Marc Alhadeff shared a ton of images on his Flickr account.

Our SonyA7III Facebook member Kenneth posted a set of image samples (you can only see them if you join the group sorry). He writes:

I find the AF very good on both stills and video. Stills AF are expandable point and video AF is wide. I feel this will be another killer lens from Tamron! Cant wait to add it to my arsenal while traveling the world shooting rockstars. I will do a deeper video review when I get my copy of a finished product (this is not).

CameraLabs published the Sony 20mm f/1.8 FE review:

“The Sony FE 20mm f1.8 G is an ultra-wide prime lens designed for Alpha mirrorless cameras and corrected for full-frame sensors. It delivers an ultra wide field-of-view that captures comfortably more than a 24mm, making it ideal for expansive landscapes, tight interiors, wide astro photography, as well as vlogging or environmental portraiture. It has a decent feature set including a de-clickable aperture ring and multi-purpose focus hold button plus its optical performance even surpasses the very good Sony FE 24mm f1.4 GM. This deserves a Highly Recommended!“

Thanks SansM. :)

The conclusion is that this lens is incredibly good value against the Sony GM lens. The only lens that can compete in terms of value-quality balance is the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 which is a lighter lens but not as wide as the Sigma.

Last week Dpreview TV claimed the A7III had pretty bad preamps. But Gerald Undone thinks otherwise and posted this video!

Dpreview answered to Gerald Undones video and posted this update:

Krolop&Gerst jus posted the worlds first ENGLISH review of the new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens. It really looks like this lens can compete with the Sony 70-200mm GM for half the price!

Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlpha.Blog tested the new Tokina 85mm f/1.8 FE lens. he had previously tested the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 FE and can confirm it appears to be exactly the same lens:

As a copy of the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 PFU RMBH STM , it gives basically same results but at a much higher price

So unless you prefer the different look of the Tokina I would suggets you save some bucks and get the Viltrox instead:

Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 FE at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, Amazon DE.

Well let’s get straight to th best news: The Sony A7III was the worse performing camera of the bunch because of “the amount of noise is unbelievable, it’s last in all categories and might not even be fixable in post”

The list of camera from best to worse:

1. Canon 1DX MK III
2. Nikon Z6 and Panasonic S1H
3. Fujifilm X-T3
4. Olympus EM1 MKIII
5. Sony A7III

Let’s hope the future Sony A7IV will be dramatically improved on the audio front too!
