Picture



On this episode #8 “We Shoot Mirrorless” podcast episode for November 2017, Scott and Marco discuss these new products and mirrorless topics:

This show is sponsored by B&H: https://bhpho.to/2htc5AL


​Scott shares his experiences from visit Photo Plus Expo in New York and Marco talks about his 48h trip to Berlin.  
  • Sony announced a new camera. The a7rIII 42MP full frame camera comes with some nice speed, shutter and battery improvements.

  • Sony also announced two new lenses for their mirrorless E mount. The Sony FE 24-105 f4 G OSS lens is a fairly light and versatile zoom. And the FE 400mm f2.8 GM OSS is still in development and is expected to launch in summer 2018.

  • Olympus announced two new fast prime lenses from their PRO lineup. According to Scott and some early reviewers the M.ZUIKO Digital ED 17mm F1.2 PRO and M.ZUIKO Digital ED 45mm F1.2 PRO will be game changers for their light gathering and shallow depth of field and bokeh. The lenses can be pre-ordered now.

45mm f1.2: https://bhpho.to/2AvF4aM

  • Canon introduced the PowerShot G1 X Mark III. It is a fixed zoom lens camera that has a 24 MP APS-C sensor with dual pixel AF and Digic 7 processor and a fixed 24-72mm equivalent zoom lens with the fastest aperture between f2.8-5.6. It shoots bursts of up to 9fps and can record video at 1080/60p video. It weighs only 400g or 14oz and is like a fixed zoom lens version of the EOS M5 interchangeable lens camera.

  • Hasselblad adds two new lenses to their lens roadmap. The XCD 80mm (63mm FF equivalent - aperture is still unknown) and the XCD 135mm f2.8 plus a dedicated 1.7x teleconverter.

  • Hasselblad has released a firmware update for the X1D.  This FW 1.19  update adds more options to make the camera more overall more customizable. They have also added support for V system lenses.
 
  • Leica now offers their 28mm full frame fixed focal length Leica Q camera in a silver edition.

  • Leica has resurrected the old Thambar-M 90mm f2.2 lens. A classic lens from the 1930s that is known for its extremely soft and blurry images and bubbly bokeh wide open. The main difference to the traditional model is that it comes with an M instead of a screw mount.

  • Fujifilm announced a square format Instax printer. The Share SP-3 SQ prints to the Instax square instant film and can print directly from your Fuji X camera or it can be used as a printer connected to your computer or smartphone. Each print takes about 13 seconds and each battery charge is good for about 160 prints.

  • Nikon closes its camera and lens factory in China where about 2500 workers are employed. Nikon blames the rise of smartphones for this drastic step. Nikon also seizes their camera sales in Brazil.


Mirrorless question of the month:
Hi Scott and Marco, I’m a new listener and love your approach to do different topic shows in your feed each month. I am currently a Canon 5D MK III shooter and you guys have convinced me that I can switch to mirrorless cameras without sacrificing IQ.
I do mainly portrait and travel photography and I’m wondering if I could get away with buying a less expensive mirrorless camera (i.e. Olympus E-M10 MK II, Fuji X-A3 or Sony a6000) and rather spend extra money on pro-grade lenses?
Would I lose AF speed, accuracy, or IQ on those lower end models compared to the higher end ones?

Jim from Valdosta, Georgia

Scott & Marco,

I am listener of WeShoot mirrorless, and before that I was listening to WeShoot Fuji podcasts. I always had a fascination for Fuji cameras and after my Ricoh GR II died on me I was in the market for small companion camera - something like Fuji X-E3 / Canon 6 / etc. Even waited for the PhotoPlus Expo - to experience those cameras and have a chat with you. Unfortunately I couldn’t find you during my brief visit.

In one of your recent podcasts you mentioned an interesting point about the lenses availability for the camera vs sensor, speed of focusing, and Marco’s great point about tilting screens. All these points made me turn my head to Olympus line of cameras. I played with Fuji-XE3, but the feel of Olympus OMD 10 Mark III was something special. All the functionality, and shortcuts of the newly designed menu system were intuitive and took me very short time to feel comfortable with. What I want to say is that for a newcomer of Olympus lineup - it was a great experience. The touch screen, focusing, controls, etc - are excellent. Very happy with the purchase, paring the camera with M.Zuiko 12-40 f2.8 Pro - makes it great for majority of the situations. Olympus lenses are very compact, light, good quality, and affordable. Info for your listeners: the current Olympus sale offers $300 discount toward purchase of any pro lens when you get OMD or PEN camera….

I do not know what exactly is the meaning of “Olympus Visionary” - but your points about the Olympus system were very much on target and influenced me. Your work with Olympus system is very beautiful. From your work I did gauge excellent point about bird photography and background… Marco is also a great photographer:). Great podcast - hoping to hear you soon. Happy holiday season to you and Marco!

Just caught the podcast and really enjoyed it! Also I am very humbled and honored that you selected my photo for your monthly image. I shot it in Upper Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona. That location is such an incredible place to shoot and there are so many angles and perspectives. I converted to bw because I think it made for a more compelling image by emphasizing the different textures and areas of light throughout the image. Again, thanks so much and have a great holiday season! You can more about the tour I went on to get the shot here: http://egearingphoto.blogspot.com/2017/10/sand-falls.html
