Reviews of cameras, lenses, tripods, heads and other accessories written by Piero Patanè

Sony A7

Pros: Lightness, compactness, strength, ergonomics, possibility to adapt any optics, file quality, dynamic range, price.

Cons: None considered the price.

Opinion: Considering the year in which it was released, the quality/price ratio has always been very high over the years. As before full frame it is really difficult to find better at so little. I totally disagree with those who criticize its ergonomics, it returns an excellent tactile feeling and is comfortable to hold and shoot in all conditions. The only questionable thing is the location of the button to start video recording, but patience. With cheap adapter rings, you can adapt any optics, especially vintage ones, I really used everything. Among other things, very convenient magnification of the electronic viewfinder (for me become essential) to focus in manual. Although the batteries do not last long, they are small, light and cheap, so it costs nothing to carry 3 or 4 behind, managing to cover even the most demanding day. Overall I would recommend it to all amateur photographers who like to shoot with vintage lenses and who approach full frame for the first time.

Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Vario Tessar T*

Pros: All that has nothing to do with the quality of the image, excluding the price.

Cons: optical quality. Price.

Opinion: Lens from the optical quality incomprehensibly mediocre, with one of the reports quality / price worst ever tried. flat images. A 24 mm is unusable even at f / 8. If you start with 28 mm and keep it always at f / 8 it is also good, but it makes sense to spend so much and then do what? Might as well use 28-70. excellent tactile feeling, good looking, light, but this is not enough to justify the cost.
