Sony a99II Review Roundup

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 29, 2017

Sony A-Mount isn’t quite dead yet and maybe Sony has a few more tricks up their sleeve for the system. If they release more A-mount cameras in the future it could mark the return of the mount, but if we don’t see another camera in the next year or two it might just be a case of them continuing to care for their loyal A-mount lens owners. Either way reviews seem to universally like the Sony a99II.

Imaging-Resource – “The Sony A99 II is a bold statement that the Sony A-mount is alive and well for enthusiasts and professionals alike.”

Photographyblog – “Sony has produced an excellent camera with the A99 II, following on from the excellent work of the original A99.”

Real Right Stuff L-plate For Sony a99 II

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 24, 2017

 


Overview
Really Right Stuff camera body plates are all custom designed for each camera body and precision machined from solid blocks of 6061-T6 aluminum. Fully compatible with any Arca-Swiss style quick-release system, our plates feature precisely contoured anti-twist flanges for a perfect fit that prevents twisting between the camera and our plate. All of our quick-release plates utilize a custom machined ¼”-20 threaded, captive-style mounting screw that threads into the tripod mounting socket of your camera body.

As part of a modular system, this conventional base plate still functions as a traditional camera mounting plate, but also has the added flexibility of accepting a separate dedicated vertical L-component to create a fully modular L-plate with two dovetail mounting surfaces. You can purchase the dedicated vertical L-component as a separate add-on, or as a set package with the base plate.

Features

  • CNC machined 6061-T6 Aluminum
  • Anodized; Type II Black
  • Anti-twist pin provides extra secure fit with custom flange
  • Safety-stop screw
  • Laser engraved center marks
  • Magnetic 5/32″ Hex key storage
  • Boss for accessory hand strap

Sony Alpha & Minolta Camera History

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 23, 2017

Tony & Chelsea Northrup created another excellent camera history video. Their Fujifilm history was spot on and in some ways the Sony/Minolata story is even better.
