very good lens for Black and White Dionisis Partheniadis Photography

Just received my Sony 50mm 1.4 and brought it with me to a recent shoot for a jewelry fabricator. I was really pleased with the lens, bokeh was sweet, focus was fairly responsive and the colors/contrast was very good. It was a challenging day, heavy heavy rains, a tornado alert during the shoot, then followed by flood warnings. Nonetheless, the team carried on and I decided the lens earned a permanent spot in my gear bag! Glad I bought it.

This is just fun speculation, not based on any evidence, but . . . What if Sony and Zeiss colluded to delay widespread release of the Batis 85mm until the G-Master 85 was announced? There's some logic behind this. Sony and Zeiss enjoy a partnership where what's good for one is also good for the other, so: 1. If Sony decided to pull the trigger on the GM 85 lens after Zeiss had already announced the Batis, Sony could rightfully fear that the in the interval between the release of the Batis and the release of the GM 85, everybody who wanted an 85mm lens would have purchased the Batis. 2. This would naturally reduce the demand for the GM 85. 3. Customers who bought the Batis might later regret their decision, and express anger at Sony for foisting a superior (allegedly) product on the market only months after they'd bought their Batis. 4. Delaying widespread release (hey, I've already got mine, but I ordered way back in July) would therefore allow the products to compete on their merits, and; 5. With the market still relatively wide open, consumers would be able to make an educated choice of which lens to buy, which is ultimately better for everybody. What do you guys think? Makes sense, right? Again, I just pulled this out of my ass - it's total speculation.

Finally got a chance to bring outside the Sony GM 85 1.4 for some portraits in natural light. Coupled it to Sony a7ii, Eye-AF works almost fine although only in AF-S mode, however can't wait for the Sony A7iii to be released and hop on a A7r2 Summer Wind Was Always Our Song by Stefano Dessi, su Flickr In the Shade by Stefano Dessi, su Flickr Tell Me by Stefano Dessi, su Flickr All photos processed on C1

From the album: Rokkor 50 1.4 on Sony a6000
Took a shot of this silk tree, what we southerners call mimosa, outside my mother-in-law's house with my Minolta Rokkor 50mm 1.4 on a Sony a6000. -
From the album: Rokkor 50 1.4 on Sony a6000
Shot this guy like 15 minutes after buying a cheap Minolta 1:1 extension tube from our local camera shop for $10. Added it to my 50 1.4 Rokkor and a6000 and found this guy behind the building. Right place, right time. Shot handheld. -
In Part II of my Review for the Sony A7II Firmware 2.0 Update i´m comparing 3 affordable autofocus adapters Canon to Sony E-Mount. The contenders: Commlite Viltrox Fotga I´m also taking a quick look on the uncompressed RAW feature which is now available on the Sony A7II. Get some popcorn and beer and watch my video! http://www.dsphotoblog.com/?p=390

Got my new lens yesterday the Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art Canon Mount and the commlite adapter. The sharpness allready at 1.4 is razer sharp, quite heavy but its a great match for the A7II and i think it would be also great on the A7rII, IQ is fantastic through the entire focus-range! The sigma is a great deal it costs only about 700€ and its fast 1.4 with 24mm its very versetail so you can use it not only for landscapes but also very good on portraits. The IQ is amazing with the A7II and of course it gets stabilized. Only drawback with my commlite adapter autofocus is not working, and you dont have weather sealing, but manual focus is total ok, focus ring is very precise and manual focusing with this lens is a joy and much quicker with the commlite because you can change the aperture on the camera. Also all electronics is beeing received from the adapter, you get information like iso,aperture in your pictures. I think with a metabones it would work with autofocus and on the a7rII even better. Builtquality is very solid. So i can really recommend this lens :-) If you like to pixelbeep, zoom in on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/stojaphotography/albums/72157655420252784

(MODERATORS: I noticed the legacy lens part of the forum too late, if you think this should go there, by all means, move it. It probably does fit there best.) I worked as a professional sports photographer for years, blindly shooting away with a Canon and not truly appreciating photography. I got a promotion and was no longer required to shoot, so I sold my gear. After a few years I got the itch again, but there were stipulations: No. 1 — No backaches. I wanted to go light. No. 2 — I wanted to shoot on a budget (I've added kids and other expenses). No. 3 — I wanted to have fun. I did some research and talked to a photo buddy, PMR (some Sony shooters probably know him), and I settled on an a6000. Picked one up with a kit lens and ordered an adapter for some old FD stuff I had sitting around from back in the day. And there's where my trouble started. After messing around with the old standard Canon FD 50mm 1.8, I went immediately to Amazon and bought adapters for every mainstream mount — the best-rated, yet cheap, adapters. Fast forward two months, and I've spent about $250 at various thrift stores, garage sales and pawn shops picking up a vast array of manual focus lenses and other finds, and I'm having the time of my life. So far, here's what I've got: Nikon F mount lenses Nikkor-S.C. Auto 55mm 1.2 (with an old Nikkormat EL body thrown in) Nikkor 135mm 2.8 (with a Nikon FG body added to the deal) Carl Zeiss Jena 28mm 2.8 Sigma AF 24-70mm 2.8 DG (auto-focus doesn't work, but it's otherwise mint) Sigma AF 15mm 2.8 fisheye (again, no-go on autofocus, but manual focusing is smooth) Auto Vivitar 200mm 3.5 (stuck wide-open, unfortunately) RMC Tokina 400mm 5.6 Minolta MD mount lenses Minolta MD Rokkor-X 45mm 2.0 Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm 1.4 (threw in a Minolta XD-11 body) Minolta 1:1 extension tube (I believe this was made for the 50mm 3.5 macro) Canon FD mount lenses Canon FD 50mm 1.8 (two copies, both flawless) Canon FD 28mm 2.8 S.C. Tou/Five Star MC Auto Macro 28mm 2.8 (surprisingly good little lens) MC Super Albinar Auto 135mm 2.8 MC Auto Zoom CPC CCT 75-200mm macro 4.5 Osawa MC 70-180 macro 4.5 M42 mount Auto Mamiya/Sekor SX 135mm 2.8 Pentax K-mount SMC Pentax-M 50mm 1.7 SMC Pentax-A 50mm 1.7 (got these guys for $2 each, mint, with caps) A word of warning: This can get out of control. But I'm not sure I'd have it any other way.
