A6500 ibis: how many stops?
Thanks ggibson. Exactly what I was looking for. Now I am more convinced on the a6300 -

A6500 ibis: how many stops?
Yes, I absolutely agree. As a matter of fact, I am considering the 6300. But I was wondering what I was losing. -

A6500 ibis: how many stops?
I have an A7, but I am partial to crop cams for a number of obvious reasons (weight, primarily). I am also using a Nex 6 (I started with the very first Nex 5) and it's no slouch, just different. So if I can get the same iq (as it would seem from comments) in a smaller form factor, I do not find... -

A6500 ibis: how many stops?
Apologies if this was already discussed. How many stops is the advantage of ibis? Some say 5 (which is huge) or 2 (which is nice but not great). What's your experience? -

Mild Rant - What the $%&^ Does "Lens is Too Clinical" Mean?
For me, it's a lack of subtlety or a lot of unnaturalness. As the resolution increases and lenses become more perfect and inevitably all the same, my feeling is that photos tend to look like computer renditions. Beautiful perhaps, but lifeless. It depends on the subject, of course. -

Mild Rant - What the $%&^ Does "Lens is Too Clinical" Mean?
It might be a Meyer Trioplan, a lens that I am working with lately and that I like very much. A lowly triplet. (I hope I am not a spoilsport) Btw, the debate on boring perfection and exciting imperfection is not really confined to digital. In the largeformatphotography forum a number of... -

Mild Rant - What the $%&^ Does "Lens is Too Clinical" Mean?
I do not have the 55 FE, nor I plan to buy it, but I feel some discomfort with some images I see. I would not use the term too clinical, I feel that these images are as artificial as most HDR images are. Let me take a different angle. When the first CD player came out, I rushed to buy a few... -

Re: Fun With Sony _____ Cityscapes> I listen to your heart, city Renzo Piano's skyscraper (nothing to write home about) looms like the creature from the outer space over the graceful art nouveau district in Turin, Italy. The original photo was taken with a robot head and is 134 Mpix... -
