Although it was one of the wettest weekends in the Blue Mountains, NSW, when visibility was at times measured in metres , we were eventually rewarded for our patience.
Sony A7R, 70-200mm f2.8IS @ 70mm. 26 image panorama
This was shot with the A7 and the FE 35mm. Anyone understand why those weird artifacts are showing at almost all of the lights? I've started to see those in a lot of my long exposure nighttime shots all of a sudden.

Good news: your camera is OK, works like Sony has designed it

When I decided to commit fully to Sony FE-mount (=selling most Canon bodies and switching them to A7 and A7r) it was clear to me that I have few limitations:
- no more urban night photography
- no more night photos, where moon is visible (see Ryan's photo above, even Ryan posted very small size the moon has clearly visible weird blob around it - this is typical to R-model, it has slightly different issues, but I consider it as useless for this kind of situations)
- no more daylight photos, in which sun is in the photo
BTW. Does anyone know point and shoot camera for night photography (serious question as I'm trying to figure out camera for night photography)? Needs to have
- bulb mode
- M-mode
- zoom starting from 28mm or 24mm (equivalent) and good image quality at closed down f/4 in wide end
- quite small noise at ISO 100/base-ISO with long exposures (=takes dark frame after the actual exposure)
Samuli, Why not the Ricoh GR. It does not have a zoom but everything else you wish.
Great image quality and Ricoh is sturdy and has always a nice menu system and you can use it for a lot more situations.

Hmmm, Ricoh GR is good idea. I don't need zoom in point-and-shoot, they usually just happen to come with one.
