BTW, I love this picture. She looks so pretty! I love the green in the background.

"You could wait a couple more months for the A7RV which is probably well into development to obsolete your just announced A7R iv by this time next year."
The update cycle is 2 years, not a couple...

This just doesn't make sense to me. I think people who get the a7r series should be looking for really high resolution. That's the entire point of that line. Saying a7r is too high resolution to be...

Cameralabs has a bokeh test shooting a bookshelf where many lenses exhibit CA. You can see how it improves as you stop down. They have pictures for 35mm f1.8, 40mm Batis, and 40mm Sigma. You can ...

Good point. I subconsciously tend to prefer less aberrations over the best bokeh. In fact, a decent amount of shots I do are stopped down.

Not bad CA, but more CA. I agree, the 35 1.2 is not some CA monster. Better than 35 f1.4 Art. I base these opinions on PhillipReeve's head to head comparison with the three Sigma Art lenses. Maybe ...

Ahh yes... Still waiting for somebody to compare it to the Batis 40mm. If the 35mm f1.8 has similar CA then perhaps the 100g weight savings and lower price would make it a strong option.

Valid points, though the 40mm also has less CA. Also correctable, but not perfectly. Depends on how much of a perfectionist for image quality you are. Different strokes and such.

Sharper than 35mm f1.4 Sigma? For me the comparison is 35mm f1.8 vs 40mm Batis, because both are portable and decent sharpness.

When comparing two images from two different resolution cameras of same sensor size, if I zoom both images so objects in the images are the same size, that generally favors the lower resolution ...

Interesting... sounds labor intensive though. Might be good for really important shots. Wait, what if I stitch pixel-shifted images together? :-D Speaking of post-processing techniques, I read ...

That's interesting, I didn't know higher mp photos are better for fixing CA and such. In fact often people don't talk about the drawbacks to fixing images in post. Often they're not huge but it's ...

Ah yes, you're probably more correct technically. I'd zoom in more if I could, but past a certain point of zoom I'm not getting any more detail. I suppose it might make more sense to zoom in a ...

Hi, I don't *need* more resolution per se. I would prefer it. It's just the way I look at images. Most people don't zoom in at 100% and inspect every detail, but I'm the type of person who actually ...

How long until pixel-shifted images in studio comparison tool? Inquiring minds wish to know!

I know roughly speaking, that my current lens on a5100 produces sharper images than the lens they used to test the a6000 (55mm ZA for FE). I also know the 85mm GM used to test a7r4 is less sharp ...

Actually I was thinking of the potential increase in amount I can zoom into a picture with a7r IV vs a5100. The a5100 is not 20mp, but I rounded it down to make the math and example simplier for ...

My understanding is, in order to figure out how much more I can zoom in to an image on my computer while retaining the same level of detail when going from 20 to 60MP, I take Square Root of ...

In addition, Gerald Undone did a review of 35mm f1.2 and compared it to the 40mm. His verdict was the 35mm f1.2 is actually slightly tighter than the 35mm f1.4 Art. At that point, might as well ...

Yeah I heard about that, that people who focus more on gear tend to have more of a us vs them mentality. To me it's like somebody getting mad at me because I don't like their favorite restaurant....
