Looks nice!

Nothing's beyond criticism is it, but I think most normal people and folks with an interest in JL would enjoy the photos.

I wonder if some of the things people are moaning about are...

I owned the original RX10, and I can see that these newer versions address some of the drawbacks. I'd be interested to see how image quality stacks up against the MK1. Does it still use Sony's...

The biggest gain is the new AF system: the D810 is pretty hopeless in low light. Try shooting a gig with a D810 vs the D750!!

I'm trading my D750 in against the D850 and keeping my D810. It was a...

Residual value is somewhat relevant though. Those of us who were unfortunate enough to buy the Sony A7R for eg saw the value of the gear drop like crap out of a bull's bum within a few months.

Lens-sensor reflections and other kinds of flare are a major problem when the flange distance is that small; and yes, vignetting is an issue too. If you're into contra jour and similar then the...

True, but it should be noted that putting the lens's rear element so close to the sensor is not without consequences.

I know which one I shall be purchasing... 😉

Richard Butler - even if you expose to the right, then set final brightness in post? I suppose that only counts if you need to reduce the exposure/brightness after capture, but that's often...

The article would benefit from some comment on ETTR wouldn't it.

Wubslin - it's one of the best cameras ever manufactured.

dash2k8 - at 35mm the DOF will give you a bit of slack, but generally, the Sigma Arts focus all over the place. The 85/1.4 is probably the best of them, to be honest! I calibrated all of mine using...

Yeah, the Sigma 35/1.4 has been around a while now, so I dare say it's been surpassed by other designs.

I think the point I was making is that sample variation and AF accuracy might trump the...

Bambi - zero autofocus problems might be going a bit far, but certainly the Sigma Art series has its AF problems, to put it mildly.

Interestingly, however, once I'd got a decent copy, the Sigma...

I use the Sigma Art. It's quite amazing optically apart from some weird field curvature. Beware of sample variation though, Sigma seem to have trouble turning out decent copies! It's unpleasantly...

😂

Try shooting a gig with a D810! It's so bad in low light that I bought a D750 as well!

I'm thinking I'll chop in my D750 against the D850 and keep my D810 as a backup. The D810 is an amazing...

Deep7 - the leaf shutters in the Hassy's native lenses are very loud and crude for some reason. I had a play with one at a photography show earlier this year and was surprised by the thwack it...

Well, look: the image quality will surpass that of the D810 won't it. Or in plain English, it will be amazing.

Any camera's files can be massacred if someone sharpens them to hell, applies too...

PDAF is nowhere near good enough for >24mp, but apart from that, not sure I agree with him.
