Gabriel: “Just to let you know that I posted a new youtube video in french, giving my thoughts about the A7rII and all my lenses (long term review #2 after 10 months using it), 1.4/85 GM and 2.8/18 Batis included ! https://youtu.be/UfXg9oAomOc. The 1.4/85 is such an incredible lenses, despite the noisy and slow AF issue (apparently just before having 500 shots taken).
The 2.8/18 Batis is also fantastic, even better IQ than the 2/25 Batis IMO.“
