Sony A7/(r) image sharing thread #3

[chipvn]

You'll get vignetting and a bit of magenta cast at the sides which is correctable in PP. I find it very useable in A7. Even on A7S, I do see the magenta cast too.

A7 + CV12. See the left of this pic at the white road marker for the obvious magenta cast.

Yes, it is correct. But too me, it is not too obvious in many scenes.

you use the A7 right? Any issues with this lens? I'd thought that only the A7s works well with it.

You can, as I'm using now, just install Sony Lens compensation App on A7 and adjust the slight cast and vignetting directly within the app. They will apply the compensation directly to the RAW file and you can just simply convert with any RAW converter without any other correction. Do watch out for the M to E adaptor and also the filter (even clear type like the latest series from Marumi which badly cause the color casting), the 12/5.6 is very sensitive to both of them on Sony A7 series.

Regarding to the corner performance, different RAW converter will use different demosaicing algorithm. Some demosaicing algorithm optimized for best resolution ans sharpness might make the corner performance of VC 12/5.6 become quite bad on A7. However, some demosaicing algorithm might not be the best in resolution and sharpness but help improve a lot corner performance of VC 12/5.6 on A7 (Sony RAW converter is one of them but use only 1 demosaicing algorithm). I use RAW Therapee as it allows you to select different demosaicing algorithm for different scenarios you need and more important, it is free

quite interestingly, on the A7S, instead of a magenta cast, i see a slight cyan/greenish cast. opposite of the A7R.

but i find the corners actually quite easy to fix.

thanks for the replies to my query! I'll try my friend's CV 12mm when I see him! ;p

Cv12 is nice.
So wide, so small.
Its a good choice, I am sure you can make good use of it.

bought already? hehe...

i am also using CV12 on my A7R... magenta not too difficult to get rid of especially when you are shooting longer exposures at the blue hour or at night.

I am going against the flow and advice u to wait for CV15 mk3 I am waiting for that too hehe.

Wah. U got a7s and a7r ah. 👍

Bro, nice perspective as usual.
Haiz. A bit regret selling my 12mm for 1635. 4mm really makes a difference

a7S, CV12

Thanks bro yeah took a chance with CV12 and CV21 both i like so gat the CV21 seems to be always on mu A7r hehe. I need to shoot more using CV12 hehe

Yeah bro very small and good for travel hehe

Ooopp, I just want to share my love with this 12mm angle only!

Bro, nice perspective as usual.

Thank you, bro.

To me, 12mm is a very special focal length and might not suit to everyone but once you love it, it is very difficult to be replaced!

 

[cactibin]

12mm is indeed a special lens and tool.
And it's so small, light and handy.

a7S, CV12

Yeah.. if what is described by their revision objectives comes true, then I would think that its the best thing to gravitate to.
