Interesting... I'm still not sold on the focal distance, I have the 35mm f2.8 that I like very much and the 28mm doesn't seem wide enough (BTW, it is 28mm before or after the correction applied?) As I told you before, I was looking at the Batis 25mm, but it is quite big. The new Zeiss 21mm (I saw it at Photo Plus Expo here in NYC few weeks ago) is compact and I think fits better in my bag (...) I'm not rushing for a wide prime, I have the 16-35 f4 that I like very much so I can wait for Sony's next (wide) move.David Kilpatrick wrote:Pako - the 28mm f/2 has lots of distortion for a fixed focal length, but it's not as extreme as the correction applied to for example the 24-240mm or the little 16-50mm for APS-C. I find it one of the best lenses I've got and it compares well with what I was out using today - Tamron 35mm f/1.8 and 45mm f/1.8 primes.
BTW, you mention the Rokinon 24mm TS... the one I tried was quite soft, but I tried it at the store, not outdoors with nice light and at f11 or f16... Yours is OK? You found a way to get the best of it?
Coming from the film era, I've been very conservative about shooting high ISO... until I got the A7S. Then, I started shooting high ISO on the A7R and I have to admit that I use now ISO 1600 if needed, no fear. I don't have the NEX7 anymore, it was such a camera, as a concept, but yes, a little noisy, had issues with UWA (including Sony 10-18 f4) and, on top of that, Lightroom never really deliver the best of that camera... thanks Sony for free Capture One!David Kilpatrick wrote: One point I guess I do not make in the review is how much I shoot at ISO 800 - even sunny day stuff. It's as good as a NEX-7 at 100!

I don't think I'll go for the A7RII, I'm fine now, camera wise, I think I'll skip this generation. There is a project with a friend, for doing video content for a food and travel website. If that really works, I'll probably go for a second A7S, or selling mine and buy 2 A7SII. Or better: invest on a RX100IV and a RX10II (for the interviews).
