All A7rII + Batis 85
Robert, the last shot in this post is amazing! i love! Great isolation
Thanks guys .. really appreciated
But I feel exactly the same when I see your pictures
Fred: your landscapes shots is always top notch !

Ronny - every time I see your shots I'm simultaneously awed, impressed, inspired and jealous.
+1 on this. I've been wanting to go on a trip to Iceland for several years with this beach in the forefront of my mind for photography. You've been doing a great job!

Getting really tired of A7's sensor reflections and plan to upgrade some time this year. I intended to save up for the A7RII, but since the Norwegian currency has dropped like a rock because of the oil prices maybe I'll have to settle for A7II.
Helena, as I recall the A7/II reflections are worse than the A7r/II (even if they're better than the A7s)

EDIT : Just realized you probably are using an A7 (you wrote A7's not A7s). So you're familiar with the difference in reflection between the A7 and the R models. If you can deal with the shutter shock and noise the cost of used A7r bodies is coming down (a lot). How about adding one to use for night scenes and backup for your A7?

Thank you for the response.
F12, Vivitar converter Sigma lens, ISO 400, uncropped.
Otherwise without the Vivitar adapter Sigma 70-300 is sharp on my Sony A7
ISO 400 is good (very high ISO tends to lose resolution due to noise). F12 is reasonable. I think you've hit it on the head though. If the Sigma with no converters is sharp, but not so much with it added in line, then you've got one of the main culprits. You could try better ones if they are available.
I forgot to mention atmospheric distortion. Depending on the conditions this could have an affect, and I don't know a way to separate it from the quality loss (at infinity) of adding the converters. Perhaps others with more experience with super tele's could help.

Thank you for the advice! An internet friend who has used all models except the A7R says that the A7II has much less sensor reflections than the original A7. Can anyone else confirm? I thought about A7R, especially since I prefer the weight/size of the older models, but if I am going to get another camera I'd like one that I can use for a few years to come. Also, because of our shorts days in winter I'm almost always at 1/60 between October and March even in broad daylight, which is often a bit too slow for a 50mm lens, so I'd love to have IBIS. My friend now uses the A7RII and says that beside the higher resolution it doesn't offer much over the A7II for my type of photography.
But yes, the A7R is still in the game, especially since it's getting quite cheap.
Photo taken October 19, 2015 about 22 minutes after sunrise, Big Meadows, Shenandoah NP, Virginia. Image copped and taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M 90mm f2.5 Summarit lens, ISO 100, lens set to f11 for 1/100 second. Exposure corrected by + 0.48 stops and Processed in LR6.
I never owned the original A7, but I've had the A7 II for the past 8 months, and I can't say I've ever noticed any sensor reflections, and I shoot quite a lot at night. In any case, I like the body of the II series a lot more due to the better grip and better ergonomics. Heavier, though. (Also really like the IBIS).

Helena,
I did find a couple of quotes in one of our early thread on the A7II and you're right. I misremembered, or mixed it with corner blurring with WA RF lenses which is no better .. sorry!
