A7R3 With Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8
I’ve
had the new Sony A7R3 for a week and have been impressed with the focus speed
compared to the A7R2. This is not a camera review but I seem to do all right finding
my way around the A7R3 because of my familiarity with the A7R2. I have used the
camera mostly with the Sony FE 100-400mm GM lens with the 1.4X teleconverter. I
have been satisfied with the sharpness but have not had an opportunity to
photograph much wildlife which is why I bought the lens and teleconverter in
the first place. The A7R3 autofocus is faster than the A7R2 but in low light I
don’t find that it can autofocus on distant objects, like the far shore of a
lake, any better than the A7R2. But…It simply is not a low- light lens
especially with the 1.4X teleconverter added.
Today
I wanted to see how sharp, front to back, my photographs would be using my
Zeiss Batis 85mm F1.8 lens. I have found this lens to be very dependable, fast
and sharp. I would add that it seems to me the Batis lens has improved color on
the A7R3 from the A7R2. I’m not sure why the 85mm lens always seemed to have
subdued color compared to the other Zeiss lenses I have used.
The
BIF shots were sharply focused but small since this is really not a wildlife
lens. The day was hazy and the air was bad. The bird shots were cropped. All but one outside photograph was taken at Millerton Lake near my home. It is a half million acre foot reservoir. The Eagles are yet to arrive from their home at Great Slave Lake in Canada. Many overwinter at Millerton Lake.
