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.

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.

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 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...
