I apologize if you are tired of pictures featuring a blocky black building, but I tried some more lenses with the A7II today, and .. well ..
All pics are 100% crops. As all samples today are from the A7II, the scaling doesn't matter.
Here is the Minolta 28/2 at f/4, courtesy of Manouch Shirzad.
Wide open, the lens has character - perhaps too much - point sources have weird halos (not visible in this capture).
Jumping to the long end, here's another great Minolta lens, the 70-210 f/4. This is full zoom and wide open!
IBIS is necessary at this point. If we stop down a bit and keep the ISO from shooting up, and turn stabilization off - ok, that's a lot of work to prove a point - we get
Here is the Canon 70-200/2.8L version 1 at 170mm and f/5.6. Although AF works with the metabones adapter, it is very slow, taking a few passes. Backing off from full zoom and stopping down makes Moire appear
And finally, the Canon 400/5.6 with 1.4x. This is hand held! Recall that the building is over half a mile away...
I'll try to photograph something else now,
Matt
