Dropped my K-1 with its 28-105 from a height of about 80cm twice over rocks while hiking last year. A few scratches - otherwise, still works fine...

As one who "started out today" - well, not quite... some months ago - I got the A7rIII with a 24-105. I have previously used - and still use when weather conditions are very bad - a Pentax K-1 with ...

You got the best - why try to downgrade ?

Just concerning colour. This would be closer to reality:

I would be quite satisfied if the option to convert raw to DNG - like with Pentax - were available in-camera for Sony. Older Adobe software does not recognize the latest ARW files - and not ...

Well… This is not a squirrel, but it was taken with my Takumar 135mm f: 2.5 screwmount on Ektachrome at full aperture - in 1976... Rather good for those bygone days - and not too bad today. Rho ...

"Many years ago" I got a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED. I still use it for scanning old slides (the one below from 1976 on Kodachrome 64) using VueScan Software. It also has a "dust removal" ...

My experience is that if you turn off stabilisation on the lens (a Sony lens) and that it is then disabled in the menu - then it is turned off. I presume it should be turned off.

Have you installed latest firmware ?

Vignetting is due to the lens. Not the camera.

Pentax has the option to record directly in DNG.

And also photographers...

The A7 R M3 has a 42 MP sensor (I mistakenly said A7M3 in my post…) and is the best for cropping, provided the optics are good enough - and that is the case with the 24-105. But the Pentax K-1 ...

As for you, I am originally a Pentax user (K-1 and various lenses, including their 28-105). But I did get a Sony A7M3 with a FE 24-105 earlier this year. I need the high resolution sensor since I ...

The extra 4mm are a great advantage for landscape photography. I also use a 28-105 (Pentax) while hiking, but have often encountered situations where 24mm would have been necessary. By the way, the ...

Last night's eclipse seen from my balcony at Thonex, Geneva, Switzerland. Taken with A7rIII and 24-105 G OSS. The last image is at the end of totality and shows Mars rising.

…. And everything else in between.

Photoshop CS6

The "non random grid pattern" did appear on some of my night exposures with the original K-1.

No. The sharper the better. Software allows you to "unsharpen" any image at will. In bye-gone "film" days, sharpness could be a problem since numerical image treatment was unknown. And one could ...
