Really like it, great work. Bokeh works well
Great image!
If you look closely at the Bokeh balls, you'll notice that they aren't perfectly round, very similar trait to the Zeiss Batis.
For no reason whatsoever, except perhaps vanity, I got myself one of these:

Actually quite nice to hold now with my pinky on the grip, not under the body. Not sure it's worth the price - especially with delivery, and non-sterling transaction fees - but as work paid for all my lighting gear as I did the company headshots, thought I'd treat myself
Hefty drop on the a7RII at Castle Cameras today, £500 off, cheapest UK price for a long long time.
£2,500? Maybe they know something
Seems to still be full price everywhere else.
I've posted general real world issues of the camera that make it unusable for studio workThere will always be issues but I do think that sometimes some of these issues are just internet bragging rights or internet whinges issues rather than significant real world issues. People pointing out world ending issues is another thing that's across all brands.
PS.
I've been sat here thinking what to buy myself but apart from a 50mm macro and a compact 35mm f1.8 I can't think of anything I want.
Tbh though a grey is just over 2k what's Sony uk thinking at 3k. P take.
Maybe Sony will announce the A7III too along side both A9 models? MmmmmA7iii next hopefully.
I thought of you as I typed and knew it'd only be a matter of time before you called in for a whinge so I win myself a cheese sarnieI've posted general real world issues of the camera that make it unusable for studio work
I do like Zeiss rendering.
I usually lurk on this thread as some time I'll get a A7x. At the mo my A6000 suits me just fine for the vast majority of the time.

Just noticed I've had an email from Calumet saying that the new prices on the A7 line are from Sony, A7sii has gone down too,
Anyone tempted at these prices?Just noticed I've had an email from Calumet saying that the new prices on the A7 line are from Sony, A7sii has gone down too,

I can't say I'm tempted really as my 1st gen A7 does everything I want it to. If I buy anything for my A7 system it's much more likely to be a lens than a camera and given what I'd like (a compact 35mm f1.8/2 and/or a 50mm macro with decent focusing) probably isn't anyones priority at the moment I can't see me buying anything anytime soon.
Not at all, still far too expensive.
Still save approximately £500 buy going grey.
So if they price on the grey market dives as well that could be very interesting.
Apart from the studio flash issue are there any BIG real world weaknesses with these cameras? I suppose tracking ability is still a weakness but that doesn't matter to me.Still save approximately £500 buy going grey.
