Sony’s inaugural Scene Tradeshow

[Richard A]

I just got a ticket to Sony’s inaugural Scene Tradeshow at the old White Bay Power Station in Sydney on September 28.

Sony Scene Tradeshow

Should be interesting...

 

[FowlersFreeTime]

Wow. That looks cool! I thought that kind of event would be invitation only.

Sadly, it’s Sydney only - not visiting the rest of the country.

Enjoy, Richard!

 

[Richard A]

Yes. Just lucky for me I'll be in Sydney. I leave on Friday. There is other stuff going on as well, some of it around the country I think. I don't know if there is anything you would be interested in. There was a free thing here on Sunday morning in the botanical gardens but I wasn't available unfortunately.

I’ve been to some of the other events, but they are regular Sony Scene events - this show looked like more. A friend of mine is going, so I expect to hear what I missed out on :-D Still, I’ll survive (unless they are handing out free lenses…)

 

[Uncle Kevriano]

Nice. It will either be really cool, or very dull!

 

[Richard A]

I'm looking forward to it. It says they'll have a lot of gear to try out. Hopefully they'll have some models to photograph & stuff like that. Things like this rarely come to Adelaide so I thought I might as well make the most of it while I'm there. I'm going to be in Sydney for four weeks so this will be a good chance to get away from the wife for a whole day as well!

This is in the program:

• Get hands on with every full frame lens currently available in Sony's line up, including the newly announced 85mm F1.4 II G Master, 300mm F2.8 G Master, 400mm F2.8 G Master, and 600mm F4 G Master.

Also, everyone gets a free sensor clean. Mine is still pristine so far though.

There's no emoji for "Jealous of your good fortune, good sir!"

So I went to the tradeshow today. I spent all day there. There was plenty of gear to play with. They had every single Sony lens there. Plenty of bodies to play with but mainly the vlogging variety. I did get to play with an A9III - photographing a young lad swinging a golf club. There were a few models - a pretty brunette one & several scaley reptilian ones. All the Sony staff were very friendly & knowledgeable. The experts (for want of a better word) doing presentations etc. were very accommodating. There were a few traders including Epson & Asus plus some local distributors. All up I had an enjoyable day & actually learned a few things as well.

It was hot here today, 40℃, so I was staying inside. Thought I should pull my finger out and get some photos on here from this event. It was nearly three months ago!
