85 is fun. Zooms are slower and bigger heavier. You need the longer fl for reach. Some like compression in portrait as well.

that's unrelated?

F1.8, long FL, shallower DOF.

I am having similar issues. Seems that the focus is on my kids hair rather than her eyes.

How to get 3300 for what you listed??

I am glad to see your tests. Just bought Batis 25 and 85 to replace my 28 and FE85. I knew the difference would be small, but it is there. Between FE 28 and Batis 25, I believe the FE 28 is ...

If you don’t mind zoom, 24-105 or 24-70 GM? if you like primes, add 55 and Batis 85 (or FE 85 if not as anal as I am about gear).

Hi In waiting for a AF native 35mm F2, I am considering the F2.8 version. The Sony one is too much for what it is. The Samyang one is reasonably priced. Since this is something to hold off until ...

Why do you think two A7iii’s would be better?

lol

?? where did you get that? I will get an A7iii later. A7RIII became available earlier, so I just bought it.

I like your reasoning. It's a good move to trap as many users as possible. Lower prices on lenses will only lock in current users. A low price body will attract much more users from other camps.

Different camera for different purpose, I guess. Maybe Sony knows something that we don't. Maybe Canon and Nikon do have full frame mirrorless coming, which forced Sony to do this.

... naive is a strong word, my friend. You save a few bucks on the body but pay a premium on lenses. Why are you buying A7III to replace D5?

I have seen a few posts on the net saying A7iii is so much better ... Much better low light than A7Riii Much better AF than A7riii or even A9 ... I find these hard to believe. Why would Sony make a ...

Hello Finally got a chance to shoot some pictures with my new A7RIII. Compared to my A7II images, I am surprised how close they are, even at 1:1 in LR. I thought the images would be much bigger ...

Better than 55 1.8?

take everything you have. you don't need to be carrying them all the time. if you leave your 25 out, you'd want to buy the 16-35GM when you get back... Just a warning.

16-35, 25 and 55. 25 is good to have when you want something light and wide. I left my 28 home for my last trip to Europe and regretted. At night or indoor, when moving parts are involved, your ...

It seems to be impossible to know which lenses suit the best, unless shoot them for a while. I decided to get them all... Cannot see another way. Starting with Batis 25mm and 85mm. They will ...
