I wish to see a few images with and without the sensor-shift feature of the A7r3. that show a large, clear improvement from sensor shift. I think I understand the theory, but I don't care about the ...

Thanks so much!  Just placed my order.  Now I will have a spare.

Do you mean all rumors? Some? There's always rumors, even on DPR, and many turn out to be true. Some don't. If you can't stand rumors, why even visit a site called Sony Alpha Rumors? How can you ...

Care to name what you consider "made-up nonsense"?  Anything specific?  :)

I can't imagine what some of you are complaining about in SAR: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/ I find SAR extremely valuable on a per-word basis. Per word, nothing is better for daily updates on ...

Looks remarkably flat to me.

Oh my!  Who could have guessed that a Sony firmware update could accomplish this?

I'm interested in field curvature wide open, perhaps at three distances: closest focus, infinity, and somewhere in the middle. Saying something about field curvature particularly at infinity does ...

It sounds like you deny the possibility that marvelous ideas can come from a fine book about a camera.  Like I hinted before, experience is a fool's teacher; wise people learn from others. You are ...

"Experientia magistra stultorum." Wise people learn from others.

I always wonder about posts like this.   I hope you don't mind my curiosity:   Out of all of the thousands of products available for Sony cameras and accessories that you don't think you would ...

Gary Friedman always seems to write the best books on any camera. Nothing I've found is even half as good.  I read mostly cover to cover, but it is also easy to find particular topics of greatest ...

I like SAR very much, thanks.  I read them more often than any other photographic site, actually.  Quite valuable to me.  Where has more value per word in your eyes?

Finding a way to try 135mm is a great idea. You can approximate the perspective of 135mm on full frame by using an 85mm lens on an APS camera or the APS setting on a full-frame camera. However, for ...

In most cases, person A calls person B a troll when person A does not like person B's opinion.   Person A is claiming to be able to read minds and motives, but completely lacking in evidence of ...

Time to save up my pennies, or not.

Thanks for your input. What you wrote is 100% true, and the same information is available on a piece of paper that comes with the lens, but this not as useful (to my thinking) as the approximate ...

BBQ, yes, certainly, the depth of field will indeed change if you go from f4 to f2.8, but it changes by a lot less than you expect from your experience with nonSTF lenses. This needs some explanation.

Interesting.  May I ask why?

I very much appreciate the review, though it has quite a few comments that belie an incomplete understanding of the lens. Here are some of its problems (according to my understanding, of course, ...
