A reader asked if I’d test the in-body image stabilization (IBIS) on the Sony alpha 7II with a shortish lens, to bookend the testing I’ve done previously with a 180mm Apo-Telyt and the Zony 55mm FE. I picked the Leica 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R, which has shown strong sharpness in previous testing. You won’t find the… [Read More]

Tripod-mounted Sony a7II IBIS performance
I’ve read on a photographic forum — maybe I should stop reading those things; they’re making a lot of work for me — that the a7II in-body image stabilization (IBIS, aka SteadyShot) improves image quality even with the camera on a tripod. Since the conventional wisdom is to turn off image stabilization when the camera… [Read More]
a7II IBIS with the 180mm Apo-Telyt-R

The 180 is really quite well suited to the camera. How much does IBIS (known to Sony as SteadyShot) help? I employed a test protocol based… [Read More]

It has the potential to reduce the effects of camera motion somewhat when used with lenses that have optical stabilization, and a lot in… [Read More]
4-shot pixel shift and AA filters
This might turn out to be just one more hopeless “there’s something wrong on the Internet, and I must fix it” posts, but maybe it can rise above that. I’ll do my best. In a DPR forum, there is a thread about 4-shot pixel shifting. Under that protocol, which is available on Bayer color filter… [Read More]
