Sony A7R II
Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM

Examples: Portrait Model (A7R II)

Examples shot ad-hoc handheld at ISO 1600.

This model was really superb, highly skilled. I haven’t been so lucky to get so many nice images in under 2 minutes with any prior model and that’s in spite of 20 or so photographers all shooting there.

All examples at f/2.8 (the Sony A7R II eroneously records f/2.8 and f/4 as f/5.6 in the EXIF).
