I was able to get out at sunrise this past Sunday for my first landscape shoot with the A7RII and the FE 16-35 lens.   So far I am loving this camera.  I forgot to turn off steadyshot, so I lost a few frames that were totally blurred out.  With my Canons, the churning sound of the IS was a dead giveaway that IS was still on, so it was easy not to forget to turn it off.  With the A7RII I'm not used to having such a silent camera.  Dynamic range, especially in the shadows is amazing compared to the 5DIII. 

 

Both these shots were taken with a 2 stop hard GND and a the Lee square circular polarizer.  I did notice that it was a little hard to see the polarization effect on the back screen, but this could have been due to it reducing the light transmission by 1,5 stops and the fact that it was already really dark at sunrise.

Wow nice pics! What do you think about the 16-35 in combination with the A7RII? I am thinking about getting both... Is the 16-35 sharp enough for 42 megapixels?

Thanks.  So far I really like the lens.  The weight and feel of it is really nice on the A7RII.  The zoom ring is nice and tight, so it's easy to adjust and there is no zoom creep.  Feels way better than my old 17-40. 

 

It's funny you ask about the sharpness.  I took some brick wall shots at a range of apertures on the tripod today at the back of my office to see if I got a good copy of the lens.  All reviews say this lens has excellent sharpness across the range.

Okay cool. Guess I'll get both in that case... Thanks!

Nice shots!

 

Did you get a sharp copy? Some early A7rii sample pics taken with that lens looked a little soft from the moderate onwards, it would be good to confirm its capable of resolving this sensor across the frame, and any weak spots.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
