NA-A7RIII for Sony a7R III
42.4MP Full-Frame, 10 fps, 4K with 5-Axis IS in a Mirrorless!
The Sony a7R III is the company’s latest high-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera. Following hot on the heels of Nikon’s recent D850 release, Sony’s newest full-frame camera also combines resolution with high speed shooting and fast autofocus capabilities to a degree we’ve not previously seen.

If you took advantage of the Sigma ART sale and own a Sony a7RIII with Sigma MC-11 you are probably pretty happy with your purchases. It looks like the combination works very well together. I don’t personally adapt glass beside Leica M-mount, but I know a lot of photographers do that shoot two systems or have preferences. Sigma ART lenses are very well known and respected so I am sure there are many that would love to use them on Sony cameras and maybe we will be able to use them natively someday, but until then we will have to settle for the Sigma MC-11 adapter.
The Adapter even works with video, but you might not like the video color performance as much as the Sony a7RII if that was your previous Sony camera. The first color comparison video has emerged and the default profiles look a little inferior. In fact, it might take quite a bit of work to make the Sony a7RIII look as good as the Sony a7RII. Beyond color, the Sony a7RIII does seem to perform significantly better than the Sony a7RII while recording video, but color correcting video can be a chore depending on how particular you are and how familiar you are with the process.

Godox X1T-S Firmware V16 for Sony was released with a few updates included:
1. To make a compensation to the TTL output value at large aperture setting.
2. To add Fn-10 in custom function settings. When setting as 01, the AF-assist function can be used on Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera (some cameras e.g. A9, A7, etc.).
3. To solve the problem that the ISO will change to 819200 from 100 when A7RM2 camera is using the high-speed continuous shooting in M mode.
4. To add Fn-11 in custom function settings, so that the customer can set RFID.

The Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS and Silver Sony a6300 that were announced a few days ago are now available for preorder. It’s interesting how Sony expands the available colors of older cameras as newer ones become available like the a6500 and soon to be announced Sony a6700. I wonder what kind of research Sony has done into camera segmentation and color that leads to these decisions. I could be interesting if the original Sony a7 eventually reached a price point low enough for this to start happening.
