Excellent

Appears to be a mix of inexperience on the reviewer's part with a UWA, a less than perfect copy and DPR's lack of standardized testing by lens category.

Looks like you and the DPR reviewer didn't get copies as good as they can be.

A few dozen sony lenses are good the rest are mediocre, nothing special (quantity does not equal quality). The sony 50/1.2 is small because it is uncorrected for breathing - after years of sony...

You bought something used that's giving you issues on two otherwise non-issue bodies. Keep your faith, the z system is fine. Either dirty contacts as others have mentioned or faulty/damaged used lens.

Marketing / branding mambo jambo :) everyone has something

Cool but short ranges each...

If this has been previously posted, apologies. Searched the z forum and did not find anything. A bit long but it's a good chat and actually goes by quicker than you think.

mmm most top tier oems in this industry do 2nd and beyond gens on lenses, just in longer cycles vs the cameras, so nothing new there. Given how mediocre sony's 1st 70-200 was, I think they actually...

Excellent! Hope it works good in terms of speed and efficiency without the computer fans having to work over time.

"camera body too big..."

Teaser video starts with a female photographer jumping out of a jeep in the middle of wild Africa easily holding the camera and long tele all in one hand.

200mm + 2.0TC = 400mm

Please don’t downplay Sony’s issues. The broken mounts, overheating, star eating, class action lawsuit, sensor coating issues, weather sealing issues, auto switch to 12 bit during...

Any lag?

Thx!

Buy used, to minimize your losses going back and forth. If nikon maintains a 2 year schedule, then the z6iii should drop around November 2022. It will for sure have some tech from z9.

Between lenstip and DPR, it has bad flare resistance, vignetting and nervous bokeh. Not exactly class leading. And from sony themselves: "[vii] Not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof"....

@panther fan
You must be joking. The nikon 50 1.2 is solid all around and tack sharp wide open, as is the sony 50 1.2, except that the sony has worst in class focus breathing. Nikon's focus was on...

The larger mounts that nikon and canon are currently using allow for more optical design options, and make certain challenges easier. That's all. It doesn't mean that everything is better "just...

The reviews aren't class leading...and it seems to have nervous bokeh...hey at least it's lightweight!
