Guy MW:Here is a link to a music video I shot last weekend on my A7sii for Eco-Protest band Farmageddon here in the UK. Lenses used were a set of PL mount Zeiss Super Speed lenses. The shoot was pretty complex in terms of setups and schedule. Although I love the camera, its a bit fiddly for a shoot like this where there are a lot of distractions; easy to mis-dial a setting and not notice the mistake. Video was shot in Slog 3, exposed 2 x stops over. https://youtu.be/wqDL8RZ-Ud0
