2015 has been a wonderful year for us here at MirrorLessons. Not only have we had the chance to test and review lots of awesome products, but we also moved to Wales, the country whose beauty captured Heather’s heart when she was a young child, and subsequently Mathieu’s when he visited six years ago. It is a decision we haven’t regretted, despite the “occasional” spell of rough weather! 😉

It has been an exciting year on the mirrorless front as well, with many new cameras and lenses being released and a greater acceptance of mirrorless systems as professional tools. Our feeling is that 2016 will be even better!

They just keep on coming! – The new Sony RX1r II is announced

14/10/2015 By Mathieu 3 Comments

If you were thinking that the announcements for this year were over, the last few days have proven quite the contrary. Today Sony surprised everyone by announcing the successor to the original RX1/RX1r cameras released 3 years ago. The RX1 was the first compact camera with a full-frame sensor and a prelude to more full-frame products that Sony would release later on in the form of the A7 system. This new mark II version keeps the same stunning 35mm f/2 Zeiss Sonnar lens and couples it with the 42MP A7r mark II sensor. But that’s not all!
