Falcon Heavy Launch Coverage

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 6, 2018


I am going to be at the Falcon Heavy launch today if you are interested in following this historic event. I hope to live stream the event on the FujiAddict Facebook page using Facebook live if cellular service is good enough. In the future, I will use Youtube live if more readers subscribe. Below you can find a list of all the equipment I am taking with me in my 35lbs backpack and a photo of it laid out along with some additional YouTube videos explaining the Launch. Please share the coverage once it starts so more people can participate. This coverage is for FujiAddict and SonyAddict because I will be shooting both systems side by side and seeing how it compares to the Canon/Nikon crowd. Read More »

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 5, 2018


Cosina Japan listed February 15th as the release date of the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 FE. Unfortunately, B&H Photo pulled their listing. Pre-orders should start soon though so check back. As I have said before this lens had a beautiful rendering on M-mount cameras and I hope Voigtlander maintains the look. Read More »

Sony a9 and Sony a7RIII Performance Shooting an NFL Game

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 4, 2018

Two Twenty Studios sent me the above video showing how the Sony a9 with FE 100-400mm and Sony a7RIII with FE 70-200mm performed shooting an NFL game and it’s a good look at the kind of performance you can expect from the combo. I am loving the Sony a7RIII AF-C performance and it’s more than enough for most, but the Sony a9 is clearly ahead in the above video, but maybe it’s lens related.

I am currently shooting with the FE 100-400mm with a 1.4x TC and it works flawlessly. I hope to see others shooting the launch Tuesday with Sony cameras and might Livestream some of it so be sure to follow the site and our social media for more details  SonyAddict on Facebook. Also, follow me on Instagram and YouTube, because I might use one of their platforms to go live if I don’t use Facebook live.

Meike Pro Battery Grip With Built-in 2.4GHz Remote Controller and Intervalometer Back in Stock and First Look

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 3, 2018

The first time the Meike Pro Battery Grip for Sony a9 and Sony a7RIII was in stock it sold out very quickly from Amazon. Now that a few photographers are getting the grip in hand we are getting some feedback on the quality of this unit. Michael Schmidt seems impressed with the quality of the grip but does say it feels a little cheap compared to the OEM Sony Grip, but likes the feedback of the buttons better than the Sony Grip. The Meike Pro Battery Grip also adds remote and intervalometer features.
