost 799, – Euro (RRP). The FLEX-APO-DIGI90 is available at an EIA of € 1,099.00.

Zeiss ZX1 Registered In Asia With New Pictures


The Zeiss ZX1 was registered with an Asian certification authority and it was spotted with pictures. Hopefully, this means the delayed camera will start shipping soon. I have no doubt that the Zeiss ZX1 will be a very hot camera going forward if Zeiss releases it at around the right price point. I hope they can meet or beat the Sony RX1‘s price point. B&H Photo has had the camera listed for a while now without a price though.
