Camera Hire’s Sony Range Boosted

Sony FE 70-200mm f/4.0 G OSS Lens

Lovers of Sony will be pleased this New Year as Camera Hire adds three new lenses and an external flash to our growing range.Sony FE 70-200mm f/4.0 G OSS Lens

The all new Sony 16-35mm f/4, 24-70mm f/4 and 70-200mm f/4 lenses each boast superior optics, a constant f/4 maximum aperture offering consistent performance throughout the zoom range and Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation, which serves to minimise the appearance of camera shake by up to four shutter speed steps.

Also new is the Sony HVL-F60M Flash, a dedicated external flash and video light designed for both photographers and videographers. The HVL-F60M delivers high-illumination output with an effective range of more than 90′ (28 m) and guide number 60. High Speed Synchronisation mode enables the flash to sync with shutter speeds from 1/500 to 1/4000 of a second to catch fast-moving subjects.

All three Sony lenses and the HVL-F60M Flash are compatible with the very much in demand A7s Mirrorless Digital Camera. The lenses can also be used with the Sony FS7 and FS700 video cameras, without the need for a lens adapter.

Based in Sydney, Camera Hire services photographers and film-makers throughout Australia. We stock a huge range of cameras, lenses and accessories. Our brands include Sony, Canon, Nikon, GoPro, Panasonic, Blackmagic, Sigma, Zeiss, Tokina and many others.
