Once again John Clark has compiled another useful list of Sony lenses to share with us. This time his list is of all the published DXO results sorted by score with the priority being the a7RII. The list can be a little cluttered to read, but it’s clearer than digging through DXO’s side if you’re looking at score/rank/sharpness results and are a fan of DXO.
You can already visit Sony’s Virtual Online Photokina 2016 booth online if you want to get a sneak peak of what’s to come. I can’t wait till they start constructing these booths in Virtual Worlds for the rest of us to visit, maybe next Photokina. Sony also published a PDF of all of their presenters and it is a packed schedule across two stages. I really can’t imagine anyone seeing it all, but that’s kind of the point. I hope Sony manages to pull off some surprises, but ill be watching photorumors closely in the meantime for leaks.
Sony just released firmware 02 for the 50mm f/1.8 SEL50F18F in Japan. I tested the updater on my lens and it works fine on OS X. The update to 02 noticeably improves autofocus performance. You can currently download it from Japan, but it should be available in America soon.
DXOMark went through some of their reviews to determine what the best lenses for the Sony a7RII are at the moment. Their pick for the best standard prime is the Sony FE Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 55mm f/1.8 ZA, best portrait lens Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM, and best land scape Carl Zeiss Batis 25mm f2. I would really like to see where lenses like the popular Zeiss Batis 18mm and the Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA fall.
