Hey all, i started to post this under an existing topic but figured would start a new one.

Anyone else think it has been awful quiet in the news realm for the new a7rii? I mean usually with a new release of moderate changes to a camera upgrade you would think there would be a lot more buzz but seams pretty dead!

I thought that sony would let some of their top artisans shoot with the a7rii and post some full rez files for people to pixel peep and stir some enthusiasm but haven't seen hardly anything.

On the same not i still have not heard anymore about sony making the uncompressed raw happen yet!  

I hope some of you pre ordered the a7rii and will post some real user images and honest thoughts about the camera.

I have a photo group that go out and shoot quite often and one of them pre ordered so i am looking forward to seeing results from him, oh and he told me that he pre ordered from B&H and that they told him when he ordered that it will come with 2-batteries and a standalone charger as well as the ac adapter which i found pleasant and thought sony should have been giving two batteries and a charger with all the a7 series cameras.

I know of at least two A7r II cameras that will be going into underwater housings in the next week or two.

 

For Jack Devant, beautiful work on your web site. Great to see the same equipment being used for such different types of work. This is my favorite US ballet photographer a guy I have known for years.

      ISO Bracketing

      By Richard A · Posted

      ISO 320 is the A7R5's second base ISO setting. You will find at ISO 320 you will get better results than even ISO 200. I normally take a set of shots at 1600, 3200 and 6400 ISO. I am taking 60 light frames and 10 dark frames. I don't do any adjustments to the files before stacking. I really need to get organised and do some bias frames now. Here is pretty much my first successful Milky Way shot from a few months ago. I was combatting a bit of ambient light and quite a lot of cloud but I'm pretty happy with this. It was shot using my Sigma 16-28 f2.8 which is better at astro than I had anticipated, at ISO 1600.

      ISO Bracketing

      Thanks for the information. Since my original post, I did some "experiments" at different iso settings. Best results were obtained at iso 320, and then increasing the exposure by four stops in Lightroom. The biggest difference compared to using a higher iso was that there was detail in dark foreground areas, while at high iso the dark areas were blocked. This is consistent with articles I've read about ISO invariance.

      I do a bit of astro photography and do a lot of research etc. on best settings to use. I have never heard of anyone using ISO bracketing! Typically, higher ISO settings such as 1600, 3200 or 6400 are used and multiple light and dark frames are stacked to reduce noise. If you are worried about noise in dark foreground areas then just use a seperate exposure for them then blend the exposures in post processing. By the way, I also have an A7R5.
