Will you do an a7c setup video in the future like you did for the a7 III? I chose the a7c over the a7 III for video shooting, but still want to do some photography. You mentioned that the a7c has less dials and buttons for photography so as a beginner, a video getting around the limited controls of the a7c but still being able to get full functionality for photography would be really good!

Nice comparison, can't wait to get mine! I have to 2 questions: 1) did your A6400 need an update to use the lens and all it's functions or did the lens need an update? 2) Is there already an optical correction profile available in lightroom? I saw some youtubers report that at 50mm and up there is some barrel distortion happening.

@JakeSloan

3 жыл бұрын

There is no profile yet in Lightroom, The a6400 did not need an update to use just works like a native sony lens on the camera. You can see some of the photos at 55 and 70 there is a slight bit of distortion but it is very slight and will be easy to correct until a profile is available in light room.

Does this work with full frame Sony’s? Like the FE lenses? I’m curious if it is because I don’t wanna get it if it’s going to crop it...

@JakeSloan

it's a crop sensor lens as I said in the video so any full frame camera will have to crop in

One thing I’d like to see in these kinds of comparisons with different focal lengths is to crop the 55 in the Sony in editing to match the 70mm of the Tamron and then say which is sharper. I often crop my photos in editing by a small amount and don’t notice a lot of difference. In this case with the Tamron a little soft at 70 it would be very interesting to know. Same would go for the Sigma 18-50.
