The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Pros: 3D pop, colors, bokeh, flare, totally unique image rendering Cons: variance of centering between different specimens, chromatic aberrations, strong TA vignetting Opinion: If we imagined the 35mm GM as an audio CD, this Zeiss would be one of the best vinyls out there. The 35mm GM is undoubtedly more precise, more modern, sharper, with effects such as flare and aberrations kept much better under control, but ultimately anonymous. For portraiture guys, what is not this Zeiss. Just try shooting at f/1.4 against the light or in order to try to induce flare and you will be amazed not by a hard and present flare but rather very soft, which makes the image with an extremely particular and mystical atmosphere that is simply gorgeous, with colors as if you had already applied a "warm" and pleasant LUT: Practically the image is already ready straight out of camera without corrections, beyond any retouching of the skin. The 3D rendering and the bokeh are something absolutely exceptional, for portraits personally I would take this Distagon versus the GM all my life. I think it's the lens with the most vignetting I've ever seen, quite present up to f/2.8, I don't consider it a particular defect in 2024 since with two clicks you can correct it if you want. chromatic aberrations quite present in some scenarios, but not excessive. Also tried for astrophotos, it is perhaps not the best lens (the GM in this case is better, for stacked exposures the chromatic aberrations risk adding up and at that point they become quite invasive on a photo of that type) but also in relation to the price at which it is especially used, it is fine. Eye that there is a certain variety of sharpness at the edges due to an extreme variability of the center of the lens, mine is perfectly centered but I have read of examples that are not. sent on September 23, 2024 |
 | Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Pros: nothing. Perhaps stabilization. Cons: all Opinion: The worst lens I've ever seen. As an amateur for years it made me lose the desire to shoot, until I decided to take the Zeiss 35 1.4 and the Sony G 90 2.8 macro that made me rediscover what you can get out of a camera. The Nikkor 18-55 kit? In another universe as a surrender, optically there is no story, it wins by a very large distance. I had a Samsung S10+ that shot in raw files better than the 28-70 sony, the S23 ultra that I have now needless to say, they too win by a great margin and we are talking about mobile phones, the first even from 2019. The construction is a plastic abomination, the rubber of the ferrules seems to be recycled from used shoe soles, in fact today it is bleached just by staying inside the camera bag. Total absence of contrast, the landscapes are ultra-compressed, the colors suck, sharpness not even reached f / 8, the photographic quality is similar to that which could be obtained from a disposable Kodak of 2000 if not worse, the uses in which this lens can be used the same, or at most the photos for a sinister observation. Rather than taking this lens shoot with your mobile phone, really, you will get a higher quality in less space. I wonder what such a kit lens does with top-of-the-line cameras, seriously do they dare to offer it with the A7 IV? Like taking a Ferrari and putting the wheels of the Coop trolley in the place of the Pirellis. Save yourself the 200 euros difference and invest them instead in the 50 1.8 sony, at least you won't have an ornament to worry about just how to get rid of it. For those who say: "eh but at 50 euros used..." - no, I wouldn't even want it as a gift, rather I shoot with the S23 ultra. sent on August 08, 2024 |
 | Sony A7 Pros: FF, compactness, both JPG and RAW file quality, current cost, lens compatibility Cons: FHD only video, battery life, slow AF and no eye AF, ergonomics, WB tending to yellow (it is solved already in the camera by setting AWB to B1 M1) Opinion: I start the review by saying two things: it's a 2013 camera and the kit lens is probably the worst bottle bottom you've ever picked up, so if you've only tried it with that I understand the negative reviews I read. That said, the camera body today can be found at an absolutely low price, less than 400 euros, and at a photographic level it is still a camera body that for certain subjects such as landscapes, street, portraits (although the eye AF is missing, but I also remind you that until a few decades ago you only shot manually and even today some of the most prestigious and expensive lenses in the world such as the Zeiss Otus are only manual), especially in lighting conditions up to fair, it allows you to churn out absolutely professional level work. It is not a camera that I would never take today for sporting events, astrophotography, birdlife or other uses in which capturing the moment is important. But if you're not in a hurry to shoot, like in the old days of film, and therefore want to experience the essence of photography, this camera is great. In the dark and in low light conditions, however, the AF becomes almost unusable. Unfortunately today it suffers from the competition at the same price with the mark 2 which for 50 euros more on the used allows you to have a much better AF, better ergonomics, 4K video and IBIS, so today it is difficult to prefer it again only for these extra functions despite having photographic qualities all in all extremely similar, but for those who have it I would have no problem continuing to use it, the resulting files are really excellent and like many current FF cameras (always in good light conditions) especially in association with modern lenses such as GM and Zeiss, the kit 28-70 lens has a quality comparable to that of a high-end smartphone, therefore essentially unusable (nothing to do with kit lenses like the 18-55 Nikkor, decidedly superior). Both the Mark 1 and the Mark 2 that share the same sensor have the nefarious Sony color science tending to yellow, it is fixed in the camera (custom AWB B1 M1) or in post but it is something to keep in mind. The ability to recover over- and underexposed areas is absurd, the sensor has a dynamic range absolutely on par with current flagships - assuming that you shoot in RAW of course. sent on August 08, 2024 |
 | Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Pros: materials, sharpness, bokeh, stabilizer Cons: scale reproduction does not rotate in AF, making it more difficult to understand that relationship is working. Opinion: A fantastic goal on all fronts, both on macro portraiture that expresses its full potential. Great creamy bokeh, thanks to 9 aperture blades. Excellent sharpness, a razor already at full aperture is obviously at the center to the edges, good control of flare, superb build quality, with the use of high quality plastic and metal. Very convenient also the possibility to change from AF to MF simply pushing up or downwards the ring focus. The weight is not excessive, as well as the size, comparable to the other party producers canon and nikon, however on mirrorless Sony A7 (especially one mark as my own, where the handle is still the "small") to balance it better would be advisable the use of a battery grip. Works very well integrated stabilizer, allowing you to remove the micro moved also using time low as 1 / 15s. Good key locations, including the blocking of focus. sent on November 02, 2015 |
