    Sony What Sony native lens has the best MICRO CONTRAST?

    Above photo with Rx1 35mm 2.8 Preordered a new Sony A7R3 after my RX1 broke :-( So instead of buying a old Sony RX1r2 I opted for the new A7R Question is, what will be my first lens and how close can I come to the RX1 in image quality and most important to me, micro contrast. Potentially my...

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    ā€œ..RF lenses are designed for cameras with a short Flange distance- they are close to the sensor..ā€ .but the short flange distance of Leicas is greater than the very short flange distance of the Sony A7 ā€˜FEā€™ (and A9) cameras. Thatā€™s why an adapter can be fitted between Leica-fit lenses and the...

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    Beautiful shots, love the look. Thanks for the link to your Flicker. I am off to stare at your photos in the Nokton folder. Thanks. Now this lens isn't a M mount right? Its for DSLR's specifically F or FX mount it seems. With Cpu contacts? So it doesn't need any modifications. Could be the...

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    Right but do these lens also need uhm sensor modification as LensHacker stated, to function properly with digital bodies? That was completely new to me. Since I have never used RF lens on a digital body. Closest I have done is Canon on a Sony body. Or Nikon on Canon bodies. And it didn't look...

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    4?! But of course. Do these types of lens work with a A7r series or do they also need modifications, that I just discovered. Oh man. This is getting more difficult to settle on. A Vintage lens education could take forever.

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    Incredible snap especially with the older Zeiss. What a glow and pop and crackle yet still sublime. Makes me want to get a cat. Almost lol But I see what u mean by the more modern look in the first shot. What a great way to gain insight into older lenses and their qualities.

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    Great shots! And thanks for the links. I will have to look closely at these photos but at first impressions they seem very modern looking. Or maybe thats just my eye? I had no idea I was opening such a can of issues when I was hoping for RF quality on a Sony moment body. So much for an easy...

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    Wow, thanks for the great information. Kinda thrashes my hopes, for getting that Leica POP from a Sony with Leica lens or manual RF lens. But that could save me ALOT of money! And it does make sense that perhaps the Sony wouldn't get the full quality from manual lens meant for Leica range...

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    I think the 1.5 version is on top of the list so far for quality and pricing. I'll have to look at the differences tween the two.

    Agreed, sadly I can do nothing about that except, accept it and look at the results.

    Fuji Difficulty with Xpro2 raw files and opinions needed.

    Yeah, that suggestion certainly has merit. And Have been trying that. I don't think the 35mm F2 has very good sharpness, while the 16mm is pretty good. I would like an overall sharper photo than what I am getting from Fuji, and more like my other Nikon and Sony files. That said I am NOT a...

    Fuji Difficulty with Xpro2 raw files and opinions needed.

    The Fuji Jpg's tend to SMOOTH out the worms and often produces waxy skin or smudging especially at higher ISO's So, I would assume the engineers are aware of it. Though not in the way they are in Aliens: Covenant!

    Sony I am now full on with Sony

    I would love to hear about or see some examples of perhaps comparing the A7r2 and various lenses with the outstanding quality of the Rx1. A7r2 bodies are selling at some great prices and it will only get better. I am trying to find a combo of lens and body that has the POP and Micro-contrast...

    Sony Looking for images shot with A7r2, great 50mm's like Voigtlander

    Hi, My Sony RX1 committed suicide by the flashing light of error E:63:00 So the focusing and manual are dead. Possibly to be replaced by a A7r2. I refuse to go used again. So, I am looking for images that are shot on the A7r2 with GREAT micro contrast 50mm lenses. Be it Leica, Voigtlander...

    Fuji Difficulty with Xpro2 raw files and opinions needed.

    I ask myself that often also. What does Fuji think of this and how or when will they address it? There is plenty of evidence on the net and various so called workarounds to lessen the worms etc So Fuji must be aware of it and think that they have been trying to work with Adobe more closely...

    Fuji Difficulty with Xpro2 raw files and opinions needed.

    Oh yes, agree the processing is the culprit here. And Fuji should address the issue by putting out their own software that works best or helping Adobe far more. I also have shot raw and Jpg but at ISO's about 640 the smudging and skin waxing isn't really what I was hoping for. Its a look that...

    Fuji Difficulty with Xpro2 raw files and opinions needed.

    Here is a sample from the new Capture One 10.1 and with careful sharpening, you may be able to avoid the worms and smudging. No photo shopping or anything, just pure raw, a tad clarity and sharpening to test. This is the best I have seen so far from a raw convertor. Still, should a raw file be...

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    Thanks That is very useful information and I suppose I would love to know the main differences in the profiles but obviously that is also relational to the newer sensor and how the profiles pulls out the data and controls it. the original RX1 is an entirely different beast and that has become...

    Fuji Difficulty with Xpro2 raw files and opinions needed.

    Hello all, I have an Xpro 2 and I shoot with the 35mm 2.0 and the 16mm. Much to my chagrin, I think I need an education on understanding how to process the raw files properly or what I should be expecting from Fuji and what is beyond its abilities or what I am foolishly projecting. Firstly I...

    Fuji Moving on from Fuji

    I am very interested in your experience with Sony and Leica or Viogtlander lens Since I also have a Fuji Xpro 2 and am considering moving to your same road. I loved my Sony RX1 but it recently died, sadly. If you have any samples of your Sony experience I would love to see them or hear about...

    Sony Showcase RX1 Images

    The RX1 does look like it has superior micro contrast. Do you have an opinion of the differences tween the two cameras rendering etc? And thank you for posting this images, its very useful in my search. Have you ever tried the A7r2 with a Leica lens or a Viogtlander? TIA

    The E:61:00 error indicates that the focusing mechanism of the RX1 is no longer working. There was no earthly event that transpired before it's most dreaded arrival. There are indication on the internet when the ERROR # is investigated that it does occur on a too regular level. Though I had...

    Nikon Showcase Nikon Coolpix A Image Thread

    The color rendering of the Nikon straight out of the Coolpix is nice. I attempted to upload a smaller image than the last too big for a post file. Anyone know the optimum setting for Jpg's size ratios because the keys that are SHARP in LR are not so much on this jpg?

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    I completely agree. The original has an amazing rendering that isn't duplicated by the next version. I managed to buy another original and sadly after a week of using it I got the dreaded E:61:00 error on screen and the camera refuses to focus. And I'm out 1k, may have to send it in for repair...

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    Agreed. Which is why I plan at the moment to buy an RX1 and some Sony a7 model. I'm just very interested in the perspective of how IQ or rendering is different tween various rx1 models. I do see a difference in IQ as u said tween rx1 and A7r2 with many possible lens combos. Although I'm...

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    What I have gained from my research or educating my eyes. Is a new found appreciation for the A7r2 and it's comparative costs to the Rx1r2 And the Rx1r seems quite close to the original but of course with added sharpness. So I am considering buying the Rx1r possibly and an A7r2 Since it looks...

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    Exactly. I want all the upgrades of the Mark 2 and the rendering of the original. So I was trying to educate my eyes to see the differences in the two. to see if I could quantify the differences or be more certain as to what really is my preference. Or discern if its a psychological effect. So...

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    Actually the money isn't the issue. I spent a lot to get the RX1 initially. I am really trying to educate my mind and my eyes. To see the value of the Mark 2. I do see a lot of resolution and a wealth of added technology like better AF, which I would love. But so far the Mark 2 still doesn't...

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    I was actually thinking of getting an A7r2 or the 3 when it comes out as I have been looking at those files and some are very nice. It would be perhaps better than a rx1r2 since you can add lenses. and its cheaper and the rx1 would be the MILKY file creator.
  48. Grokgod

    Sony Original RX1 vs RX1r2 rendering, which is better?

    That really good advise! I agree my reservation about AF is the reason I sold my lovely rx1 in the first place. It was the inability to get the shots I wanted due to AF being so DOG slow. and the additional new attributes are very important like EYE AF. I hadnt actually though of trying to...
