  1. I'm seriously resisting purchasing the FE 70300 G due to budget constraints. One alternative is to try the SAL70300G for the time being. If anyone has experience using this lens via LA-EA3 on an A7mk2 or A6300 please share your experience and a few sample shots. Thanks in advance.
  2. April showers bring May flowers. And a little May rain helps too. Sony A7 II body, Batis 25MM, 1/60 second, f22, ISO 1250 with tripod
  3. Sunrise (clouds too thick to see) along South Carolina coast in a light rain. Shore erosion has caused the beach to retreat into the forest. Taken at Botany Bay Wildlife Refuge, South Carolina (USA). A7 Mark II with Zeiss 2/25 Batis taken at 10 seconds, f6.3, ISO 100. Developed in Lightroom 6 and NIK Silver Efx Pro 2.
  4. I wonder if anybody can help me. I'm a Canon user who has just purchased a Sony A7 II. One of the things which attracted me to the camera was the idea of IBIS (steady shot). I've spent the last week shooting with a 35mm prime and I must say that I'm very disappointed by the effectiveness of the steady shot feature. Photos taken of static objects with steady shot off at 1/30th of a second exhibit a similar level 'shake' to those taken at 1/15th of a second with steady shot on. If I drop down to 1/8th of a second with steady shot on I see slightly more shake than when shooting at 1/30th of a second with it off. In other words, I'm only enjoying around 1-2 stops of stabilization (Sony claims 4.5 stops). Even the kit lens which I got with my Canon 80D provided me with around 3 stops of real-world stabilization. I really want to love this camera, but the feature which I was most excited about has fallen way short of expectations. I'm toying with the idea of sending the camera back, but I thought that I'd ask what is clearly a very experienced community of users for help/advice before doing so. This is a native prime and steady shot is set up correctly - even manually setting steady shot to 35mm rather than auto makes no difference. Thanks in advance.
  5. I have some issue with A7II (firmware 2.0) - my Lightroom 5.7.1 (up to date both on desktop pc and laptop) says it´s not able to read the pictures from my cards (Sandisk Exteme PRO, 95mB/s, 32GB and 64GB) but every picture is visible on the display A7II. Somebody knows what the duck does it mean? Thanks in advance Alphanatic
  6. (D810 + AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G @f/2 1/100s) (D810 + AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G @f/2 1/100s) I've been a Sony user from the start, ever since I first bought the RX1R about 2 years ago. I dove into the DSLR world on Nikon's side when I purchased the Df and then the D810 last year. After selling my RX1R, I've always been thinking of buying a backup-cam for my everyday use (because let's be honest, the D810 is a chunk of a camera). That's how it started. It looked like it was a good timing for me to buy the A7 II after seeing mostly positive reviews online, and with me going more hands-on in camera shops, I decided, "Yeah, why not." I was always jealous of the A7 II's 5-axis IBIS and better ergonomics, coming from using the IMHO ergonomically-poor RX1R. The auto-focus was for me, apparently faster and more accurate than both the RX1R and the A7/R/S even in single point AF. Therefore, in the end, it was the A7 II for me. (This was me testing out my friend's A7R for a few days,α7R + FE 16-35 F4 ZA OSS @f/4 1/20s) (This was me testing out my friend's A7R for a few days,α7R + FE 16-35 F4 ZA OSS @f/4 1/20s) Thoughts on the A7 II: There is quite a design change ergonomically for the A7 II compared to the A7R. Although it's not a whole overhaul of the body design, it is pretty apparent once one grabs onto the grip on both cameras. The plastic dials are easier to turn IMO, and my middle finger finally has a comfortable place to rest on the grip. Overall, I enjoyed the ergonomics of the A7 II more than the A7R. As for the lens, there was no other answer for me at the time than starting out with the Zeiss Sonnar T* 55mm F1.8 ZA (keep in mind this was pre-Distagon 35mm F1.4 announcement). This also deterred me from buying the Sigma 50mm F1.4 Art for my D810, with the Sony-Zeiss being smaller, demonically sharp wide-open, and free from needing focus micro-adjustments at all times. The single point AF on the A7 II, IMO, has reached the level of 'capable' in comparison to the D810. Although my D810 trumps the A7 II when it comes to continuous tracking AF, with Nikon's AF-C 3D tracking being almost god-like in real life usage, the A7 II tracking is quite fine in the center area where the PDAF points lie. Single point of the A7 II is a pain in low-light situations, but at least the camera doesn't pretend to grab focus when it is actually out of focus like my previous experiences with the Olympus E-M1 and E-M10. (α7 II + Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA @f/1.8 1/4000s) (α7 II + Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA @f/1.8 1/1250s) (α7 II + Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA @f/5 1/60s) A7 II pairs fine with my Yongnuo 560TX + YN56-IV combination. This is a great news. I sometimes even think of replacing my D810 and make my Sony the main-cam. However, it's only after real usage of both in shoots that I started to realize how difficult it's for me to balance both cameras' RAW files in post to have similar colors and tonality. Even with the help of Lightroom and Photoshop, I found that both cameras/lenses combination produce quite different color rending even with RAW files. (More to come... Will talk about mounting Nikon lenses... Editing in progress...)
