>>3459615>I just linked you to the test that shows Canon's new lens has worse vignetting than the lens it's replacing.It's also as sharp or sharper than a Zeiss Otus.
People using it in the field are also stating that the vignetting is not as bad as in that test. So it would be worth exploring whether or not the vignetting could vary with a particular lighting arrangement.
In any case, the vignetting on one lens...which also happens to be one of the two sharpest 50mm's in existence and one of the fastest 50's in existence, faster and sharper than anything Sony has ever shipped for 50mm...does not in any way prove HURR DURR NO ONE NEEDS A MOUNT WIDER THAN SONI!!!
>>3459659>No, not really. The lagtime in your brain is TEN TIMES longer than the lagtime of the EVF. It's imperceptible, and irrelevant.A good friend recently got a Sony A9 as a gift. (Rich relative.) I've only played with it once so far shooting her dogs and front yard flowers, but she will let me borrow it any time I want and I probably will to get a feel for all the pros/cons. That said...
* I absolutely hated the abrupt color/contrast difference between the EVF and the real world. It made it much more difficult to evaluate the scene, and I found myself pulling my eye away and glancing at what I was about to photograph. That was a huge turnoff. (I've felt the same way about other EVFs I've tried.)
* While the resolution was decent, it still very much felt like you were looking at an old computer monitor. It's feels old school VGA, not 4k retina.
* I didn't have a problem with frame rate or flicker. I have on past EVFs.
* I thought the A9 didn't have any EVF interruption while shooting. And maybe this is due to a setting. But while shooting there's an easily noticed "pause" in the frame rate of the EVF. Perhaps you get used to it over time but I feel the mirror blackout on a fast DSLR is far less visually disruptive.
