The above is the test results of my camera and lens combination. It is the best resolution that I can get but it is disappointing but not unexpected. Dxomark tests had shown similar results using similar lenses and sensor combinations.

I used the excellent

It is autofocus but slow since it has to do some hunting unlike my kit zoom lens.
 
The conclusion is that the pancake 16mm-50mm lens that comes with the A5100 is just as good as a prime lens unless we want a faster lens at F1.8. That is why I bought prime lenses. All of them must have  maximum apertures of better than F2.8, or focal lengths wider or narrower than the 16mm - 50mm.

the best review of Sony A7r II

Review: The a7R II is the Best Camera Sony Has Ever Made Home » EDITORIAL » Review: The a7R II is the Best Camera Sony Has Ever Made Posted By Jaron Schneider on Aug 18, 2015 | 16 Comments It’s been a long, interesting, often frustrating and ultimately an incredibly rewarding journey watching Sony go from fledgling camera maker to likely the most feared manufacturer today. They have come a really long way, and what at first seemed like strange decisions have culminated now into an incredibly well-conceived long term plan. As disappointed as I was in the Sony a7R, the a7S gave me hope that there was much to love about their future. Now, the Sony a7R II is that future, and it’s a brilliant camera that, though not without its flaws, is easily the best overall camera Sony has ever produ   The Sony a7R II is built extremely well, and feels great in hand. If you have held the a7 II, you already know what I mean. The grip isn’t the absolute best on the market...

Kelda vs Samyang 8mm f3.5 fisheye lenses

Review, Tested: Kelda 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Nikon Posted on March 12, 2015 by lui_gough Fisheye lenses are pretty special when it comes to lenses. Their extreme distortion effect serves to be a novelty, which is sometimes overused , and can prove to be a handy feature to squeeze in extreme fields of view, or to ease 360-degree panorama photo-taking. The number of fisheye options for DSLRs have generally be limited, and it was hard for many to justify spending real money on a real fisheye lens. In terms of options, the one I like most is the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye (~AU$380), available under a range of different rebadge names such as Bower, Pro-Optic, Rokinon, Opteka, Vivitar, Falcon, Polar, Walimex and Bell and Howwell. In fact, I liked it so much that I owned one for Canon and one for Nikon! The other that’s widely known is a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye (~AU$260), which is more suited for full-frame users, and isn’t as nice when it comes to flare handling. T...

Removing baffle from LA-EA1: from dpreview forum

Removing baffle from LA-EA1 Dec 4, 2013   http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56000117   I believe that most of you know that inner baffle can be removed from LA-EA1 adapter. By doing so, I made few test shots to see, if it indeed cover FF format. (Sorry for the low image quality, I have only iPad and did transfer those small jpegs via wifi) 1. A7r with LA-EA1 and Minolta 35/1.4 AF at f/5.6 View: original size 2. A7r with LA-EA1 with baffle removed and Minolta 35/1.4 AF at f/5.6 View: original size As you can see, it is almost good but there is a bit of remaining vignetting in the extreme corners. To confirm that it is not lens issue,  i made another shot with LA-EA4 A7r with LA-EA4 a...
