Nice rendering from your shots Lucinda. How are you liking your 85GM so far? Does it complement the RX1R?
I love the RX1R II, it is very powerful. The 85mm GM is a incredible lens that inspires me to shoot anything, simply to see how the image comes out, the original Rx1 did this to me also.
I love being dismissed or not noticed with the tiny RX1R II, I take it almost everywhere.
This next shot I will show was my 1st with the 85mm, and its all I had to see, the IQ from the G Master lenses is stunning, Sony, you are on a roll....
I got my 24-70 2.8 G the day before i left for London. I had a free day.. This is from a boat on the Thames
A7RII 65mm f7.1 Uncropped and resized. I ended up taking the 15mm CV, 24-70, and Sony 70-200/4 in my carry on. I used the 24-70 80% of the time. I used 70-200 15% and 15mm CV 5%. There is probably a couple of shots where i should have switched to 15mm but I was so tired and getting lazy. Primarily work trip but always take a little time.
The sun light was very diffused this afternoon making the lighting on the Tufas very special.
BTW: You may see EV+2.0 on the EXIF info. That is correct. I pretty much overexposed 2 stops in order to get very clean shadows in post. (ETTR with zebras)
Well i'll continue then showing of my Kids, Ted and Todd.
So far i have to say that compared to the FE55 it's almost as fast in focusing, haven't done any scientific tests but the feeling would be 75% of the FE55 speed or so. Tracking with Eye Focus works excellently.
The sharpness seems more or less the same compared to the FE55 but it's just smoother and more creamy.. Don't mind the weight or size or sound at all, then i'm also used to luggin around a 5DMKII, and 70-200 2.8.
So far i'm positively surprised in all areas! (except when the credit card bill comes)...
This one was taken at Mono Lake in a cloudless dusk. The lake's waters were a little rough so I exposed it to 4 seconds + the Smooth Reflections app (128 shots). Total exposure was about 8 minutes
I really like this shot. Done several workshops in Monument Valley. Very special place and yes you did not hear me say this and don't repeat it. It does look very much like Medium Format. But hey I only owned 5 digital backs what do I know. ROTFLMAO
