No, the FE 24-70/4 is not that bad, and you don't have to stop down to get very good sharpness throughout most of the frame anywhere in the zoom range. Many users, including me, are pleased with ...

And make sure you are in AF-C and "Disp. Cont. AF Area" is "on" in the menu.

I see the dancing AF points with my 24-70/4 on my A7RII.

I began using a Canon 1DsII in 2005 and eventually acquired a selection of mostly L primes and zooms.  The Canon was, for its time, quite excellent.  In 2010, I acquired a Panasonic GF1 and 20/1.7 ...

Maybe. The majority of my A7RII images are taken at other than base ISO, so I prefer Sony's apparent trade-off (slightly lower DR at base ISO versus the Nikon, but equal or slightly better DR at ...

There's no setting in the menu that I can find.  My A7RII seems to default to Image Size at the top of the first page of the menu.  I don't know of a way to have the menu reliably default to the ...

Are you sure?  With AF-C, I see the tiny dancing AF points with my SEL2470Z (on an A7RII).

Do you mean the tiny AF points that dance around?  Turn on "Disp. cont. AF area" in the menu. For portraits, if not using eye AF, I generally use AF-C, Lock-on AF wide, with face detect.

I too use the Peak Design Everyday Sling.  In fact, I just returned from a 16-day, very active vacation in Japan where it was the only camera bag I carried.  It worked quite well for me.  In the ...

My evidence is anecdotal and is based only on my own experience.  I acquired my A7RII in January of 2017.  For the first few months, I used primarily AF-A and wide area focus.  AF-A is essentially ...

I shoot raw plus jpeg.  As a heads up, if you don't enable an in-camera lens correction, you cannot automatically apply that correction to the jpeg later in the Camera Raw Lens Corrections tab.  I ...

I'm heading to Japan soon for a two-week family vacation, including some time in Tokyo.  If this helps, I'm bringing my A7RII with the 24-70/4 Zeiss, plus my RX1.  No other cameras or lenses.

I hope Leica survives and prospers. Years ago, I owned a Leica Minilux. Great little camera. That's the only Leica I've owned or used, but I've recently handled a Leica Q and SL. They are also,...

I know next to nothing about lens manufacturers' practices with respect to tightening QC, but it does strike me as likely that if a manufacturer had been receiving reports of QC issues with a ...

According to Gary Friedman, Multi-Frame Noise Reduction accomplishes the same thing as the Smooth Reflections app.  I haven't tried either.

Turning off "Disp. cont. AF area" gets rid of the tiny green boxes, I believe.

Well, again, face detection exposes for the face, so you could adjust your EC based on the skin color and rely on that, assuming face detection is able to identify and focus on a face.  Or, you ...

Another option is to turn on zebras at 100+ and adjust the exposure compensation dial to ensure nothing significant is blown out.  You can push shadows a lot with the A7RII. If your question is ...

No, you're not missing something.  I purchased the 24-70/4 this past February, reluctantly willing to take a hit on IQ in exchange for a more compact 24-70 lens.  It turns out my 24-70/4 is also ...
