Sony Star Eater Petition

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 5, 2017


If you care about IQ and image purity than you should support the correction of the star eater noise reduction problem currently plaguing Sony’s lineup of cameras. I spend a lot of time and money on my astrophotography, which is why I don’t use Sony cameras for it, but if you only shoot Sony this issue should concern you. You should also be concerned about how this might affect the fine details of your regular long exposure landscape photography if you are not into astrophotography. At the very least Sony should have multiple settings for this issue. You can find the petition at change.org

On a side note please don’t spam comments to get me to post something. We have a contact forum for a reason and I will respond to just about any reasonable request. If you self-promote in comments your comments will either be deleted or ignored. If email isn’t your thing then you can contact me through the Sonyaddict facebook page for a more immediate response.

Metz WT-1 For Sony

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 4, 2017


Wireless Trigger WT-1
Flash unlimited.
Metz is presenting a wireless solution especially for photographers who no longer wish to be restrained by a slave flash unit due to sunlight or other obstacles, and therefore turn to an off-camera flash. The Metz wireless solution comes in a kit that includes the Metz WT-1T transceiver (sender and receiver) and a Metz WT-1R Receiver. The wireless system supports TTL, manual and group modes. A maximum of three groups can be controlled. The recording mode and exposure correction for distance flashes can be set individually using the transceiver. The Metz WT-1T transceiver is equipped with an illuminated LCD display, which provides a clear overview of all settings. The system has a range of up to 300 meters. With its integrated sync cable connection, the Metz WT-1 Wireless Trigger can also be used with studio flash units.

Kai Wong: Sony a9 The Game Changer

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 3, 2017

Kai Wong covers some of the popular misconceptions about the Sony a9 and considers it to be one of the most insane cameras he has ever used for action. It’s quite amusing watching him shoot at 20fps in complete silence and talk about how insane the camera is performing. The Sony a9 is definitely something special, but it’s not a camera for everyone because it takes a lot of effort to not way over shoot.
