Chris said why at the beginning of the video: zooms are a great portrait option worth considering, but he prefers primes for portraits, so that’s what they focused on.

A couple weeks ago I used a Sony/ZEISS 85 1.4 (first session) and a Voigtlander 50 1.2 (second session) for some senior portraits. The shots we got are gorgeous with many of the characteristics...

There’s info on manual focusing in the “body, controls and handling” section.

MacRumors is not a “bargain basement rumor site”

My main reason for purchasing DxO PhotoLab last year was for their DeepPRIME noise reduction. I’ve only used it on a few night/astro shots, but the results were extremely impressive and already ...

Good points Kinematic. I could be wrong, but I think they’re using AI / machine learning, not a 15 year old approach, so hopefully this feature will get better over time at handling a wide variety...

Beautiful birds! Such a lovely capture.

“This Zeiss has a better lens than the Q2”

If the sharpness metric is the only way we measure what makes one lens better than the other, then the Zeiss wins. There are, of course, a host of other...

In case we’ve forgotten, this studio scene is here to remind us that Zeiss have been engineering and producing some of the best optics in all its respective fields since the 1800s, and that...

I'm glad to see that Techart continues to support this adapter with updates (as they should), and that it's performing better on the A7R4 for those of you who were having issues. I haven't updated ...

Love it!

You can't really make "color science" comparisons when looking at some of these studio scenes. For example: I remember the yellow look of studio scenes from the A7RIV (and a few other cameras...

Ling Long Pagoda, Beijing

You must have a had a bad copy, because the 16-35 F4 is an excellent zoom lens. The sharpness on the wider end holds its own among newer and faster E-Mount offerings (and I think a number of ...

She wanted a new headshot for work. For some reason when I do any editing in the Apple Photos app, it removes the camera EXIF data on export.

I bet you’re fun at parties 😉

The EOS R you own isn’t that much faster than the A7rii (both shoot 5fps), and it came out years later. I know you’ve said there’s an endless list of reasons as to why the A7rii “sucks” but it’s ...

With regard to build quality, I think the loose front of the 135 1.8 A-Mount Sony/Zeiss Sonnar might be the exception. The design flaw was so common that Sony offered free repairs under warranty, ...

Looks like he loved the Sony/Zeiss 50 1.4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhWZ7oRuMac "Just about the sharpest 50mm lens I've ever tested" Nice reviews! I hadn't heard of this channel before.

I recently purchased the Voigtlander 35 1.2 III and it's a fantastic lens worth considering. Coma will still probably be less than ideal, but this review on phillipreeve.net notes that flare is ...
