The geniuses might be right

I'm seeing funny and absurd comments with all the frenzy around the A9.

On the one hand we have people saying there's no way a pro would ever consider using a tiny sensor like 4/3 because it is noisy and has no DOF control. So don't even try to compare the E-M1 II to the A9.

And then on the other hand we have people trying to justify the Sony lens lineup by saying that it's fine that the only super telephoto is a 400mm f5.6, because FF high ISO is so good.

So let me get this straight, 2 stops is super important at the sensor, but irrelevant in the lenses? Makes me laugh to think of geniuses out there using f5.6 lenses on a $4500 camera at ISO 6400-12800 because 4/3 with a 40-150 f2.8 is somehow lesser grade.

Just in the last couple of days I have seen some interesting images at the photo club:

- our resident live act specialist (Olympus M1 mk1, 25mm f1.2, 50 mm f1.8) apologised when he showed a picture shot on MFT at 6400 ISO. The detail was all smeared out and the tones were awful but he liked the emotion (me too)

- our travel specialist (Sony A7 R2, 24-240 f3.5-6.3) showed a series of a stage performance including one at 51000 ISO. I was amazed. It was noisy and a bit lacking in contrast but otherwise it looked pretty normal
