@kingghidorah810613 күн бұрын
it's a great lens, that's for sure. But tamron 150-600 G2 is already an incredibly sharp lens wide open, other than having bad autofocus on LA-EA adapters. The issue with new mirrorless zooms is that they have flat backgrounds because their projected focal point is closer than that on DSLRs. That subtle distance is enough for DSLR lenses to cast brighter subjects in front and dimmer subjects in background, the so called "3d pop" that all mirrorless glass lacks while all DSLR lenses have, due to the inverse square of light.
@GMTNeil13 күн бұрын
I know about 3d pop and I own a fair few vintage lenses. I also have owned a lot of DSL lenses that are extremely flat so just because it’s and older DSL lens does not mean it will get. I used cannon DSL cameras for years and still have some lenses but I feel no need to adapt them to my Sony cameras as it’s not that special. I have some really good lenses that “pop” and will be doing some videos on my Takumar lenses in the future. But for this lense I wanted sharp I wanted good auto focus (birds etc) and I wanted something I could travel with as I spend a lot of time in the Japanese countryside and I love getting the wildlife there. With price performance and weight these ticked all the boxes for me.

@@GMTNeil well the tamron definitely delivers, but some people are not rich gear reviewers that can afford the Sony G Master 100-400, most of us are like you but still in the transition phase. I was really happy with my worn out A77II til the main screen died and realized how dim the viewfinder already become when i tried to adjust the brightness thinking I accidentally made it dark, and there was no difference between the minimum level and the brightest setting. Also had 149K cycles and the faux leather wrap went out. Replacing the skin alone was €121 handwork not included so you do your math and ask yourself if it's worth spending €1000 on refurbishing something just for the sake of comfort. I could hunt an A7IV new for €1900 at a VAT free day in El corte Inglés and I'm very happy it's neither a dud nor a used camera. The journey to transition to 24-70/70-200 and 150/500 begun.

@kingghidorah8106 to be honest I think most of us do not need that level of gear. I would be happy with a 6700 or cannon R10 or R7 but the reason why I chose Sony is for the lenses. Lots of choice and easy to adapt as well. I have never really felt the need to get a G Master lens to be honest, unless I was getting paid for this I don’t really need it. Good luck with your journey!
@kingghidorah810613 күн бұрын
@@GMTNeil I was going for the a6700 but there are two main issues: mechanical shutter is limited to 100K actuations and 1/4000, and the viewfinder is a carbon copy of the A77II I used except that Sony now randomly caps the resolution to half in certain situations, and when using the 120Hz mode it always goes down. So it's a full HD viewfinder turning into an HD viewfinder. The A7IV does this too, but at least I'm assured a 2K viewfinder turning full HD. Also G Master lenses are extremely overpriced, for a product that is now made out of aluminum and plastic instead of magnesium alloys and the severe focus breathing issues across all Sony G and G Master lenses.... not worth.

With the issue of the 75mm being unfocusable: What T-stop were you at once you started noticing these issues? Usually any anamorphic lenses dont open their iris up very wide because of issues like these. As long as they perform well up until T3.0 I'd still consider them incredibly fast for anamorphic lenses.

I went (almost) all-in with the Rokinon V-AF series, buying all the lenses except the 20mm (24, 35, 45, 75, 100) as I knew that wouldn't work with the anamorphic. I've since also purchsed the MF adapter, and the 1.7x Anamorphic as each came out. So I've had the anamorphic for I think a few months now,. But admittedly I was not aware of any issues with the 75 as the anamorphic lives on my 45mm. I'll have to do some tests this weekend and see if mine has the same issue. Hope not, but glad to hear you are working with Samyang to see what is the issue.

Thanks for your review! I’m worried about the 75mm problem! I was planning to get that lense and I will definitely test that out if I can before buying! It’s quite helpful that you are sharing this issues and even got another lense to test it out THANK YOU for all the effort put into your review! I will try to put video test with my lense ( the 24mm V-AF in crop mode) I’m using focus peaking and focus map and for sure it’s quite hard to focus when it’s T 1.9! I’m testing also clear image zoom, 4K maximum quality, HD, slog, S-cinetone and all those things! It does change the image but also depends on the lighting environment. Also I’m planning to get the Dji focus pro and see if at t 1.9 you can get very good focus fingers crossed 🤞
@GMTNeil2 ай бұрын
I think it will just be mine, it’s not the lens as I have tried 2, I am going to keep testing and, it only seems to be focusing at different points like infinity. If you going to use the 75 it is going to be more likely for close focus and that seems to work ok. But I think it’s just the one I have. As for a focusing a monitor with a zoom function helps a lot but sometimes using out and about I try not to use too much equipment especially on my own as it increases the chance of being robbed. It’s fun to use though and the image is lovely, my favourite is on the 45mm.

A lot of it is guess work though and adjusting it in post to what I think is right. I am sure you could measure it but to be honest if it looks good who cares. I am considering a set myself I have the APSC Sirui lenses and am tempted get the full frame version.

Yes it does, it’s not going to be the answer to everything but it does keep the camera running for longer and a lot cooler. I have used it with few cameras (all Sony as I like to match) I have used it with the ZV-1 as per the video but I have used it real world with the A7IV and the ZV-E1 (the full frame camera) and it has helped a lot and resulted in now over heating. But if you want it to run for longer than an hour you will need to plug it it into a USB-C power supply. Overall it’s a quick and easy solution it’s not a fix for everything but as a not too expensive purchase that will keep it running cooler for longer yes it works. Unless you are in a desert working under direct sunlight then no you will need something better.
