    Rokinon 135mm f/2 on Sony A7RII

    The 42MP sensor on the A7RII is going to expose some lenses for being less sharp than one would like. The Rokinon / Samyang 135mm f/2 is not one of those lenses. This is wide open at f/2, and you can see the aliasing effects all the way down to the bottom of my son's shirt if you click through...

    I would never think of a 16-35 as a walkaround family lens...

    But I can see why some are doing that with the high-resolution cameras (A7R, A7RII, etc). Here's an example. This crop from an A7R photo taken at the long end of the FE16-35 zoom yields an 8.6MP image with the same framing one would have gotten with a 78mm lens from that distance: 100%...

    Nikon Orange Peel

    I'm waiting for my dad to return from a trip so I can borrow his D810 for testing. In the meanwhile, I decided to test this idea that "orange peel" texturing is a uniquely Sony phenomenon by going back through my Lightroom (LR) catalogue and looking at my 14-bit D600 files while using the...

    A7RII DxOmarked

    The thing that jumps out at me is the relatively high DR at high ISO. Basically a 1-stop advantage over the A7II and D810 once you pass ISO 1600: Link: Nikon D810 versus Sony A7 II versus Sony A7R II - Side by side camera comparison - DxOMark

    How to make Lightroom image look like what I'm getting from C1?

    There are a couple things I like about Lightroom: highlight clipping seems more graceful and workflow is very familiar But I always seem to get better results from C1. It's probably got a lot to do with my lack of expertise, so I'd appreciate if some of the LR users could provide some tips...

    Sharpening settings for A7RII in C1?

    Whereas the default sharpening settings look pretty good to me for the A7II, I find that the A7RII files need something extra in order to look good at 100%. Since the RII has no AA filter, I'm guessing this is because the lenses struggle to keep up with the sensor resolution. C1 users, what...

    That sickening feeling...

    A weekend in New Mexico with the Leica M

    I wanted to focus up on my recent gear advice thread with a photo thread. This past week I went to New Mexico with my dad and brother for an extended weekend where we rode in a balloon at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and did some additional photography in and around Albuquerque and Santa...

    Looking for a perspective from those who used to shoot Leica M and have moved on...

    I don't know if it's just the endless gear itch or whether I actually have a good reason for considering a switch. Currently I have a Micro Four Thirds kit as well as a Leica kit, but I mostly use the Leicas. You can get a sense of what I like to shoot from my Flickr stream: Flickriver...

    What is the preferred image size for posting in the forums these days?

    I've always posted here at the 1024px image size, but lately I've noticed more members posting images 1100px or 1300px wide. I think I've seen some 1600px wide images as well. My main monitor for reading these forums is 2560 wide, so I'd love for everyone to post 1600px images, but I know that...
