Originally posted by LeRolls Yes, could be very interesting. I can see going for either one of those depending on weight, size, and price. I like the A7III but miss the extra megapixels if I'm being honest. Might go for the A7R4 when it gets released if the 60 megapixels are true.
I have the 100mm STF and the 135mm Batis so I don't know what I will do. I love the 100mm STF just for the unique look and the 135mm Batis for the size/AFspeed/color/sharpness. I will probably buy the 100mm F/1.4 since I think that complements my 100mm STF. They are very different lenses, but I don't know about the 135mm F/1.8. Which means I'll end up buying both of them.
I love the RAW files of the K-1 and I want more megapixels, but I don't really need them. I shoot at pretty wide apertures and really only stop down to F/5.6 when I have strobes setup and I'm in studio with a back drop. So say 1/3 of my image is filled with my subject and really of that 1/3 only the face and whatever falls into that 8"-10" or so DoF. Let's say 25% of my image is in-focus. Now I'm going to smooth the skin of my model, so I really don't need or want to to capture 60MP of skin blemishes. I want hair and eyes to be sharp, but skin soft. Do I need 60MP to capture bokeh (75% of my image)? I love the big files and awe factor of zooming in 1:1 and seeing detail, but for what I do its just wasted resolution. I was talking to a professional portrait and fashion photographer about switching from Nikon D800 over to M4/3 Olympus and he said the same thing. Why capture a whole lot of detail that you have to smooth away in post. You only need resolution for whats in focus because its wasted on the out of focus areas. If you are shooting architecture or landscapes with everything in focus then you need the megapixels. I'm not trying to capture detail in my out of focus areas, I'm trying to destroy detail and melt it away. You can print a poster with 24MP. I want better DR and better color, but I don't need more than 24MPs... But I really do want it. I want a Fuji GFX-100 when it comes out, but I know its not going to add anything to the quality of my work. My A9s aren't going anywhere for a couple more years.... Unless they really improve DR and color depth on the A9II, but I don't see that happening.
