Used on my 70-200 GM the 2x TC was nowhere near good enough for me - I sent it back. Quite contrary to the 1.4x that i kept and that shows virtually no degradation in quality compared to the lens ...

Wow, thank you, sure looks nice :) Focus is spot on, and the lens seems to have excellent sharpness.

In this thread would be okay with me. I don't have a flickr account, so over the dpreview gallery would be great. Also, as another reader suggested, just crops of the sharp parts (bird's head) ...

Beautiful, but could you post at least one image in full resolution? These images do not lend themselves to assessing critical sharpness. Thanks!

Some really excellent photographs. But I would appreciate a few full-resolution samples. These are not enough to assess critical sharpness. Thanks!

Well, this certainly sounds reassuring and tempting at that. Probably, I really have to try and see, whether the advantages you mention are relevant to my photography or not.

To me this is not so much about colour matching because you can always make any colour into any other colour you like (of course on the expense of others). You always lose colour information, the ...

Not sure whether we are talking about the same thing here. What I tried to express is that for me the second meaning is much more important. I would always be most interested in losing the least ...

These a nice pictures with good and pleasing background separation. But I wonder what they would have looked like if taken with the 70-200 GM at f/4? When I decided whether I should try the STF a ...

At least theoretically it's not just a matter of profiles and calibration, as some suggested. As a manufacturer you influence the color response of a sensor by choosing the exact colours of the ...

PS Actually, DJI has a gimbal dedicated specifically to the a7R, the Zenmuse Z15-A7 (http://www.dji.com/de/zenmuse-z15-a7/info). Unfortunately, it only works the Sony/Zeiss FE 35mm/2.8 lens. Which ...

Thanks, mmarian, for your suggestions. I had an MFT system from 2010 - 2013, and the image quality wasn't enough for me, at least for printing. So, probably I would rather go with an inexpensive ...

Subject pretty much says it: Has anyone around here photographed with a Sony a7R (or any of the Sony a7 cameras) from a drone, for example a DJI S900 or S1000? I recently saw a few drone stills ...

Exactly my experience when using 4x5, Sony FF, and Olympus MFT. But you keep on reading this thing about larger format producing less wide-angle distortion, see for example this otherwise very ...

Although agreeing that 24 MP is barely enough for 16 x 20 this is because the aspect ratio of FF is 3:2, not 4:5. But with the mathematics that I use 6000 pixels will get you 20 inch wide at 300 ...

Simply agree with every single word you wrote, in particular with regards to 'smoothness'. My experience is also with large-format printers, namely an Epson 7890 currently. But as people are ...

It depends on what question you asked. If you want to know what difference resolution makes from a normal viewing distance, I'm completely with you. The reason that I'm still using an a7R is that ...

Why? Magnar talked about that his test persons were allowed to 'scratch the surface with their noses' - I'm not talking about whether there's a meaningful difference in between the two, just that ...

Of course, the statement about 'eyesight' was irony. I simply doubt your result. I'm a bit tired about the 'internets' trying to tell me how many MPs are enough for me. Let's just leave it at that. ...

I would have and did hit. I can even easily distinguish between a 24" print of 36 MP and one down-resed to 24 MP and up again to 36 MP. Maybe your enthusiasts had poor eyesight. Looking from 2 ...
