Sony Improves Camera UHS-II Speeds to Match XQD

  • Alik Griffin
  • November 24, 2019
  • 11 comments
I've just wrapped up some of my memory card benchmarks in the Sony A7rIV and noticed something very interesting and exciting. Sony has dramatically improved the speed of UHS-II memory cards in their mirrorless cameras. A few cards in the Sony A7rIV are now clearing the buffer at a rate of about 200MB/s which is very similar to the XQD speeds in the Nikon Z7.

If you live in a humid climate, you know how quickly mold and fungus can consume everything. The same is true of your lenses and camera gear.  Humidity is a killer, feeding any mold spores that have made their way into lenses, creating fuzzy spots that will ruin your glass. I've even had it happen to one of my lenses when living in Los Angeles and it's not even that humid there. Here are some really cool and inexpensive tricks to protect your lenses from humidity.

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.
