>>4282639Confirmed. It works fucking fine but you need to pay attention to the lenses you use. Sony improved their weather sealing with the a7c and a7riv.
A7c working fine in rain with a sony lens (24mm f2.8 G compact)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Fefjrpawga7rv gets rained on really badly with a weather sealed sigma lens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm9cZe3j1BIRain droplets block the eye sensors a few times but at the end of the day the camera keeps going, and sigma lenses are not known for build quality.
This guy is using an a7iv with a lens that is not weather sealed, and it broke after a splash (pseudo-immersion beyond what any IP rating tests for)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Jry3rQDjcThe fe 85mm f1.8, like the fe 50 and 35mm f1.8, does not have a gasket at the mount. Sony marketing material does not differentiate between fully sealed and non-sealed lenses, you have to research it yourself. The camera is weather sealed, but if the lens is not fully sealed, water will enter the camera anyways. Just ask the guy who almost bricked his nikon Z body with a plastic mount 40mm f2 in light rain. Nikon also calls that lens dust and drip resistant. Lolllll. All manufacturers make both kinds of lenses. Now, you might understand why /p/ laughs about canon omitting weather seals from non-L glass so often. Or, you will, if you look at the canon lens catalog and what is not L (anything compact or reasonable) and what is L (huge zooms and superfast primes)
All of the "sony die in rain" posting is one cannot shill who has brutal buyers remorse after splurging on an r3.
>SONY HAD BAD WEATHER SEALING ON LE A7IIIAccording to one petapixel or whatever jerkoff test where they subjected it to simulated hurricane rains, and there are lots of people who said theirs did fine in real life weather. Personally despite having a 5dsr and a z8 I don't let cameras or myself get rained on because its fucking retarded.
