The Sony A73/A7R3/A7S3/A9 Thread

[aoaaron]

It does feel small and it is not balanced with an adapted L glass in front. It feels like I am shooting a 70-200 on a DSLR kind of scale. That may change as I use it more, I don't know. The acid test is how it handles when I am under pressure, how quickly I can get to things, or do I just give up and pick up my 5D4 again.

I am going to shoot this with my 5D4, as my 3rd camera, not my main.

The eye AF looks AMAZING for portraits. almost being able to shoot blind.

Have they sorted the menu system out for the a7iii? I want one so badly, but i have to keep my a6500 for my sigma lenses.

Coming from Canon (and Fuji), the Sony menu needs a redesign. So many pages and scattered everywhere, like the "record to both cards" is about 30 pages apart from "shoot Raw or Jpeg". They could just put it under 1 page - Record to 1 or both cards, Raw or Jpeg etc.

First real use, 3 things

1 - no LR RAW support so that is a pain
2 - AF is amazing, even with adapted Sigma glass
3 - colour is on the magenta/red side.

I can't see this advertised anywhere on their site, but when you add the A7iii and the Sigma MC-11 to the basket on WEX they give you the adapter for £99.50 and a 3 year warranty upgrade.

Tempting!!

I think that was the offer for pre-order? Same offer I got at the Photography show last week.

I can see myself having 2 of these before long, selling one 5D4 to fund it….the real test is when I get to edit it's RAW and shoot a proper wedding with it.

ahh, you're probably right. I hadn't seen it advertised anywhere but I guess I also haven't looked that hard!

The official release date is April 10th, I guess the offer will last until then.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to order the A7 iii. Can anyone recommend a good 35mm/50mm lens?

Didn't Jared polin say something about this and I'm sure he edited the files in light room,have a look at his video about the Sony.

 

[The_Abyss]

I thought he converted them to DNG and then ran them through LR?

 

[Schizo]

He could well have done,I had the video on but wasn't taking that much attention.

You can only use the Sony software at the moment but i think most people just looking at the Jpegs.

 

[sHo0sH]

I've bitten the bullet. Can't wait for this thing to arrive.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Awesome

I don't have any native Sony lenses to test so I can't tell you, but general consensus is that video with adaptor is pants.

Iv seen eye af working on photos with Canon lenses on youtube no problems but wondered if it was video also....the metabones adapter is what they used
