Re: Experimenting with my Dynax 7D

the Sony 50mm is super soft at F/1.4, at F/2.8 it's is much better. But that softness does good on the little girl photo, super creamy portrait, I like it.
testing the stab is quite easy: put the stab on, take some photos with a speed under 1/15 with your 50mm.

I'm glad someone is gonna use a 7D again.
- buy a few spare batteries. Even the brand new aftermarket ones I bought recently don't last long.
- shoot raw,
- set exposure compensation to -0.3EV or -0.7EV to save the highlights when needed
- don't be afraid of high ISO: just use whatever you need: DXO deep prime and / or Topaz denoise get rid of the noise.
- if you like shooting this camera, you will want a 70-200 F4 beercan, replace the sony 50mm with the minolta 50mm f2.8 macro, and get the 28mm f2.8: all great non expensive lenses that you can also use on any sony A-mount.

It's just some glass, some silicon and magnesium. It isn't a religion.
