“The macro of the women”? Hehe. No joking…
My favourites:
Mike’s – love the composition/framing and b&w !

Nevertheless all images are great!!! There’s got to be time for mentining this…..congrats to all….
Oh the pervs are never sleeping and everywhere or what?
Help to reduce them……please….
Ultra Kill.
Are all SAR readers addicted to Unreal (tournament)??
Gamers/Zockers = Sony camera users???
Oh my god…..every day new insights…..;)
Well, if you’ve seen a thread with everyone replying to pancanikonpus…then I would be inclined to agree.
So far, though, its mostly him and me and I haven’t played Unreal Tournament for 10 years. Actually, the sounds come from Quake, not Unreal, which is considerably older.
These days I have no time or dedication to play any game.
That being said, the commentator from Quake is iconic enough to have made it to many FPS games.
A lot of people know the tune to Mario Bros…and some know Unreal too.
Goes to show that the A7 series is not exactly limited for portrait lenses, the 85mm is tiny and awesome and cheap. This question comes up so often and nobody ever chooses the 85mm f2.8 despite how good it is and how size appropriate for the A7’s it is. Great shot!
I agree. But it is rather noisy focusing and with the adaptor becomes bigger. However it is very cheap and has good reviews. Sony MUST bring more cheaper alternatives for FE lens but good ones like the SAL 85mm. It also needs to raise the game with Apsc lens for crop cameras.
Focussing is noisy, because it is cheap. Cheap build, cheap AF motor. It becomes bigger with adapter, but still far from big or heavy. I think it is a good compromise for the price.
Agreed, that lens is outstanding. I am waiting to see what Sony will offer in e-mount, but I doubt there will be any better value.
I have the 85mm f2.8 and it was the first fullframe lens I bought for my a850 when I got it last year brand new (yup, it was really hard to find a850 in my country Panama and found another a850 brand new and still considering purchasing it as a second body if nothing interesting comes from Sony this year).
The reason I bought it was mainly because of a series of photography sessions I saw at dpreview forums of this guy from Russia that runs some threads titled “Some Portraits from Russia (a850 + 85mm f2.8)” and it’s really amazing what this tiny lens is capable of in adecuate hands. Sharp wide open, small, light. Yes, the AF motor is noisy but it locks, rarely hunts. This lens is the sole reason I decided to skip the 85mm f1.4 ZA and buy the 24, 50 and 135 instead. Most of the time I will shoot at f4 anyways so I don’t mind the max. f2.8 aperture compared to f1.4 from the Zeiss.
I’m waiting Sony to release another easy choice lens for fullframe cameras because so far I’m glad I bought the 50mm f1.8 for APS-C and the 85mm f2.8 for fullframe cameras. And the price is okay.
The hat lady picture – was it the depth of field i.e. Lens set at 1.4 or post production processing that has the lady in full focus and not the surrounding.
I think it’s post processing because nothing else is in focus along side her other than a guy on the left.
So if it is processing – how do I do that in Lightroom, anyone?
no that is just the outstanding/marvelous face detection of the sony A99;)……
I dont think it was done during post proecessing….but might wrong too???
Hope the sony A99II is coming soon and will be revolutioning and shaking the whole market with its features IBIS, FF, silent shutter, WIFI, GPS…
You’re noting to get GPS, given the a77ii. Shutter probably won’t be silent but it’ll definitely be quieter than the a7 (larger housing etc) and a whole quieter than anything with a mirror slapping around.
It’s just composed in such a way that other things that would be on the same focus plane are obscured by other people etc in the foreground.
Exactly – it’s all about the angle and blocking other people that would otherwise be in same plane/luck. It’s also how event photographers achieve the 2 people in focus look.
