I plan to shoot wireless 2x HVL-F45RM Sony flash-units with my A7RIII. I know I will need the remote-unit FA-WRC1M directly on the camera since I do not want to have a flash as master on the ...

Too, bad... Such wonderful locations without a great tool. I sold off all RX-100`s and added a 2nd A7RIII body. Each photo I saw with the RX-100 reminded me how much better my photos would look ...

I had the 85GM for 2 years and switch to the new 135GM. The AF-speed and noise is not the greatest of the 85GM, even with the firmware-update. Also I need a focal length that really differs from ...

When shooting only with primes it's quite essential to have a 2nd body in the bag. It's just annoying to take down the bag, switch lenses and add dust on the sensor. It also costs precious time. I ...

Hi there, I currently shoot with 2x A7RII's simply to avoid many lens swapping in the field and I am not the biggest friend of zooms. A backup body also doesn't hurt IMHO. So I currently got the ...

I had a long time the 50mm 1.4 Planar. Really, really happy with it but the 50mm where too long for me in some situations especially indoors. I shot several thousand pictures with the 50mm and ...

Yes, compared to good primes this might be true. But show me a better one in the zoom-area. The 24-105mm is beside it's better weight/size data much more versatile than the frontheavy 24-70 GM. ...

Well I tested both and stick now very happy with a good centered Zeiss 35mm 1.4 + 21mm Loxia. For myself I spare a lot of time  in post with the Zeiss. I never got such great color and contrast ...

I wonder if anybody ever made a side by side shooting with the Zeiss Loxia 50mm and the Sony  Zeiss 50mm 1.4 ZA. Most interesting for me would be the overall rendering and the pop that each lens ...

And if you shoot astro...

Well said... For myself I had to choose the 35 or 50. 2 calibers in that class would be just too much. After 1.5 years with the Planar 50 1.4  I sold it and changed it against the 35 Distagon 1.4. ...

Got. also a well centered 35mm 1.4 and had both of your mentioned 50s. The 55 was indeed not thrilling. The Distagon is just awesome but heavier than the 35mm. Also it is in fact a 47/48mm FL and ...

I will never go on the search for "something" if I don't see anything suspicious on the final picture. It's hard enough to find a very good centered lens in the Sony world. The Gletscherbruch ...

I am happy that moste of the suggestions are minor steps and I am happy that my 2nd A7RIII just came in. Both bodies will stay quite a long time with me, that's for sure... 4K 60p sounds nice but ...

After a lot of buying and selling I simply fell in love with prime Zeiss glass and currently build up a MF/AF prime lens setup kit for my A7RIII. It's kind of crazy but IMHO no Sony G/GM zoom or ...

Thanks so much Toni! I love your 30 days article. Best read I ever had about a single lens!

I am currently debating between the above mentioned candidates and I am aware finding a good centered copy of the Sony Zeiss will be lottery. However I am asking the owners who have some ...

I am currently having a hard time deciding which way to go. I already have the 21mm Loxia and look for an UWA Zoom like the 16-35mm f4 Zeiss or 16-35 GM. Main question - If the 21mm Loxia is ...

I found a good mix of relative light and also heavier powerful lenses over the time. Both with great IQ. I must say that I lost quite some money but is was worth it. Some of the following lenses I ...

Thanks, valuable points so far! I didn't have on the radar yet, that the Distagon is providing approx. 33mm. This keeps the Planar definitely in the game. Also to have the holy 1.4 prime trinity ...
