Great presentation as usual. I am a Sony user with A6500, A7r3 and you do a great job helping us get the most out of our gear. Sony needs to have you officially on their team. !

[Photomeike]

Congrats on the presentation. Has Sony added you their line up yet? You do a great job promoting their products. And being that you are pursuing a YouTube career. They would be smart to have someone on their team that is dedicated to this space. #justsaying.

Really enjoy it. Big fan of your Monday Night lives, it provides me with something to listen to while I fall asleep at night. Wait, that sounds bad...

Great talk man! Always interesting, I had some holes in my knowledge I would never have known about without this vid!

[jmsmallville]

Man Jason you have charisma bro. Definitely know what your talking abojt

[BlissfulGardening]

Very nice Jason. I hope the Sony A7III will be the perfect wedding camera with dual SD card and rumor specs

[babalee]

I was at the Fri talk.  You did nice job on the presentation.  I want to try using Spark now as well

Hey Jason, very informative topic you just made here. Good job👍👍👍 Question, when you mentioned you crank up your shutter instead of using ND filter to keep your aperture wide open, what speed do you go on a bright day light say if you'd like to maintain on a 1.4 or 1.8 aperture?

9:33 - he mentions you can use MC-11 adapter with sigma lenses, rather than more expensive SONY lenses, but I think he mentioned in another video that the SIGMA lenses are noisy when focusing, so you need the mic away from the camera during that time. Not sure, but I think he said that.

Jason, great video presentation. What program did you use to for the presentation? I really like the fixed background and the sliding comment box. Looks almost like you were presenting from a webpage. Definitely better than your average PowerPoint presentation.

Love this type of videos, super helpful! Thanks! :)

Jason, brilliant vlog and very informative. Would it be possible for you to do a video on the AF points on a sony mirrorless. I have the a7r MKII and transitioned from a DSLR and cant get to grips with the manual movement of the af point and I think others would benefit from it as well as theirs not much about it on the web. cheers

Great vid Jason! Always so helpful and informative. Quick question. I have the A6500 and using Rokinon 12mm for video. Debating between Crane and Crane-M. Really can only afford M but wondering if weight load will be too much? Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Jason,

Question, i noticed that you mentioned the MC-11 working well with sigma lenses and fully utilizing the a6500's phase detection technology, i was wondering if you had a similar experience with the metabones smart adapter utilizing the phase detection technology with sigma lenses, or perhaps canon as well?

I have a A7RII and just am starting getting into video (of my first child). Do you not follow the 180 degree rule for shooting video? In one of your screen grabs showing off the face tracking it looks like you are using 24p and a shutter speed of 1/250. I am trying to find the right look for 4k24p super35 on the a7rii.

dope. looking forward to jump from nikon to Sony very soon.

[markshirley]

Jason do you think a A6500 is able to video wedding dances in low light with a fast lens say at F1.8.

[JoakimGulbrandsen]

Jason - how is it with the Sony adapters, I have several APS-C Amount lenses, will these work with the LA-EA4 adapter? Or will it crop down?
