Sony A7R mark III A + 16-35mm F/2.8 GM

Sony A7R mark III A + 16-35mm F/2.8 GM

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 measures 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 16-35mm F/2.8 GM 

The Sony FE 16-35mm F/2.8 GM is a fast and flexible wide-angle zoom lens especially for Sony full frame E-mount system cameras, and its zoom range makes it suitable for landscapes, architecture and portraits, among other things. With a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8, this lens offers consistent performance across the entire zoom range and is suitable for low-light work. The optical construction of the 16-35mm F/2.8 GM includes two Extra-Low dispersion lens elements to minimise chromatic aberration, along with two XA elements and three aspherical elements that significantly reduce spherical aberrations and ensure high image quality and very sharp shots. In addition, this lens features a Nano AR coating to prevent ghosting and lens flare for increased contrast and better colour reproduction when working in bright light conditions. This coating also makes dust and grease less likely to adhere. 

The Sony FE 16-35mm F/2.8 GM features an almost perfectly rounded aperture with 11 aperture blades, creating a beautiful and soft bokeh effect. Two Direct Drive SSM AF groups provide fast, quiet and highly accurate autofocus for both shooting and filming. This lens has a dust- and moisture-resistant design allowing you to keep shooting or filming even in adverse weather conditions. It also features focus lock, hood release and with the AF/MF switch you can easily switch between manual and auto focus.
