Jason Lanier’s gear I use #7 covers the Sony 90mm F2.8 Macro G on the Sony a7RII, which is a great lens by almost all accounts for macro work, but people have a variety of opinions about this lens for portraiture. I wish he would have also demoed this lens on the Sony a6300 for good measure, but most people buying at this price point and size are going to us an a7.

DXO completed testing the Sony a99 Mark II and as expected the translucent mirror affected it’s ability to perform against the Sony a7R Mark II in image quality. The camera still outperforms the a7R Mark II in AF most of the time, but that has always been the trade off of translucent mirror technology and is why it fell out of favor with most photographers.

The Gary Fong Bounce Panel is a very interesting bounce flash add-on for the Sony A6xxx series of cameras.
Compact and versatile, the unique hot-shoe mounted diffuser elevates and disperses the pop-up flash in a unique and powerful way. As a bounce panel, the compact pop-up flash becomes exponentially larger, resulting in softer light on the subject, reducing the harsh side- shadows and hot-spots that pop-up flashes often create.
FEATURES:
- Compact and versatile solution to reduce the harsh side-shadows and hot-spots of pop up flashes
- Half Cloud Panel is for more efficient use, and neutral tones ideally suited for event candids.
- Amber Panel designed to mimic warmth of setting sun or the color temperature of tungsten lighting for proper balance
- Set includes both versions (Half-Cloud, Amber)
- Doubles as LCD screen protector
*compatible with Sony a6000 / a6300 / a6500
