I then use the Exposure control in Lightroom (Lr) to push the “underexposed” images by the amount that they were “underexposed”. I… [Read More]

We’ve seen in previous posts that the Sony a7RII does wonders for the color casts that beset the a7R when used with short, pseudo-symmetric rangefinder lenses. Since the sensor stack is still the same thickness, I don’t expect any improvement in corner smear, but it’s certainly worth testing. I attached a Leica 24mm f/3.8 Elmar-M… [Read More]

Since the sensor stack is still the same thickness, I don’t expect any improvement in corner smear, but it’s certainly worth testing. I attached a Leica 18mm… [Read More]

In this test, the Leica 24mm f/3.4 Elmar-M ASPH proved to be one of the most difficult lens on the Sony a7R from the point of view of color casts, although the corner smear was not similarly bad. I don’t expect the a7RII, with its Sony-regulation sensor stack, to be any better with corner smear… [Read More]

It has also proven to be among the worst lenses on a7x cameras for corner smear. While I don’t expect the a7RII, with its Sony-regulation sensor… [Read More]
