No, With most lenses (a few new GM lenses will need "setting effect off" for this) the camera will open automatically to focus when AF-S is used (this also happens when AF-C is looking for lock, ...

With AF-S you'll get opened up focus; F/1.8 lenses will focus at F/2, F/2.8 zooms will open to F/2.8 to F/3.2 for focus even when stopped to F/5.6. The only real problem is when trying to use AF-C ...

I've been following lensrentals tests & blog (huge fan of their work, the blog is an absolute goldmine and huge contribution to photo community and to anyone wanting to learn more about lenses ...

In my opinion yes. Since we have no information about how dxo handles copy variation I personally tend to look for "consensus" of several imatest based tests and dxo and compare that to ...

Can be seen in FE 90/2.8 lensrentals testing in 1:2 vs. infinity. I would not expect difference this big (the 40 & 50 lp/mm show a world of difference in 1:2 vs infinity for FE 90/2.8) in a ...

It is pretty simple. In Imatest etc. you shoot test targets, indoors & you'll need to cover the whole target in frame. The focus distance is dictated by the target size. OLAF on the other hand is ...

I'm a Batis owner and I love the lens and even if the FE85/1.8 was available when I bought my Batis I would still go for Batis due to absolutely stellar dust sealing and OSS, but I must point out ...

The current FW without Playmemories Camera apps cannot even be decrypted like previous generation. And everything points to Sony dropping the Android subsystem that was used to run the Apps and ...

It more use for something daylight birding where you need a lot of reach and there are no other long native telezooms beside GM100-400 yet available.

It means you actually get tracking during burst with A7III. If you put 2x TC to A7RIII with GM100-400 you will not have tracking during higher speed bursts. Some long lens bird/nature shooters for ...

I have no problem with any of that but when one uses term MTF and QA statistics they should have a source, if not those words lose their meaning and become equal to "I think". FE 35/1.4 on a 42 MP ...

Could you point to a sensible real-life MTF test that says these are a tossup? I've never seen these two even very close. If you look at lensrentals test the best Sony you can find has hard time ...

If it is the same as A7RIII then you fall into 12-bit mode when * bulb or long exposure NR is used * both continuous drive mode AND compressed RAW is used; alone neither of these force 12-bit Every ...

+1. Pretty standard stuff with adapted lenses (had lockups with both Metabones and Sigma MC-11, though with Sigma this was early adapter FW and has not happened since), but I do not think I've had ...

Some real flaws on such testing if you call that "AF testing" - turning camera left and right with mode on the frame is no test of AF, it is just a test of pattern recognition eg. can camera see ...

I think the answer may be two-fold 1. the technology in the EVF itself is propably very same as in A7II in terms of resolution, contrast & brightness. 2. however, the sensor and processing is way ...

IMO the magic in Eye AF is not that it can catch eye perfectly in focus; I can do that quite easily with for example my Zeiss APO Sonnar 135/2 using MF for posed shots. It is the convenience and ...

About 99% of the time people have problem with Eye AF with native lenses they are actually trying to activate "Eye-Start AF" instead of using "Eye AF". The 1st one only workj with LA-EA4 and ...

EVF diff is more than resolution. The A7RIII has 100/120 fps EVF with configurable  "priority" of refresh speed vs quality. Looks like this configuration ("Finder Frame Rate", link below)  is not ...

Prior to this SonyPixelShift2DNG the Pixel Shift images did not drop too conveniently to a Lightroom based RAW-workflow, which propably is the most used one. And Sony software is slow and clumsy, ...
