Using The Sony A7r II – Is It A Great Camera?
As part of my Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 review, I took a stroll down to the Walt Disney Concert Hall to get some test shots.
The truth is, the Japanese Consulate is right there and I had to bring my half-Japanese daughter there to get some paperwork done. I paid for two hours of parking so took the rest of that time to shoot.
This was my first chance to use my Sony A7r II for something other than landscape work. Usually, or I should say, always when I go and just shoot for fun, I take a Fujifilm with me. They're just more fun to use and you can shoot JPEG with them with great results, so post-processing isn't as heavy.
The Ultimate Sony A7r II Video Guide
Shooting video is a complicated task and shooting video on the Sony A7r II is even more complicated. There are so many functions and settings that have to all work in unison in order to get great video, that I've decided to make a dedicated video guide just for the Sony A7r II.
Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 Ultron Review
The Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 is a great lens for those who want something relatively compact, without having to sacrifice amazing image quality. It's not the smallest 35mm lens you can buy, but it's not the biggest either. It's in that sweet spot. And while there are faster lenses out there, the f1.7 is still a great place to be at, especially for a lens this size.
Sony 16-35mm F4 FE T* Lens Review & Sample Photos
I hate that I didn't buy this lens sooner. It's a perfect match for the Sony A7(r)(s) II series of cameras both old and new and I'm absolutely in love with it.
The lens is only F4, but I would like to think a lens like this would be used mostly by landscape or architecture photographers where wider apertures would not really be needed. But for those occasions when you do need the lens in low light and are going handheld, the OSS saves the day.
There are a lot of things I love about this lens, and very few things I don't like, making this lens one of my favorite, go-to lenses with the Sony A7r II.
Tongva Park – Sony A7r II
I've passed through the Tongva park a few times while on my way to shoot the Santa Monica Pier, but never actually shot here. I would always see these lookout structures and thought they might be cool to shoot through.
So a few nights ago, I finally made an attempt to come here but unfortunately, I couldn't find parking because of some event which caused me to miss the sunset. So it is in Los Angeles. You just have to add on an hour anything you want to do around here.
LIM’S Leather Case Review – Sony A7rII / A7II
A half case might be a smart choice if you want to protect your Sony A7r II better. I have leather cases on most of my mirrorless cameras and they are all great. The LIM’S genuine leather half case is also awesome. The LIM’S Leather Cases for the Sony A7rII are well-made. They have many cool colors but I chose the black and red. The case makes the camera heavier but also more sturdy and safe.
Summer Waves – Sony A7rII
Some of the strangest weather I’ve experienced in Southern California this last week. We were driving south on the 405. It was 100 degrees outside, and then 10 minutes later,…
