The Solar Eclipse will take place on August 21, 2017 is going to have a totality (full magnitude) stripe across the nation from the southeast corner to the northwest corner. Sony Alpha Universe recently has posted a article about how to photography a solar eclipse use Sony gears. B&H Photo Video has a page to shop all related Solar Eclipse gears.
Below is a list of Sony gears to photograph a Solar Eclipse by AlphaUniverse:
Cameras
- Sony a7R II. My high-resolution camera with the PlayMemories Timelapse camera app installed.
- Sony a9. It’s just plain fast. Not really knowing what to expect with regards to the diamond ring shots, I want to be sure I can capture every split second.
- 360-degree camera. Like I said, I’ll be having a 360 degree sunset?
Lenses
- Sony 35mm f/1.4 lens. I love this lens. I will use it to photograph the area leading up to the eclipse.
- Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master lens. For everything I don’t need a telephoto to shoot.
- Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G Master lens. A telephoto that is sharp and very easy to handle? Yes, please.
- Minolta 500mm f/8 Reflex lens. You can never really have enough telephotos at an eclipse, can you? To mount this on my Sony mirrorless bodies I’ll use an adapter.
