Sony Releases New Accessories Within Its Alpha™ Camera Range

Sony has released two new accessories within its Alpha™ camera range.

Catering to the needs of professional photographers who frequently shoot in inclement weather or carry a super-telephoto Alpha lens over long distances, the new accessories provide comprehensive protection for Alpha camera gear.

To assist photographers dedicated to outdoor pursuits, a rain cover will be available from December that protects equipment from rain and snow, in addition a soft carrying case that balances protection and mobility for super-telephoto Alpha lenses will also be available from January.

Rain Cover
The new rain cover is designed to withstand tough conditions and will protect your camera and lens even when shooting in rain or snow. It is made from breathable material (water vapour permeability of 20,000 g/m2/24h or higher1) preventing moisture build-up even during long periods of shooting.

The fastening strap makes the cover fast and easy to attach and remove, so you can quickly protect your equipment even in the event of sudden weather changes. When not in use, it can be folded away and stored conveniently in the attached pouch.

It includes a transparent window to ensure visibility of the viewfinder, monitor, and control panel on compatible Sony cameras during use, allowing shooting whilst protecting the equipment.

The rain cover will be available in two sizes large (LCR-EL) and small (LCR-ES), so you can choose the best fit for the lens being used and can be purchased in both black and white. All variations will be available to purchase from December for £150 / €180.

Soft Carrying Case for Super-Telephoto Alpha Lenses
The new soft carrying case for Super-Telephoto Alpha Lenses has been carefully designed to ensure supreme protection of equipment from dust and scratches. It is designed with a conical shape, making it the perfect fit for storing and carrying compatible Sony lenses, a great addition to the range to support outdoor photography for sports events, bird and wildlife photography.

For easy transportation, it includes both shoulder straps and handles to allow for multiple carrying options, by hand, over the shoulder or crossbody.

The large opening zipper mechanism enables easy lens removal and the internal anti-drop strap secures the lens when the zipper is left open in case of accidental drops.
