Official Sony A7 or A7r discussion thread (Season II)


I can help to get a 35 if anyone is keen. Travelling tomorrow afternoon. Pm me.
 

Make sense to me... if they can bring in and out of the customs, then many things can be brought in and out without control.

They can bring in/out between the 2 e-hub shops (1 inside, 1 outside) ... just can't bring out from Sony
 

And one more for comparison to RX1-R 35mm fixed lens:

Unfair comparison definitely, since RX1-R is based on 24mpx and A7R/35FE is based on 36mpx. But in real life, A7R with 35FE will be sharper than RX1-R.

If you look at F2.8 on both systems, it would seem that the RX1-R has better acutance. However, DXOMark sharpness is based on acutance and MTF.

Yeap. Can't measure everything, but the simplest way is the MTF, especially centre MTF.

Love my RX1-R too, just that it is factual that A7R/35FE is sharper than RX1-R, and A7R/55FE is alot sharper than RX1-R. IQ definition is different though for different users, which include preference for colours, contrast, etc.

Tried out the 24-70mm f/4 demo set at Click this evening. Its pretty sharp but there is visible barrel distortion at 24mm. I think I see some pincushioning from 50mm onwards too. Definitely getting the lens though.

According to the MTF chart, there's also astigmatism towards the edges (quite significant at 24mm), so it's way sharper at the center. I wonder if this is visible ...
 

Is the SEL35F28Z low on stock? I'm thinking of selling mine after I get the SEL55F18Z...
 

Changi T1 have stocks for 35 & 55mm but saw about 2 boxes each.

Tokyo have ample stocks including 24-70 f4 selling @114095 yen after rebate tax. Was surprise ps4 not officially release yet in japan

Do you remember which shop in T1? E-Gadget Extra, or IT Cameras, or Sprint-Cass?
 

The big camera shop under sprint class.. Entrance turn to the left and walk down towards the end
