Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
This is Carnglaze Caverns...It’s part of the Cornish tourist trail but well worth a visit
Pretty dark in the Caverns so photography is pretty useless without a tripod (You can’t use flash in case you disturb the sleeping bats)
I improvised and found a loose old post in the Cavern and used it like a monopod....A7R OSS/on 16-35mm iso400 F/4.0 at 6 seconds (a new PB).

A 100% crop out of the centre of a frame taken of a fox which frequents our back garden using the unbelievably powerful FE 90/2.8 on a A7R.
iso320 f4 1/200 - this is literally straight out of a RAW file imported into in LR, with only lens profile and cropping applied.

Did you have OSS switched On? TIA.

Thanks, the animals are almost tame since we feed them scraps on a regular basis. I love the way they will stare you down without necessarily being threatening. i think they are genuinely intrigued by humans much in the way dogs are. To answer your question, I always leave OSS on. I think I've turned it off once recently when I was doing some tripod mounted stuff.

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
On the A7r I get pitch and yaw image stabilization, on the A7r2 additionally roll, X and Y stabilization.
X and Y stabilization is most important for close ups. Therefore for macro shots I prefer the lens on the A7r2.
Otherwise it's mostly on the A7r.
Thanks LouisB, I do the same. have OSS on the lens switched to On, whether it's mounted on my A7r or A7r2.

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
Here are a few more shots from my recent San Fran trips. Most of these were from the first leg with the a7 and FDn 50/1.4. I think one or two are from the second leg of the trip with the a7 II with the same lens. Hope you enjoy these as well.

When I do handheld pans, I like to make sure I've got tons of overlap. AutoPano then does an amazing job of putting it together.

I don't want to reduce your bank balance... but you're worth it and so is the lensI have to get that lens... my CG 90 just does not have the same pop ...... I was hoping
This lens is driving my desire for a A7rII - more and more cropping power (plus the additional stabilisation).

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
I had just attached to the A7r2 and calibrated for the right distance my Olympus Dot Sight EE-1 when I saw the rider with his horses stop at the road to let a car pass by. I simply pointing my sighting device towards the horses and rider and snapped a picture with A7r2 AF. Here it is, reduced twice by a factor of 2x each time. So, going from 7952x5304 to 3976x2652 and then to 1988x1326 pixels. A reduction in linear size by 4x or a factor of 16x in pixels.
I then made a 100% crop of similar size of the central parts of the image.
Still stunning detail IMHO. Well, street photography in my neck of the woods seems a tad different from your typical urban centers. :grin:
Thanks LouisB. Indeed it is an extraordinary lens and delivers stunning detail on the A7r and especially on the A7r2.I don't want to reduce your bank balance... but you're worth it and so is the lens

Lovely capture and amazing detail. The horses really stand out from the background so focus is spot on.
That is exactly what I am seeing when I crop with this lens on the albeit 'lower' resolution of the A7R. Quite extraordinary.
I tend to benchmark lenses by reference to my Sigma Merrills as these are the sharpest lens/sensor cameras I own. I never thought I'd see a Bayer sensor camera and lens equal them. This lens/sensor combo does.
I also use it for macro on my A7S. I lose the cropability but I gain very fast speeds. The detail when it all comes together with this glass is also extremely good indeed. Well done to Sony. We had to wait for it but it was worth waiting for.
