Juan: “I run a photography meet-up group in Southern California region and we have a large community of Sony shooters. This interview by Matt Mangham (www.landoflightandshadow.com) for his latest Analog Stories series. I think the Sony community will enjoy! We mix our love of photography with our love for beer and get together bi-weekly at local breweries to discuss camera gear, projects, network and meet like-minded creatives!

Finally, the warm weather is here.
The Sun is shining, the birds are singing, and The Hills are alive with the sound of lawn mowers! I really should get out and enjoy the nice weather. But what to do??  Hmmm….
I know! How about hanging out at ‘Times Square North’

A word of disclaimer – I am not a street photographer.  And I do not… usually… take street portraits (that was the point of the outing that day – to “work on a weakness”)

Zeiss Batis 85mm gets DxOmarked:

Share

Batis85mm

DxOmark posted the full Zeiss Batis 85mm lens results:

While not cheap, the [shoplink 45791 ebay]$1,199 Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8[/shoplink] offers good value for money, considering the solid Zeiss construction, features, and performance. On the A7R, it’s not quite as sharp as the similarly-priced [shoplink 48071 ebay]Sony FE 90mm f/2.8[/shoplink], but sharpness is still very good. What’s more, with improved light transmission thanks to that faster f/1.8 maximum aperture, the Zeiss lens is better suited for low-light event photography, as well as creative portraiture, over the Sony. We can’t wait to pit the Zeiss Batis 85mm and the Sony FE 90mm against the new [shoplink 48072 ebay]Sony 85mm f/1.4GM[/shoplink] just as soon as we get one in the lab.
