The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

im not disputing that,just saying to get a similar colour cast etc to a canon on a lanscapy type photo could take some doing,thats assuming one wanted to of course.
 
I understand what people call Canon colours. The jpegs tend to be quite soft and pink, and so the skin tones are mentioned as being best. That kind of goes against the current wedding trend you see these days with quite red skin tones. The JPEG’s aren’t very contrasty which is what I assume the ‘look’ suggests.

Many say they favour the greens, saying that Nikon’s aren’t as nice, but personally I’ve never had an issue with them. It’s all subjective but can be manipulated as you want from a raw file so unless you shoot JPEG’s...

Exactly, depends whether you like canon colour or not. The samples I posted werent tweaked, which do you think were canon?
 
I've no idea ,I said they looked good both and that I've found portraits look good from wat I've seen on Flickr A9,when I shot Sony 1st gen I understand not so good I didn't like the colours and even tweaking in LR I didn't get what to me looked good,I think you've mentioned the latest gen are improved from the first gen so maybe I might get on better with one of those but can't afford one now but will keep an eye on images posted here,however just thought the a6000 in ,Swiss Toni's hands looked good train shots so I guess it's possible eh :D
 
I know it was mentioned, but like 100 pages ago when I wasn't suffering GAS.. so, which battery charger?

You’re always banging this drum and it baffles me.

I’ve seen people switch from Nikon and Canon and their stuff still looks like their stuff.

It’s a bizarre hill to die on.

Ime the a7 MK1 AWB wasn't great (esp in lower light), it tended to lean towards yellow and green, a custom WB which is ridiculously easy and fast to set on Sony cameras fixes that. The R2 was a big improvement in AWB and the MK3 is great (I'm mostly looking at skin tones).

You will love it.

It’s so light weight. It absolutely isn’t as good a lens as the Sigma Art 50 but it’s ideal for what I want it for though.

This is the charger I use

Surprisingly in the top 6 sharpest tested on DXO Mark. 35 & 85 are my core lenses so not scrimping on those two, 50 is just handy and a mid-weight one will be ideal for me having come from the 58G. Hope the rendition is ok.

We spent a day in the Lake District today and I've been editing a couple of shots tonight. Did a few quick visits to various National Trust sites including the Claife Viewing station overlooking Lake Windermere, Beatrix Potter's home (Hill Top) and Wray Castle. All shot on my A7 with Nikon 20/3.5 ais. I didn't have any grad filters with me so the first and third shots have had the shadows pulled back;

Another couple from the Lakes yesterday.

Looking back towards the hills from Beatrix Potters' garden. Samyang 85mm @ F2, focused on the house on the hill;
