The Sony A73/A7R3/A7S3/A9 Thread

If anyone’s interested in what the Smallrig cage looks like with the Peak Design Capture V3 clip added to it:

It’s not as horrendous as I expected it to be. Still, will need to decide whether I keep both or send one of them back.
 
Anyone know how good the sigma 70-200 cannon is with the adaptor on a a7r3?

My technically inempt father in law is switching to sony and doesn't want to buy the sony 70-200.

Cheers

I have not used that particular lens but tried my lovely Sigma 150-600C on my A7Riii using the MC-11 adapter. Between 150-400mm the AF was reasonable, not anywhere as good as it had been natively on my Canon 1DX, but useable. Between 400mm and 600mm it was a crock of poo, just not useable for the purpose such a lens intended.
I returned the adapter to Jessops and with tears in my eyes sold the 150-600.
I suppose my thoughts would be for him to try it out and maybe simply do what I did in the end, give up and return the adapter and bite the bullet and buy the Sony 70-200 which by all accounts is a cracker. I bought the 100-400.
 
I’ve been told the 150-600 works fine with the updated mc-11 firmware? I was going to get one this week to complete my set up as I can’t justify a 100-400

I haven’t heard that but it would be brilliant if it worked, let us know your results if you go ahead.

Ok,

Shame stores don't have a couple of adaptors running so you can check them out

Must be just an issue with the A7r then as it worked flawlessly with my A7iii. I even bought the canon adaptor and canon version of the sigma 150-600. Although it was the sport version of the lens so that may make a difference?
 
Well happy with battery life. I have 7 batteries for the A7Rii and they last around 200 shots each. First battery in the A7Riii and I got 820 shots :)

I've asked 2 people using the A7Riii and they both said the C version is spot on with the latest firmware. I'll keep my eyes peeled for one and try it out. My local store had one in and said I could try it, turned out to be Nikon :(

Sensor res, evf res, rear screen res, higher quality video, hi res pixel shift colour improving thingy. That’s it I think.

In other areas it lags behind. Eg dispute having a larger buffer, with the sensor size being bigger it fills up quicker than the a7iii. Of course you can lower the res on the R.
 
Does the ISO difference matter?

I see A7Riii having a 32000 ISO and the A7iii having a 208000 (expanded) ISO?

Where is currently the best price for the A7Riii?

Cheers :)

You can google or use a price search machine for the best price, surely? Also watch the many youtube vids comparing the A7III vs A7rIII?
