![]() It had to be respected with proper shooting fundamentals, practiced at lower shutter speeds, in order to avoid blurred image captures.īut with the introduction of newer technologies that dealt with mechanical vibrations better, practical use of high resolution cameras have become more conventional. It wasn't one of those cameras one could just toss around during the decisive moment, given a higher probability of camera shake perceptible at high resolution. At the time, the D800 was mostly considered a niche product, since its 36 megapixel sensor made it somewhat of a prima donna to use. ![]() What many may not immediately appreciate is how high resolution photography has evolved since the introduction of the first full frame high resolution camera, the Nikon D800. Because of that, it might be useful to know which camera system offers the best tool for successful image capture at high resolution. I mean, what possible benefit could there ever be in determining which camera system is best optimized for successful image capture at high resolution. Well, there are those who seek high resolution documentation for practical everyday use. In general, it may appear to be somewhat inconsequential to conduct such a decadent comparison. As such, there was never going to be a strictly same sized apples to apples comparison between the three cameras and lens combination. But, it should also be noted that the sensor size of all three cameras are not the same. Also worth noting, the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4G wasn't selected, because it wasn't designed to resolve details at high resolution. This may seem to throw a curve into the mix, since it's no longer leveled comparison anymore. The Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM was selected to match the focal length of the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM. Sony A7R Mark III + Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GMĪll three lenses selected in this comparison are designed to resolve greater detail at high resolution. In my opinion, the best way to put this matter to rest is to conduct a "proper" comparison. So for today's blogpost, I will be comparing the following cameras systems. Whether this assertion is true or not is currently anybody's guess. However, it's difficult to dispute this assertion, seeing how phenomenally capable the Sony A7R Mark III is, strictly as a tool in capturing detail at high resolution when paired with a G Master lens. Admittedly, I may just be biased at the moment, given the novelty of handling a new camera. Having said that, I find Sony better suited to optimize high resolution image capture, compared to either the Nikon or Canon. Both are high resolution full frame cameras and both have accompanying lenses which are optimized to resolve more detail on them. Nikon has the D850 while Canon has the 5DSR. Still, it's not as if Sony has done anything groundbreaking. When the image capture is in tack focus, there is a distinct absence of feathered pixelation along the edge of shapes at high magnification. Personally, it was immensely satisfying to observe this, since it meant I was using the right lens on the high resolution sensor. Clearly the 85mm f/1.4 G Master was designed to resolve details at higher resolution. My oversight became even more apparent, the moment I started to review my image capture on the rear LCD screen. So, you could understand my oversight in passing over this G Master lens in favor of Zeiss made Sony primes that covered the 35mm and 50mm focal length. ![]() That distinction goes to the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM - not exactly my first choice for building a system. And of those six lenses, only one of them is at a focal length and maximum aperture I might occasionally use. ![]() In total, I'm guessing they have six - all of them being G Master lenses. Mind you, it's not as if Sony has a large selection of lenses that can resolve detail at high resolution. However, if one were to have a high resolution camera, like the Sony A7R variant, wouldn't it make sense to also have a lens that can fully resolve detail on that sensor? I mean, if you have a 42 megapixels camera, why get a lens than is only optimized to 24 megapixels? It would seem like such a waste. To be perfectly frank, their ability to resolve detail on the Sony A9 is absolutely lovely - just as on the Sony A7 variant and the Sony A7S variant. This is not to say Sony Zeiss lenses are bad. But apparently, they're not. And because of that, I can no longer look at my Sony Zeiss lenses without regret. How was it possible that native Zeiss lenses made for full frame Sony mirrorless cameras were not optimized for higher resolution sensors? It was truly unthinkable! I just assumed they were. So much was my disappointment, that it drove me over the edge. I was obviously miffed the Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA was not the most appropriate lens to fully demonstrate the Sony A7R Mark III, on my last post. ![]()
