For lenses say 24mm and longer I typically do not see any loss of sharpness adapted on the Sony but I am not a pixel peeper. Some have reported that UWA may not perform as well like Tony Northrup ...

Joe, I use the Metabones IV with the latest firmware. I also have the 35L, 100L, and 135L that I have used with it. They all work pretty well with the A7RII. I use that adapter in green mode and ...

GM 70-200 about $100 more than the GM 100-400. So the 100-400 is not the highest price. Key question is do you want 70 - 280 or 100 - 560.  Clearly the coverage is different. Pick based on that. Steve

The 100-400 is  little bigger than the 70-200 but the 70-200 is a little heavier.

Have an A7RII and A6500 I will be using them on so I will take a look at how the combo performs on all three now. Steve W

The vignetting  from this combo I had not heard about. I already have the FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 and love its AF speed on my A9. Used it at an airshow recently. I took the advice of some other ...

I bought my first Sony body, an A7R, to shoot along side my Canon 5D Mark III and 1DX to give me more resolution. Tried the A7 to see how well the phase detection AF worked and then updated to the ...

Thanks for sharing your experience. My results with the 70-200mm f/4 G is a little different but I understand what you are saying. I also own both the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II, EF 70-200 f/2.8L II and ...

So the 70-200mm f/2.8 GM is a very good lens. They key question is do you need the f/2.8 or will f/4 work for you. The reason I ask is that if you don't need the low light capability the new FE ...

This thread is too old to talk about the GM since most of the post are from 2015. I owned the GM 24-70mm f/2.8 and the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II and the appear to perform about the same when all ...

The reason some are very annoyed is that Sony made a change without clear warning of its impact. Users like me spent money for a product  and astro capable lenses and then found that their ...

Well I guess I have a slightly different opinion. I love my B18/2.8 and B25/2 and use them with the small FE 24-70 f/4 to travel light. The GM 24-70mm f/2.8 is a great lens but I sold mine because ...

Well if it was really brass underneath. In reality I will end up wit a grey titanium look I guess since there is no brass in the body. Steve W

I don't mind the look either I just wanted to give users a heads up. Some try out a new camera and after a short time sell it because it didn't offer them what they were after. I'm sure they would ...

Just an FYI. I've had my A9 exactly one month and when holding it today I noticed it was brassing on the front right edge, By front I mean if I were looking into the lens. By brassing I mean that ...

In all this discussion I don't see much about what aperture and subject distance your comparing. Since your using a f/1.8 85mm lens I am assuming your trying to get very shallow DOF where focus ...

AF Micro adjust if for when you use an A-mount lens with one of the Sony mount adapters. It is still relevant for that case. AF-S uses the hybrid approach on both the A9 and A7RII. For AF-C I don't ...

Thankfully I was unable to read your crack. Hope you had fun with it. Your the type of person I like to avoid on these forums.

For me, being a little denser it wasn't but that is my problem. As long as it was obvious to others I put the issue back on me and not Sony. I guess I was to strongly influenced by how the Canon ...

Figured the my menu out!  There is no "Add Page", your expected to understand, without documentation, that to create a new page its not just "Add" but you must go click on the "Right" button to ...
