Aperture Series @ 16mm: Dana Lake, Wide View (Sony A7R II)
This near-to-far scene was chosen to assess performance at 16mm with the Sony 16-35mm f/4 on the 42-megapixel Sony A7R II for specific reasons:
- It offers a very near (right under the camera) to infinity focus.
- It offers fine detail at distance at left and right sides and in all foreground and far distance areas.
- Lighting is of good directionality for excellent contrast.
Dana Lake, wide view
SteadyShot = off, EFC shutter with 2 sec self timer.
