p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Testing my A7RII with some lenses I own


Now I've had my A7RII for a few days I've gotten a few minutes to run some tests with the lenses I own to decide on my personal landscape kit. I currently own the WATE (w' CV VM-E close focus adaptor), Sigma 12-24 (w' metabones IV-T, EOS mount) and the Sony FE16-35. I'm happy to share some of my tests. I'm mostly interested at what happens at infinity.

- These are for my use. I'm not trying to prove anything.
- I have exactly ONE copy of each lens and adaptor.
- My testing methods are highly flawed.

These are from a tripod mounted A7RII using an Arca Swiss D4 head. Manual focus on the apartments below the water tower. Lightroom default settings. Sharpening 25.1.0 No profiles or corrections.

Nice test Gordon. Surprised at the WATE's vignetting. Could you give us some corner crops ? Sigma seems to do surprisingly well in comparison to two highly rated lenses.

Kevin,

The WATE is known for having some vignetting issues which are easily correctable in post like in LR6.

In the images above, the WATE appears to be wider than the Sony 16mm-35mm FE at 16mm.

I'll try, if I get some time. But you can download the full size file for comparisons.

1 more thing......

Feel free to download the full sized versions and evaluate them as you please.

But please don't load them up online anywhere else. Linking to my Flickr page is cool but reposting without attribution isn't.

Thanks
