Commlite High-Speed CM-EF-E HS

Canon EOS-E-mount (Commlite CM-EF-E HS):

Commlite CM-EF-E HS is a next-generation adapter that is designed to mount Canon EF and Canon EF-S Canon EF-S lenses on Sony E-mount cameras.

From previous versions of this adapter differs in that it has, in addition to supporting a conventional system of contrast autofocusing, also has a phase autofocus. Switching between these systems takes place by means of a corresponding button on the adapter ring housing. The main advantage of phase autofocus before contrast is the speed of operation.

Inside the adapter has a special anti-reflective coating in the form of a spiral, which prevents re-reflection inside the ring and provides an ideal cleanliness of the photos.

Another innovation is the adapter firmware update system, which will help to quickly correct mistakes and make improvements. The firmware is updated with the standard USB-MicroUSB cable.

Sony a7III: Professional Performance For an Entry Level Price

There is still Sony a7III coverage trickling out after WPPI from various sources, but there hasn’t been much negative coverage. Beyond PDAF artifacting that was spotted in the DPReview sample photos, which are typical of all on-sensor phase detection AF systems the a7III looks like it’s kicking off the next generation of mirrorless full frame cameras with great acclaim. Now Nikon and Canon have a lot to live up to this year and if they can’t maybe we will see another delay of their mirrorless full frame systems.

Sony a7III: Settings, Sports, Video Performance, and More

It seems the Sony a7III launch event was really meant to show off how the a7III is a full frame camera for everyone. Sony has somewhat compressed the entire full frame market into the a7III except for high resolution and high ISO, which is an interesting move. It seems Sony’s strategy going forward might be High-ISO Full Frame, High-Frame Rate Full Frame, High-Resolution Full Frame, and then their catch all the Sony a7III. They even have a great pricing structure in space 2k, 3k, 4k. This could cause an interesting shift in marketing from Canon/Nikon going forward and I wonder if we might see a similar lineup from there APS-C NEX line-up if Sony gets serious about APS-C again, which they promised to do multiple times before.
