This new APS-C range finder styled camera from Sony - a6000 is promoted as a game changer when it comes to AF performance.If anything, Sony E-mount cameras are permanently criticized for few things - lack of native lenses, lack of proper weather sealing, bad interface ergonomics and slow Auto Focus.To delete last critics from the…
I can't say what is harder - finding "Perfect Lens" or finding "Perfect Testing Method". Especially knowing that neither exist.I published many "controlled" tests, mainly using ISO 12333 chart, but those charts and walls usually tells only part of the story.Unfortunately IMHO, most readers are referring to MTF tests and results, in general terms, considering…
Long time after my last post, but here is one short article about two nice "standard" lenses tested in a field on Sony A7. In the left corner - one of the holly grail standard lenses from the film era, holder of L title in the Canon World Lens League, highly sought after among lens…
It took me over 3 months and over 10000 shots with A7 and A7r, to get to the point where I am able to formulate at least partial opinion about those two Sony cameras. Was I lazy? Yes. Where there other reasons why it took me so long? Unfortunately yes... In the last several chapters…
One of the main reasons why I am testing A7 and A7r is to see if those cameras could replace my Nikon D800E, NEX7 and Canon 5D MII for landscape photography.Ultra wide angle lenses are not always what I would use, but in some situation they are priceless and thus most landscape photographers will pack…

Since than, it become worldwide synonym for intelligent or automatized machines (simplified). But Robot cameras were German. And…

Over hollidays, I didn't find time to finish A7 vs NEX 7 comparison, but I will jump on it next week. Meanwhile, I went to shot annual fireworks at 1st of January 2014 in Prague. I thought that sharing my experience and adding few tips and tricks about shooting fireworks with Sony A7r might be…
In the last article I promised to give my opinion about stregths and weaknesses of A7 vs A7r.The problem is, that thinking more about both cameras, I keep finding new positives (and negatives) for each of them. So, it is not that easy.A7r is the camera that will give more in terms of resolution and…
