I’ve always preached that the magic of photography lies with the photographer, not the gear. Recently, a DPC student who wanted to give back blessed me with a bounty of Sony equipment, including some legendary Batis Sonnar lenses. This was one of the biggest miracles I’ve experienced, especially as my trusty Canon EOS R began showing its…Read More

I recently switched to the Sony A7R V, and this review by Dustin Abbott sums up why I am madly in love with this camera. It is by far the most mature and well-rounded stills camera I’ve had the opportunity to shoot with. (There are better cameras for video)

Love the article, and refresher on the nifty-fifty, Danie. The Canon EF 50mm was also my first extra lens upon your recommendation, and I haven’t regretted the purchase for one day. Thanks!

Thanks Danie. On the back of this article, I decided to get both the 35 and 50mm F2 fuji lenses and used them at an informal evening work function which I volunteered to take photos of. I ended up using both, the 50 in the afternoon and then just stuck with the 35 for the rest of the evening and was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out, especially in the low light conditions. I still have a lot to learn, but I enjoyed the experience and it open my eyes and mind to the benefits of sticking to a single focal length.

Thanks for the information, Danie! As always, it’s very insightful and helpful. Now I understand why I couldn’t get the camera to shoot at 40fps or achieve the promised 4k resolution. I’ll start saving for the new card. 🙂
