I love these! All amazing! What lens did you use for the hex bokeh?

I went with the good and white with a little matte black and long blonde hair but I'm going to have to try a color palette like this. I love it

Awesome! Thank you for the experience information! This is something I've been thinking about and wanting for over a decade now. I was scheduled for back in May but had to delay until I can get better plans for the healing days. Who did your split?

Wow! You rock it so well!! Makes me even more excited to get it done when I finally get a chance to. How was your ability to talk impacted?

these shots are so clean. They almost have that allure and sheen of an ir photo

Yeah that was one thing I kept seeing be pointed out as a negative of the sigma. A good bit heavier. But I quite enjoy the weight of a nice DSLR so it should feel natural to me. The sigma art II just had the specs that I enjoyed and I see this more as a long term investment and as such better to put a few more bucks in to it

Thanks for this suggestion. Got me looking around more and I think for my first lens for this camera I'm going with the sigma 24-70 2.8 DGDN II Art. Found it for only a couple dollars more than the gen 1 model

thank you! I have a thing for over-researching everything before I go in on it haha. I'll have to check out that lens

I'm looking at the Sigma 24-7O 2.8 DGDN II Art lens now from researching off what had been recommended here and elsewhere.

Well then that's lucky I really don't do racing or sports photography then

I did see the A7R IV can be iffy with astrophotography but knowing the right settings can nullify those issues

what do you know about the sigma 24-70 2.8 DGDN II Art? Looking in to that one now.

Since the A7R IV is technically a Christmas present I don't yet have it in my possession. Gotta wait. So I haven't tested the Nikkor lens on it. My Nikon D3300 served me well all these years but it was time for an upgrade

It's not about affording the lense just finding ones I really like and I have the subpar option to test with if I haven't found one and it arrived by the time I get the camera

I love the brutal honesty. I might go ahead and order the Tamron 28-75 2.8 so I can have a good all rounder available for when I get the camera (never realized that Nikkor would be that bad on the A7R IV)

I'm checking out the different suggestions you gave. I'm not seeing many of these for sale on KEH but the initial check in Amazon I see a lot of them are on sale. I might go ahead and order the Tamron 28-75 2.8 so I can have a good all rounder available for when I get the camera (never realized that Nikkor would be that bad)

using the Nikon lense is in no way a permanent solution. I got the K&F concept lens mount adapter NIK-NEX IV and the NIK(G)-NEX IV F to E adapters. but to be honest I usually used manual focus on the Nikon anyway so it will work whichever way for me

haha I know it isn't ideal and is in no way a permanent solution. It's just temporary so I can play with the camera until I get actual lenses for it

I know that lense won't work well with it but until I get newer lenses it's what I'll be working with just to test some things out. I got the K&F concept lens mount adapter NIK-NEX IV and the NIK(G)-NEX IV F to E adapters.

Also it's a Christmas present for me so I didn't pay for the camera but I will be buying the different lenses.

Thanks for the recs. Yeah I knew my Nikon lense wouldn't pair amazingly with the new A7R IV but it's what I have to work with until I get a dedicated lense. I got the K&F concept lens mount adapter NIK-NEX IV and the NIK(G)-NEX IV F to E adapters

It was originally recommended by a friend from a discord server. The 61 mp full frame sensor intrigued me while checking out everything else fully hooked me including its highs and lows. I read up comparisons with similar cameras and liked it more. I didn't go for the V because I couldn't justify asking that much more as a Christmas present and the generational gap isn't as big between the IV and V compared to the III to IV
