Metabones Mark IV Lens Mount Adapter Improved Performance

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 14, 2024
  • No comments
Metabones earlier this year released its Mark IV version of the Lens Mount Adapter. These adapters allow you to use your Canon or Nikon lenses on your Sony E mount bodies with full aperture control. The previous Mark III version of the adapter had a lot of problems with many Canon lenses. The new adapter has many new improvements to consider and a lot of new lenses added to its compatibility list.

How To Reduce Rolling Shutter With The Sony A7s

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 14, 2024
  • One comment
If you've purchased and been shooting with the Sony A7s, you may have noticed that it has one of the worst rolling shutters ever in a full-frame camera. It's so bad, in fact, that it really limits you to making landscape travel videos with a twiddly little music bed that you'll likely only post on Vimeo—after you color-grade it to look like an Instagram photo, of course.

Samsung Pro U3 SD Memory Card Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • November 13, 2017
  • No comments
The Samsung Pro U3 is a great card for the price. It performs about the same as the Sandisk Extreme Plus. Where as the Samsung Pro+ performs close to the Sandisk Extreme Pro.  This makes the Samsung card great for cameras that don't demand a super fast memory card, or cameras that are more video focused. I was even fast enough for 4k in the Canon 5D IV, which puts out a crazy high bitrate video of 500MB/s. Albeit, The Samsung Pro was on the boarder of acceptable and I recommend a faster card for that camera. But every other camera this card should work great with except Sony. Sony cameras have compatibility issues with Samsung cards.
