p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Finally made the switch from Nikon...


Seems odd to have very little Nikon gear left. I kept a D750 and a few 1.8 lenses for next season in case I need to go back to my comfort zone during a wedding or some session. But, I have used the A7RII for a few paid gigs and I am blown away. The handling is excellent. The AF is great. Files are beautiful and the Zeiss glass is so damn good it is silly. The 85mm Batis is better than my old Nikon 1.4. Better pop and contrast for sure. Anyway I am thrilled. I still need to add another Sony flash. The D750 feels like a toy now! I never thought I would switch, but this is the future.

I love the way the Batis 85 looks with the hood.

Hope you enjoy the switch!

Count me in the camp that finds the A7rII handling excellent. I'm a former Canon 5D2/Fuji X shooter. It took a while to understand and get used to it-- but in whole it surpasses anything I've used before.

Curious what kind of LED you've got there and how you're using it. I'm thinking of jumping Sony and wanted to revamp my lightning setup a bit so I'm exploring a few options right now.

Thanks,
Alan

Thanks Alan. That is a simple video light. I use Profoto for off-camera flash. That video light is great for both video and shots of rings, cake, etc. Got it on Amazon for like $40.
