The original Sony A7R was built around the same sensor as the Nikon D800, so when one replaced the other, I thought the step would be easy. The first two replaced my Nikon D800 which was the last Nikon in a long line of DSLRs I’d owned dating back to when I bought my D70s when it first hit the market. I had the A7R first, then the A7S, and now the A7Rii.
In reality it’s probably been about 4-5 years since the original A7 hit the market. The Sony A7Rii is one of 6 cameras that Sony has released in roughly this form factor in the last 4 and a half minutes – or at least that’s how it seems. 4.8 Too small, and too many bucking futtons.3.3 The viewfinder and making a good exposure.As such, I know it fairly well, and me being me, this also means I have quite strong opinions about it! Sony and me It’s possibly even the camera I take most photos with. It is after my main works-camera the work horse of my photography and video company. One way or another – however I try and justify it – the Sony A7Rii has pushed its way into this blog, and really this probably just comes down to the fact that it’s a big part of my photography life. To be fair, they’re also compact and 35mm format too, so in some ways maybe they deserve a place… maybe… … Not to mention the fact that actually, I use them to take most of the gear photos that accompany the posts write on here. It’s also happened because of the previous interest in lens adapting and modification rearing its head through my playing with various compact camera lenses. I decided it couldn’t hurt – so one of the full frame Sony’s seemed like the logical choice.
Prior to getting my M9 I kept getting asked to include a few digital results in reviews. This has all happened for a few reasons really. I posted a few in my Jupiter-3 post, there’s even a picture of one of them in the post about the Yashica lens mod… And this next photo was taken – for fun – with a Sony A7rii.
If you pay close attention you will have noticed that photos taken with these Sony A7 series cameras have recently sneaked their way into posts on 35mmc. In the extremes, the Sony A7Rii is a camera I love to hate and hate to love, and through this relationship with it, it manages to perfectly illustrate the worst of the problems I have with modern digital cameras… So I thought I’d write my sort of Sony A7rii review…Īctually, this isn’t the only reason I wanted to write about it. If you view it as bad, it’s ridiculously bad, yet entirely simultaneously it can be viewed as ridiculously good! I know this for a fact, since I myself have both views depending on the day you ask me. Let me just start by saying, it doesn’t matter which way you look at the Sony A7Rii, it is a ridiculous thing.
