Fun with the A7rII and the 10-18 in FF and crop mode

***If replying, please don't quote the images, the files are full size (huge).***

I finally got the chance to fire off a few shots with the A7rII and the 10-18. I shot in FF and APS-c mode, first at f/4 and then f/8. I went through the entire range, so I have images at 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18mm. Note - only the even FL's are on the lens, the rest is just turning the ring between two numbers so they may not be exact. Theses are SOOC fine jpeg's with the camera on aperture priority, so the rest of the exposure was whatever the camera decided. I had the WB on fluorescent from an indoor shoot and forgot to change it, but that won't impact IQ.

I'm breaking up the images into four posts: FF @ F/4, APS-c @ F/4, FF @ F/8 and APS-c @ F/8, so scroll down for the various combos. Thanks.

Thanks for posting... was considering giving this a lens a try to see what it's like at 12mm but from the images you posted the corners looking quite smeared even at f/8

I really dislike 3:2 for most UWA shots, I typically crop at a 2:1 or 2.35:1 ratio for wide perspectives or go square, so a lot of the issues get cropped out.
