Indeed, a FABULOUS lens, beyond sharp and with the tremendous Zeiss color rendition…works well too on my NEX-7 as a 52mm
It’s good to see an A77-II review by a professional photographer. There’re plenty of trolls on this forum who need to be reminded: pros use A-Mount SLT.
Besides, the first comment to this review actually says: “I sold my Canon 7D and Canon 100-400mm L and picked up the Sony A77 Mark II and Sony 70-400mm G zoom”
E-Mount trolls can also use a reminder that people switch from Canikon to Sony due to the advantages of SLT.
What’s with the constant need to re-affirm how great A-mount and SLT is? “Hey look, there’s a pro over there using A-mount – he dumped Canon for Sony! SLT forever!”.
All it actually does is re-affirm how twitchy A-mount owners are at the moment.
It’s just reshering to see that outside of this forum with all this negativity created by a few doomsayers, people buy new SLT cameras, use them professionally, switch over from other brands and it’s life as usual.
Did i miss something? I thought pros use Canon and Nikon DSLRs.
But seriously: if, I repeat IF, pros use Sony cameras, than they use A-Mount and/or E-Mount. The A7S and the new cine zoom lens could even change the game more towards E-Mount. More and more pros have to do video too. They will be way more attracted by cameras like the A7S or Pana GH4 instead of A-Mount stuff. Just my 2ct.
I’m not calling a troll somebody who prefers a different camera system.
A person who’s saying that my camera system shall be cancelled in favor of their camera system is, however, a fat green troll who lives in a swamp with a donkey.
That is simply not true! At least here in the USA, among pros, many more shoot with an E-mount camera, usually as a second or third camera, than an A-mount camera. That’s especially true among Canon pros (which make up over 60% of all pros in the US) since it’s the only way to get lots of pixels with their Canon lens set. The number of Canon pros that have an a7R in their bag is significant.
Pretty much the same goes here in Sweden. I’ve been involved (for aerial shots) in several video productions and I have also been assigned to shoot stills at sports events. Ie, I meet a lot of professional video and stills photographers. Needless to say, I see a lot of RED, Blackmagic, Canon and Nikon cameras around. And when chatting with the guys, there is zero, absolutely ZERO interest in Sony A-mount. It does surprise me a little bit since I use an A77 for motorsports, and I think it works pretty well for stuff like that. E-mount however has definitely made a stir.
On assignments, I always have my A7R ready to shoot in a pouch in my
utility belt, and it has been a good conversation starter many times. Some photographers I meet have already added an A7/A7R/A7S to their equipment, and several photographers are considering getting one. Many want them as occasional B-cams or backups and some are getting them as their private cameras since they can’t stand the image quality they get from other small cameras.
If having first hand experience of what pros thinks of the Sony brand makes me a troll, well so be it.
Sison is The master of emptiest reviews ever. Specs for people, who cat’t read.
haha, I thought exactly the same
And he’s a whole year late. He should just own it and review vintage lenses.
F2.8 so its good for low light hahaha
Pro Tip for Product Video Reviews: Turn OFF auto focus.
Yeah but I can’t believe we both actually watched it. He’s got almost nothing going for him. He’s decent looking I guess and has an easy-listening accent.
I love you Sison. Call me.
That is being a bit harsh. Kudos for the effort, with a few more reviews under his belt and I’m sure will do better. The video does need a personal touch and some original insight to make it stand out though.
Funny I was just archiving a job I shot in Thailand with a rebel and a couple of fast primes. No I was not impressed with his photos or the 3D effect of the lens and for that money f2.8 isn’t going to cut it.
The Speemaster 50/0.95 is seriously awesome lens, highly recommended, will shoot it against Fd 55 1.2 aspherical and 50mm f1.2L, and it might be actually better…!
