CSP, this is not about what is right or wrong, this is about balance, we can argue and counter argue all day long because we, as with everyone else, have different needs, requirements and ways of shooting. I honestly don't care how anyone else shoots or what they shoot with, the point of my post is to show that there is always an alternative view point. I don't have an issue with shooting MF in any situation I have come across so far, that may change, you prefer using eye focus with the sony, I prefer using single point and I actually change all my cameras to single point just because it is my personal preference. I have thousands of portraits shot in a wide variety of natural and studio light, I know what I like and how I like to work.shooting with an single focus point is so awkward and feels so wrong after experiencing eye focus on a7r2. i´m too old to work with gear which AF did not much improve in the last 30 years and has a performance like a minolta 9000. when i shoot portraits i want to work with the people in front and not with the camera.
also it seems this was not a really dimm location when you can shoot @iso 200 and the ambient is in balance too....
Maybe it's time for this thread to be put to bed, the answer is for some there is a compelling reason, for others none at all, who really cares apart from the individual? Surely nobody is daft enough to think that if they bang on about how their choice of kit is the right one, everyone else is going to agree, sell what they have and buy what's right for someone else do they?
