That's what it was set to at the factory. Unless you're have a specific problem with AF accuracy I wouldn't change it. If you do change it, be sure to test it thoroughly to make sure it is as good ...

I don't have experience with this specific camera but I would guess it is overheating. I would suggest trying 1080P if you need to record for 1+ hours.

I too posses this superhuman ability; I can create terrible photographs with any lens!

Probably poor wording on my part, I should have said "softer", ie: relative to the 85/1.8 (which I found to be very sharp in most cases), rather than objectively "soft", which few modern lenses ...

It will, but it's not a significant difference in my view. That's about a stop. To really take advantage of the FF system I think it makes sense to go with F1.8 or faster lenses. Then you get the ...

I'm probably in the minority but I would love to see a relatively compact, lightweight f1.2 or 1.4 in the 35-85mm range that was poorly corrected (by modern standards) but native FE mount with ...

Most of the photos that I take are snapshots. I'm not a professional photographer and don't usually do formal, posed portraits, which is more of what the first two images were. My comment wasn't ...

The first two images are significantly better photographs than the last three. But they're very different images too, and mostly show that the first were taking by a very good photographer, with a ...

So when comparing with the same subject matter, these lenses produce extremely similar results. The Sigma seems to have a bit more vignetting (or simply less correction in the lens profile), but ...

Yes, I think full body portraiture is the best argument for going for a 1.2 or 1.4 lens rather than a 1.8. If you're doing weddings, events, fashion, etc and frequently shooting full body images ...

I would take these sort of comments with a grain of salt, as that's a pretty wild claim. I watched the bokeh section in the video and it's puzzling for sure, but I would guess it was something ...

The difference between an F1.4 lens and and F1.8 is 2/3rds a stop. Sometimes the difference in transmission is only about half a stop. So let's say you're using an F1.4 lens and need to shoot at ...

I was just going to suggest something like this. Or, if you're unhappy with the Tamron, return it and  grab the Samyang. I would go for the Samyang in this case though. It's roughly the same size ...

The Sony 85/1.8 is still a great lens and an excellent value. I've compared it directly to the Samyang 75/1.8 and the Sony was sharper and had slightly less busy bokeh. To say the rendering is ...

Ergonomics and controls are going to come down to personal preference, of course. For me, the I and II bodies feel very "beta" - rushed to market to get a head start on FF mirrorless (hey, it ...

Personally, I wouldn't buy any of the I or II series bodes. The A7 III is a much better camera for the majority of photography styles, and can be had used for not much more money. So I see little ...

More lenses are always good, however, 295g isn't particularly exciting considering the Sony 85/1.8 is 1.3 stops faster and only 75g heavier. Now if it was a 90/2.8 macro or 90/2 at 295g, that would ...

The first one is at 1/2000 which is plenty fast enough to freeze motion, but the focus is behind the dog’s face which probably means the focus tracking was too slow. This could be more of a camera ...

What do you use a 420mm lens for in fashion? Headshots from 50 feet away or something like that? This is a genuine question as I've never done this type of work before, I've only used lenses this ...

If you want to know how lenses compare, you need to compare them directly. Same subject, lighting, framing, post processing. Multiple subjects in different lighting, ideally. Print them, and see ...
