This. A7R3 is significantly improved, but A7R2 was already good specially in good light, even with adapted & long glass. I had practically zero focus misses with A7R + LA-EA3 + 70-400 SSM2 in ...

The noisy banding could be related to more sensor self-heating even during normal use; always-on liveview that means constant sensor reading & more processing etc being done constantly. Shorter ...

This. Sony A9 sensor is actually 1st stacked CMOS sensor (stacked = completely new level of readout speeds, 5x faster than before) that is bigger than 1 inch and other existing non-Sony stacked ...

Yes they can be made. There already exists a couple of F/0.95 lenses for E mount and F/1.2 lenses have been adopted to E mount without issues. What bigger lens mount enables is a bit lesser ...

Correct, the battery door will not open if left on camera. As for weather sealing, the bracket will decrease that; I've been meaning to to work on that a bit with Sugru or something similar, but ...

I have Gabale L-Plate on my A7R3, same model fits A7III/A9 too. Zero complaints so far and is quite reasonably priced https://www.ebay.com/itm/GABALE-QR-L-Plate-Bracket-Camera-Grip-Camera-Holder-fo ...

Yes. The EVF and LCD have different resolution with EVF having higher res so it is not even possible to have same fine-grained peaking due to different downscaling of the image shown.

Good info, somehow I did not really expect a difference there. But looking at the DR graphs I've kind though that all Nikons with native ISO64 sensors have been built with bigger per pixel ...

Disable "MF Assist" to get rid of this behavior. I'm not a fan of this fgunctionality either. Relevant Help Guide page http://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653127.html

Douh, should have seen the irony, but it I've seen way too many hopefuls stating "looks the adapted lenses work about as good as in D850" today; so this must have made my irony-detector to have a ...

I'm sorry but that list and line of reasoning does not hold water at all. AF technology is not same at all. Old lenses expect to be driven by huge solely PDAF points that work reasonably well in ...

Good stuff as always. What "Priority Set in AF-C" was used for AF-C testing? Gonna quess "AF", but I'm kind of interested if priority set makes a difference since "locked/tracked" state must be ...

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 ...
