Marc Galer: 2020 – Sony Alpha Imaging Developments – Where to from here?

Share

Marc Galer:

What does the future have in store for Sony Alpha photographers? 2020 marks an important point in Sony’s imaging technology development. Sony has been at the forefront of imaging innovation in the interchangeable lens camera market since 2010 (with this introduction of their SLT and Mirrorless cameras). The camera releases in 2020 will, however, send a strong signal to the industry as to whether they intend to continue to release revolutionary new products or slowly evolve /fine-tune exisiting technologies. In this speculative discussion Mark looks at possible new cameras Sony camera will release in 2020.
The launch of the A7IV (A7M4) and their next APS-C camera will be the cameras that tell us if Sony intend to tread water for a while or continue to shake the imaging market with revolutionary new products.

The lens offers a 2:1 maximum magnification ratio along with a minimum focusing distance of 6.7”(17cm). Different from traditional macro lenses, this 65 mm lens can focus from infinity to 2X magnification, making it an ideal option to tackle all kinds of macro photography scenarios. The wide magnification range is essential for shooting insects and plants at different sizes.

Here are the best lenses to maximise the potential of the Sony A7RIV

Share

Marc Alhadeff made this graph showing the best lenses to achieve maximum sharpness for your Sony A7rIV. Marc is known for making a ton of FE lens reviews and is one of the few that can therefore give you this complete overview!

The very best you can get are:

Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama. Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM at Bhphoto. Adorama. Amazon. Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Zeiss 5omm f/1.4 lens at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto. Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Sigma 105mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Sigma 35mm f/1.2 FE at Adorama, BHphoto, Amazon, Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Sony 400mm GM at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Sony 600mm FE GM in USA at Amazon, BHphoto, Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Voigtlander 65mm f/2.0 FE at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. Amazon DE. Amazon UK.
Voigtlander 110mm f/2.5 FE at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. Amazon DE. Amazon UK.

So technically speaking the best lens I do own is the Sony 85mm f/1.8 FE…maybe it’s time for me to consider to get at least one lens of the top pool :)
