The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

I forgot to add the Samyang 12mm, but I also need a 35mm, as I had to trade the siggie 35 art in too, but it was a heavy beastie with the MC11 converter!

I forgot to add the samyang 12mm which I seem to have stored for use as a paperweight :)

They are awesome but test out the 70-200mm f2.8 GM first as mine didn't impress me that much more than the G f4 version.
Having owned the Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8 and 85mm 1.4 G Master, the Batis was more snappier to focus but perhaps this speed of the 85mm 1.4 GM is improved on the Sony A9.
I also owned the 24-70mm f2.8 GM and this is one sharp lens edge to edge, if you wanted you could easily replace your primes if you can get by with f2.8.
Overall the G Masters are build like tanks and are among the best lenses made, you just have to pay for them as they are not cheap. :(

The 85mm g master is still faster than the Fuji 56mm. The difference is like night and day.

Re the 70-200 I think that's testament to the f4 version. A lens can only get so sharp.

Yes I agree, its faster than the Fujinon 56mm f1.2 but its also more expensive :D lol
I didn't spend too much time with the 70-200mm GM nor could I do back to back tests..... but yes the G f4 versions is a cracking lens for the money.

Never seen so many photos from people with a camera ;) anyone take any, any more or just like to chat about them lol

Well said that man!
"Talk Equipment->All the camera owners>Sony..." doesn't seem appropriately named for images TBH
There have been some images before in here by a few stalwarts [woof-woof & jonneymendoza to name but two] but I think all the GAS has quite understandably got peeps "TALKing EQUIPMENT"
If there was the will, wouldn't it be possible to have a Sony thread such as "Sony Images" [or whatever] so that folks in this thread could join such that they blether in here about gear but will commit to bunging some images in a sister thread?
 
Photo's you say... here is one... taken on the Sony A7RII with Zeiss 55mm f1.8 :D

 
About pictures. v words.

This section of the forum is about gear and isn't necessarily a place to post pretty pictures.

The pictures I've posted in here have often been to show what the gear can do (or as it's me... what it can't do with me pressing the buttons and how I can f*** it up big style...) but I also post pretty not really showing off the gear pictures too :D

I like pictures :D but I can't really complain if people just want to talk as this is the gear section and there are about a million threads on this forum to post pictures (landscape, portrait etc... there are hundreds of them...) if people don't want to post them here :D

Anyway...

So I said "How come when you wear jeans and a T shirt you look gorgeous and sexy and stylish and when I wear one I look like a scruffy bloke in jeans and a T shirt?"

She said...

No I better not tell you :D

After a few options of a A7R paired with the 24-70 f4, I know someone who might be selling this pair. It would used for landscapes, I recently went from a Nikon D810 to a Fuji XT-2 mainly for the weight and while I do love the Fuji I been lusting after 36mp again.
Certainly don't want to go back down the Nikon route.
So any first hand opinions would be appreciated.
Is the so called shutter shock any thing to worry about since must of mine would be shot with a tripod?
Many thanks in advance.

Shutter shock can be an issue and the 2470 f4 isn't very good.

Cheers Twist I did read some stuff that mentioned what you said just wanted some first hand reviews. Look like I might give it a miss then don't really want to spend the cash the A7R11 cost along with the price of the f2.8 24-70.
Thanks again.

I had a couple of copies of the 24-70 f4 a few years back, there seems to be huge sample variation, if you get a good one its a good lens, not as good as the f2.8 but good. However if you get a bad one its truly awful.
