Z9 sensor readout is 1/270 and z6iii is 1/70. Z9 can get away without a shutter in most cases because of that. Z6iii needs the backup of the mechanical. Z6ii was 1/20 so a big improvement over its predecessor.
I meant to say with mechanical shutter on A1 it doesn't seem to be using the DGO to boost the DR
I always thought the dual gain was where they have a 2nd ‘base’ ISO? If that’s the case then the A1 does.
Not quite, slightly different things
Interesting reading thanks. Strange that they used the A7V as the 'guinea pig' for this tech rather than the A1 II. Obviously they couldn't do it with the A9III as that doesn't have a mechanical shutter.
Nah, it's all fake news.Is there a new camera body coming out?
yeah they seem to use the a7 series as 'guinea pig' for some stuff.
Yeah there's no doubt that overall the A1 II is better than the A7V (as long as you like the new grip) but obviously you pay for it. The A7V has certainly bridged the gap somewhat and I guess for many it'd be difficult to justify the A1 II given the price difference. I'm guessing that fact that the A1 does more calculations per second it will still have better AF than the A7V but with the A7V you're getting 80% of the A1 II for less than half price.
I'm tempted by this lens but what stops me is that I haven't used my Voigtlanders for months. The Sony 40mm f2.5 and the 28mm f2 are all I've used, oh and the GX80 and 14mm f2.5.
Lovely pictures
"This is Voigtländer's best wide-angle lens ever."
I have thought about selling all my Voigtlanders and I suppose I should as things change over the years and I'm just not using them. I'm still tempted by that 28mm f2 Voigtlander though but I'd probably buy a Sony 28mm f2 II if they ever get around to making one.
I’m about as minimal as I think I can go. I’ve barely used my 20-70mm but I haven’t done any city breaks for a while. I do sometimes think of parting with it, but if I do go in city breaks I’ll ish I had it.

I had a bad experience with WEX recently too, the said my lens had fungus even though another camera shop passed it off as pristine. I sold it to a third camera store who accepted it as like new.
That 28mm might match the 50APO nicely then
I sent them 3 lenses - a Yashica zoom which I ended up having back because they said it was hazy. I think I sent them the Voigtlander 21/3.5 E mount.... And I definitely sent them the Voigtlander 40/1.4 Classic in M mount [I wish I kept that now] fully boxed with a boxed hood, adapter, CPL filter in 39mm - a full kit. It kept disappearing from their website, and everytime I emailed about it, it would be back up for sale the next day - someone asked us to hold it for them..... I had peanuts for that lens come the end and I don't know what happened to the hood, adapter or filter.
It’s the first bad experience I’ve had with trade in, they’ve all gone very smoothly in the past

She's a treasure.
But it depends where the holiday is/was - the Wales road trip, I wanted the best options & IQ I could get so it was mainly the A7Riii, 35GM & 70-180/2.8 that done most of the work. I guess if it was a log cabin, Centre Parcs style weekend then the X100f would do - with the Yashica FX3/28mm if it was summer & sunny
So I’ve sent the files off to Bill at photons to photos taken on the A1 with the electronic shutter and as Anand predicted there’s very little difference from those taken with the mechanical shutter in terms of read noise, and therefore dynamic range, to the point he’s said it’s not worth publishing.
Seems I can continue to use ES for landscapes

The G primes do look pretty good tbh - If I didn't do night skies & I wasn't a bit of a shallow DOF whore then I think the G primes would be the route I'd go. I have been using the CV40/1.2E a bit lately when out with the A7Riii but I've not used my Yashica ML primes on digital for many years now.
It would be a nice back to basics set up for a weekend away or something really. The old digital A7, the analogue Yashica FX3 body and I have the ML primes in 28mm, 35mm, 50mm and 135mm - on paper, a fairly well rounded set up
If it was £3k or under I’d have contemplated one IF it had a tilt screen. It’s such a crazy omission that it actually makes me angryHeading towards bargain status
I can't justify it. I can't. I can't. I can't.
I remember when it came out. I told Mrs WW and she asked if I wanted one
Did you have to re do your original settings again manually
You should always load your settings onto an SD card before any update so that you can load them back on if they are deleted during the update
Surely married life means you should go out for photography on your own for some peace and quiet, and use manual focus so you get to spend even longer in the peace and quiet
No, they were all the same but obviously had to programme in things like ratings and delete on both cards. I was updating from the previous version. I think there may be a cut off where you lose settings and it may be when the creator app came in and allowed updates from teh phone
The only update I can remember where you lost your settings was the one with the big menu change and also gave you the feature to update from an SD card rather than plugging into the computer and using the Sony software.
