To buy or not to buy? (Sony A7 / A7r)

Kanedias

Did any chings has a chance to try out the 21/3.4 super elmar on the a7/a7r? I think we now generally know both cameras perform reasonably well for 35mm or above, and sort of lacking in terms of wides.

I am quite interested to know how these modern "optimized for digital" leica wide perform on a7/a7r. I think all of us agree these super elmars is spectacular on m9/m9p, so what if they still got 80% to 90% on the Sonys? To me, then it greater increases the appeal for these 2 cameras.

Your friend took some good pictures

Yah. Leica S is a different breed, for a very different us ...

According to my humble understanding, skintone is not a fixed art but varies according to ambient lighting. Moreover, it is open to personal interpretation, subject to (good) taste. For instance, the skintone of Degas's ballarinas is nothing like that in Goya's portraits. Personal style is key.

From what I have seen, all successful skintone produced by CMOS requires artifical lighting, even under sunlight. The simplest setup includes off-camera flash(es). Some setups are incredibly complex. Since I haven't got a clue about flash, sticking to CCD is easier for me. CCD also benefits from artificial lighting, but perhaps for a slightly different reason: ISO not high enough.

In complex ambient lighting situations, artificial lighting helps control skintone and reduce uncertainties.

M9 appears perfect match of 5014a

Thx MYM8 c-hing! This one is not OOC but has gone through some post-processing, more so than my average pic. The key was that the file was still workable (rather than being hopeless whatever I do, as I have experienced with CMOS).

but I heard that DR can not be used on M8/ M9 because the pat pat is too long (correct me if I am wrong),
just want to ask if the same problem happen on Sony A7 / A7r + DR,

諗來諗去，都係Cheap Cheap地訂A7，因為Sony product circle真係太短啦。但係起碼係FF萬能插，食晒我D Konica AR、Minolta AF、K Mount同M42。
不過D M-Mount，都係keep住部肉酸M-E好D。
