We got quite high response on our last Sony FE 16-35 f/4 ZA OSS post with RAW files available for download, so I decided to post also few shots with new Sony FE PZ 28-135 f/4 G OSS, lens made mainly for video, but of course, it can be used for still photography too. This…
There were many new lenses on this year Photokina and one would need much more time than I had to try them all. So, while I was mainly interested in Sigma Art series with their excellent 50/1.4 and 35/1.4, I couldn't resist to put this new Super-Tele Sigma on my Sony A7r. It happened many…
Introduction Sony FE 70-200 f/4 G OSS is a full frame standard tele-zoom lens made for Sony E-mount cameras. It is a longest lens in a so called holly trinity - zoom lenses which covers FL from 16-200mm (usually 16-35, 24-70 and 70-200) that most professional photographers relies on. Sony introduced first Sony Vario-Tessar T*…
Here is my story... Over years, I collected some 20+ Helios 44 lenses. (If you never heard of this lens, it is Russian copy of Zeiss Biotar 58/2, one of my favorite standard lenses). I did so partially out of curiosity to see how many variations I might discover (it is believed that anyone who…
I made few initial AF tests in one of my previous posts - click here, and I promised to make more tests to see if I can come to some conclusion...Meanwhile I saw and received few rude and disrespectful comments, mainly from anonymous people who probably misunderstood my original intention.But let me try to explain…

This new APS-C range finder styled camera from Sony - a6000 is promoted as a game changer when it comes to AF performance.If anything, Sony E-mount cameras are permanently criticized for few things - lack of native lenses, lack of proper weather sealing, bad interface ergonomics and slow Auto Focus.To delete last critics from the…
I can't say what is harder - finding "Perfect Lens" or finding "Perfect Testing Method". Especially knowing that neither exist.I published many "controlled" tests, mainly using ISO 12333 chart, but those charts and walls usually tells only part of the story.Unfortunately IMHO, most readers are referring to MTF tests and results, in general terms, considering…
Long time after my last post, but here is one short article about two nice "standard" lenses tested in a field on Sony A7. In the left corner - one of the holly grail standard lenses from the film era, holder of L title in the Canon World Lens League, highly sought after among lens…
It took me over 3 months and over 10000 shots with A7 and A7r, to get to the point where I am able to formulate at least partial opinion about those two Sony cameras. Was I lazy? Yes. Where there other reasons why it took me so long? Unfortunately yes... In the last several chapters…
