Sony A7 mark III + FE 35mm F/1.8

Sony A7 mark III body

The Sony A7 mark III body is a full frame mirrorless camera that is perfect for professional photographers and videographers. With this camera you benefit from even more speed and an even higher image quality than with the predecessors from the A7 series. The camera has a 24.2 MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor and offers the possibility to shoot videos in 4K resolution. With no fewer than 693 phase-detection points, which cover 93% of the image, and 425 contrast AF points, you benefit from fast and very accurate focusing. The impressive ISO range of 100-51200 (extendable to 50-204800) makes the A7 mark III also excellent to use in situations where you have less light. With the high-quality XGA OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder, you can keep a close eye on your subject and even the smallest details are reproduced lifelike. In addition, you can choose between 'High' or 'Standard' image quality for both the viewfinder and the monitor of the camera.

In addition to taking photos, the Sony A7 mark III body is also extremely suitable for making professional videos. The camera does this in 4K quality across the entire width of the full frame sensor. The new HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) picture profile supports an HDR workflow that allows you to play your images in lifelike quality on HDR-compatible TVs. For more colour gradation you can use the S-Log2 and S-Log3 function. Do you prefer to shoot in Full HD quality? Then you are assured of 120 fps with a maximum of 100 Mbps. Ideal when you want to edit the footage and, for example, want to process slow motion images in your videos.

What makes the Sony A7 mark III so suitable for the professional photographer is, among other things, the double memory card slot. This allows you to shoot for a longer period of time without having to change the memory card in your camera. In addition, the battery has a battery life of up to 710 images per charge. With the extensive 'My Menu' function you can store up to 30 different menu options and call them up when you need them. The ideal way to quickly access your favourite settings and options. The mirrorless camera is also dust- and splash-proof, so you don't have to store the camera immediately in bad weather or if you are in a humid environment.

Sony FE 35mm F/1.8

Fast, precise, silent AF operation and reliable AF tracking make it suitable for recording videos and photos. Thanks to an innovative optical design, this large aperture lens weighs just 280 g and is only 65.6 mm in diameter and 73 mm long. That convenience and mobility come with excellent image quality, making it a great choice for both stills and films.

An aspherical element has been strategically implemented in the advanced design of this lens to suppress optical aberration and achieve high resolution right up to the image edge. Smooth bokeh is available when needed, supported by a 9-blade circular mechanism that contributes to natural-looking highlights. Minimum focus distance of 22 cm and maximum magnification of 0.24x also make this lens useful for close-ups. A conveniently placed focus button not only provides a simple focus hold button, but can also be assigned to various other functions from a menu accessible through the camera body. The lens also has a focus mode switch that allows for direct switching between automatic and manual focus. A dust- and moisture-resistant design ensures maximum reliability in challenging photographic environments. The fast response and high precision of this lens' linear motor AF system provides fast, accurate and quiet autofocus.Excellent AF performance is available not only for stills, but also for films that use 'wobble' for delicate, continuous focus control.
