Sony A7R mark III A + FE 24MM F/1.4 GM

Sony A7R mark III A

The Sony A7R mark III A is made for the professional photographer. After all, the “R” stands for resolution, and with 42.4 megapixels, you have a lot of it. To make this possible, the A7R Mark III A uses a 35mm Exmor R CMOS sensor and the BIONZ X processor. The processor stands for fast image processing, fast autofocus and a shooting speed of 10fps. In addition, the camera also features high ISO sensitivity. By default, it has a maximum ISO of 32000, but it is expandable to 102400.

Eye Autofocus

Sony uses the (Animal) Eye Autofocus. That feature ensures that you always have your subject in sharp focus. In addition, the autofocus uses Fast Hybrid autofocus system. This has no less than 399 phase-detection focus points and 425 counter-detection focus points.

Image stabilisation

The built-in 5-axis image stabilisation ensures stable images without vibrations and shaking.  The 5-axis image stabilisation comes about with the use of Sony's E-mount lenses.

F viewfinder and display

On this camera is an electronic viewfinder with Quad-VGA OLED and colour image. The viewfinder is 1.3cm and has a small magnification of about 0.78x. The difference between the A7R mark III and the new version A7R mark III A is mainly in the display. This is tiltable and about 7.5 cm with 2359,296 pixels. The screen features touchscreen. This is nice for working quickly and effectively. On the viewfinder and screen, you can display various settings to help you take the best photos’s. For instance, you can set a histogram, zebra, graphic display and more.

Filming

With the Sony A7R Mark III A  you can also film and you can do so at 4K30p and at HD. It has an option to film in S-Log3 and S-Log2. This gives a great dynamic range, but also gives you the flexibility to colour grade.

Sony FE 24mm F/1.4 GM (SEL24F14GM)

The Sony FE 24mm F/1.4 G-Master is a light-strong lens with high-quality performance in all conditions. Among other things, this lens is ideal for shooting landscapes, portraits and architecture. With 11 rounded aperture blades, this lens offers a beautiful bokeh. It has a light and compact design and is therefore ideal to take with you on the go. The lightweight design has been achieved thanks to a new DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM). This additionally provides three times as much thrust, offering fast response time and precise, quiet focus when shooting both stills and video. With a minimum focusing distance of 24cm, this lens is also suitable for close-ups with a soft bokeh. 

The optical design offers very high resolution. The Sony FE 24mm F/1.4 GM has 13 lens elements in 10 groups, including two XA elements and three ED elements. The XA elements prevent flare and the nanocoating reduces glare and reflection. Thanks to the aperture ring, the aperture can be set instantly and easily. The focus ring can be accurately set manually thanks to Linear Response MF.
