DOF = Depth of Field.
You will not get the same even both set to 1.8.
FF lens DOF will be more shallow than the APSC lens = more bokeh effect in FF Lenses

What program do you use to process your files? Some shots that I took, I am actually satisfied with them but then the effects are missing after I import them to the programs I used.

i would like to ask, why the picture i view in mac is nice but when view in window's there is noise show out? will it effect the final print out?

I'm torn between SEL1670Z and SEL18105G for kit lens replacement and longer focal length. The max focal length on the Zeiss one is shorter than Sony's one. Any pro suggestion between these 2?
Or maybe I can take a look at other brands?

hmm..
how to choose between sony 35mm f1.8 vs sigma 30mm f1.4
both pricing almost the same. sony with oss 

You'll be spending more on FF lenses if u go A7ii. So there's still a saving grace if you opt for A6300

Here, lemme correct that for you.

To be fair, APSC is likely to Sony just there to intro people to their FF line. They are not Fuji, who only has an APSC-centric lineup.

Though some of us prefer to remain APSC for various reasons. For me, it's size and cost (travel = high risk = easy to conceal and replace).

That said, people like me isn't really the main target market for Sony (actually, it's the M43's target market... and looking at the new Oly Pen, I'm quite tempted to move over - if not for the body cost). So it's no surprise that Sony doesn't really give a rats ass about the APSC glass lineup. It's just not commercially profitable.

But like ganick5461 said, it's still the cheapest way for a videographer with Sony stuff to go 4k, considering the A7rII and A7sII is well, even more expensive (A7s needs an external recorder so thats out).

The A6300 is the top end APS-C model. It offers:

- world's fastest AF (arguably)
- more AF points than you can shake your fist at
- small form factor (with IBIS it will be bigger and you guys will start complaining)
- 4K video

If you don't want to fork out a fortune for APS-C then jump to Full Frame where the A7 line awaits.

Right now, the A7ii is the entry level. A7 phasing out. Premium models are the A7Rii and A7Sii. Word has it that A7iii is in the pipeline but we don't know how much that will cost when released.

So, for those of you sitting on the fence, either you stay with APS-C or make the jump to FF now.

A mount will still have something as per the rumour site but no dates as of yet and I have a feeling that it will cost another arm and leg when the new model is released. Probably with IBIS and 4K all rolled into one.
Spam one pic taken with the A7ii and Zeiss 50mm

That's the E-mount body with A-mount lens on the LA-EA3 adapter. After the firmware update, the phase detect AF is lightning fast and accurate though it does not cover the whole sensor. The area it does cover is almost like that of the LA-EA4 adapter.

Yeah... that long running piece of vapourware lol. Long rumoured, never released.

Right now, just waiting for the Sig30C to hit so that people can review it. Initial samples look pretty nice, though its no Touit for sure.

It's not an Art lens for a reason after all. A lot of distortion for a "standard" lens really, and contrast is pretty low overall SOOC. Or at least it looks that way with the sample pics floating around.

Still pretty interested though.

DaddyO Makes you wonder if the A6300 is gonna have overheating issues really. I mean, same A6000 body + 4k.

Olympus uses micro four thirds sensors so those are a little smaller compared to the APS-C sensors used in the A6000 series. If you look at the A7 and A7ii, the A7ii gained a little weight after IBIS.

A7ii does not have 4k video. So the IBIS itself does take up some space. Going from FF to FF, with IBIS there is still a need for bigger housing. Remember, the sensor needs to compensate for movements on 5 axis.

Hi, thanks for replying. Still new to photography, do you mind explaining to me what are the advantages of having a constant aperture zoom. Also for the 1670Z, that lens is more versatile, am I right? Cause I am also considering that to replace my current kit lens that came with A6000

Hi, I am newbie here. I need something portable and yet good quality and below RM2k. My recommend Sony A6000. What you guys think?

Hi guys, wanna get some opinions from you sifu. Just got my a6000 slightly over 2 weeks ago. The firmware is version 2.00. However I just realized there's a 3.10 version. Should I update the firmware seeing that I'm only having the 1650 kit and 18105 f4(on delivery). I've watched the guide on youtube, seems to be pretty easy. But never done this before, kinda afraid will brick the camera. Is it worth taking the risk ? 

poison poison !!!

is it a good move, convert DSLR to mirroless ?

Worth selling my Canon 6D and 24-70 f2.8 for Sony a7 and 28 f2?

Mmmm.. Bokeh is bokehlicious... Not sure if it's worth the 1.5k price tag..

Apparently it doesn't do so well for full on landscaping though... or at least that's what the forums are saying. At small apertures the field curvature is *very* noticeable.

It's not an ART after all. That said, if you keep shooting subjects that aren't far away you won't really notice it much though.

As of now, IMHO it's a toss up between the Sig30-1.4 faster speed (and horrid curvature) vs the OSS + better optical characteristics of the SEL35 (which, of course, has it own fair share of issues, i.e. the horrid LoCA and general blurriness wide open).

Also, a few more hundreds gets you a Touit 32 too, which has crap focusing and lumpy bokeh but is awesome everywhere else.

Of course, the best option would be the Dista 35 but it's a monstrosity, both in size and cost lol.

im guessing you mean for a 1.4 autofocus lens.. but its a tossup between this and the rokinon 12mm f2 for me.
