Interesting perspective. Unlike some of the recent Sony artisans, he actually is a long-time Sony user, who really understands their systems.
He agrees with what I've been saying about A-mount -- Unfortunately it is dead, and they may just string long time users along with a new body occasionally.
I'm surprised that he opined APS-C e-mount is now video only --- The A6300/6500 are performance-still cameras, as well as video. While Sony's emphasis is definitely full frame, I think they do see APS-C are more than just video.
It does seem tho, that Sony's philosophy now is not to introduce any entry level type cameras --- Just tell low budget buyers the older models at discount. Every new camera seems designed for higher budget customers... When was the last Sony camera that was introduced at a MSRP under $1000?
Starting to put the FE ZA 55mm 1.8 through it's paces. The rendering reminds me of my Sony ZA 24mm 1.8, which isn't too surprising since they're both Sonnar Zeiss lenes. The 55mm is sharper however and as good as the 24mm bokeh was (especially for a wide angle) it can't match the creamy 55mm.
a few more with the 55mm...
this was taken in the middle of the day, in the middle of the desert. I was able to keep the sky in check and pull shadows pretty easily in post.
Great pics..... and that's the full frame difference. If you try out a 85/1.4 or 85/1.8.. you'll really be blown away by the background blur.
How is the 10-18 working on the A7rii?
ND filter?

I want the A9.
If it wasn't $5000, I'd be switching brands fully back to Sony right now.
Lol. you beat me too it.
No more compromises with mirrorless and plenty of advantages. Kinda amazing it took until 2017 to say that. Very much overkill for me but what a beast!
