Dance + Sony A7RII + 85mm G Master

[leedannyh]

Hey, folks:

 

Here are some photos I shot of Marcus, a dancer based in NYC. I only just grabbed both the A7RII and Sony 85mm - just testing out the combo to see how well it works. It didn't disappoint! 

 

Camera: Sony A7RII

Lens: Sony 85mm 1.4 G Master

Location: FiDi, NYC

Great photos!

 

See 9n 500px that you worked with many cameras.

Do you mind recommending between D810 and a7rii?

Iso, hdr, iq and control are important while size and weight are not.

 

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't really factor size & weight too much. The weight of premium Sony glass tends to weight quite a bit more than Nikon glass (ex. the Nikon 35mm 1.4 + D810 feel lighter than the Sony A7RII + Sony Zeiss 35mm 1.4 - maybe it's just the balance). I find ISO 6400 to be extremely usable on both cameras. Re: dynamic range - I don't typically try and pull back anything more than 3 stops and both cameras do fine for the most part. The eye focus is quite handy and for portraits, I would probably choose the Sony every time. I'm not a big fan of continuous focus on the A7RII though (maybe it's because I'm just not used to it) - so any situation where I have to deal with quick abrupt motion or sports, you'll find me using either a Nikon or Canon body. I'm really hoping for a really solid A99 successor so that I can just go A-mount for everything.

 

But would I recommend one over the other? I love shooting with an EVF - after shooting Canon cinema cameras and other MILC systems - it's really hard to go back to using an OVF. Because of this, I'm currently shooting with Sony. If not for the EVF, I would have stayed with Nikon. I hope this helps.

 

Note: I also keep a Really Right Stuff L-Bracket on my A7RII because the extra length on the body feel so much better.
