This will be a fun lens, and would be a nice fit for any of the APS-C or 7 C cameras. Used on FF you can switch to APS-C mode for 42MM. Release set for Aug 26 at $100 US

Viltrox finally shows the first prototype of the upcoming 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens. And yes, despite the super small size, this is a full frame lens with autofocus! The highlight is that this lens can be closed with the toggle switch on the side, turning it directly into a lens cap!

Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens specs:

  • Full Frame
  • Autofocus (VCM  coil motor)
  • Minimum shooting distance: 0.32m.
  • all-metal built
  • no manual focus ring
  • has a lever with built-in cap to close the lens
  • Price in YEN is 799 (about $100)
  • Launch on August 26
  • Sony E and Nikon Z

Like I told you last week…this is the perfect lens for Sony A7C camera owners!

Viltrox exhibited a 28/4.5 pancake E-mount full-frame autofocus pancake, with a silver ring on the lens body, which should be a good match with a7c

      ISO Bracketing

      By Richard A · Posted

      ISO 320 is the A7R5's second base ISO setting. You will find at ISO 320 you will get better results than even ISO 200. I normally take a set of shots at 1600, 3200 and 6400 ISO. I am taking 60 light frames and 10 dark frames. I don't do any adjustments to the files before stacking. I really need to get organised and do some bias frames now. Here is pretty much my first successful Milky Way shot from a few months ago. I was combatting a bit of ambient light and quite a lot of cloud but I'm pretty happy with this. It was shot using my Sigma 16-28 f2.8 which is better at astro than I had anticipated, at ISO 1600.

      ISO Bracketing

      Thanks for the information. Since my original post, I did some "experiments" at different iso settings. Best results were obtained at iso 320, and then increasing the exposure by four stops in Lightroom. The biggest difference compared to using a higher iso was that there was detail in dark foreground areas, while at high iso the dark areas were blocked. This is consistent with articles I've read about ISO invariance.

      I do a bit of astro photography and do a lot of research etc. on best settings to use. I have never heard of anyone using ISO bracketing! Typically, higher ISO settings such as 1600, 3200 or 6400 are used and multiple light and dark frames are stacked to reduce noise. If you are worried about noise in dark foreground areas then just use a seperate exposure for them then blend the exposures in post processing. By the way, I also have an A7R5.
