"I shot this image with the Sony A7II + 35mm 1.4 Zeiss Lens. Meeting and conversing with Anne led up to this shot along with the lighting and background of the river. The 35mm is defiantely my go-to lens because of its depth of field and insane bokeh." - Malik (@jeelego)
Our Second Annual Sony Rooftop Event was an absolute blast! We’re definitely a ‘behind the lens’ kinds of team, but we enjoyed getting to meet our community in person. Plus, Joe Brady gave a killer talk, Sony came through with the latest and greatest gear, and you guys took some amazing photographs! (And it didn’t rain – phew .) After searching tirelessly through Instagram, we’re excited to bring you our top five favorite photographs from the night.

“Here is an image I took while at the Sony & Focus event of one of the lovely models there. It was a pleasure to attend this event. I used the Sony A7Rii with the 85G master lens at f/1.4 and tested how great the low light power of the camera and amazing bokeh of the lens was.” – Shawn Fonseca (@viewbeyondsight)
“I took this picture with the Sony a7Rii with the 24-70mm 2.8 @ 70mm iso 6400 1/25s. This camera and lens combo is godly. The only downfall is how heavy and big this lens is, however the quality is simply amazing.” – Jeffrey Cheung (@heffries)
“I exclusively used Sony a7R II with FE 85mm f/1.4 GM lens for the duration of the event. I’m not a Sony user, so I was pretty amazed by the image quality and the camera body’s features (spot lock-on autofocus!). The rooftop with the view of Manhattan in the distance made for a fantastic shooting experience.” – Scott Rogers (@slrls)
“I came to the event excited to try out the Sony A7 R II. As a canon user, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was lightweight and I figured I stick to my favorite lens ( 24-70 2.8). The setup was easy going like Tamara. I wanted to capture her cool demeanor with the skyline at her back.” – Jordan Thomas (@jaydotthomas)
