Sony Alpha 7s II + SIGMA 24-70mm f2.8

Sony A7s II + SIGMA 24-70mm f2.8

There are many features to highlight of this new camera SONY Alpha 7 S II, it is the model as the manufacturer likes to call SONY ILCE-7SM2 and we will point out the highlights of this fantastic mirrorless camera

It is a full-size or Full Frame Exmor CMOS sensor camera with a resolution of 12.2 million pixels, powered by a spectacular BIONZ X type image processor

With an incredible ability to adjust ISO values unimaginable a few years ago, you can naturally choose between 100 to 102,400 ISO, maintaining incredible results in the quality / noise ratio, as well as you can choose, expand these values in a digital way to the spectacular 50-409,600 ISO

It has also been possible to improve the recording of video in 4K quality with full pixel reading and without pixel grouping in such a way that the resulting files are of much higher quality, It is possible to eliminate in a very interesting way the moiré effect and aliasing. You can also generate files in Full HD up to 120 FPS, as well as be able to work with 4:2:0 output.

And of course it is compatible with external recorders, type Atomos Shoghun with these you will get an output of the type 4: 2: 2

As happened in the sisters of the series SONY Alpha 7, this version of the SONY Alpha 7s Mark II incorporates a spectacular 5-axis image stabilizer, which makes it very effective in recordings that you decide to make by pulse, getting balanced and high quality images, especially useful when using tele or cinema type lenses, correcting both horizontal and vertical shakes, being effective the five axes, whatever the lens mounted even with adapters and lenses of other brands

The camera comes equipped with an eye-level monitor of 1.3 Cm. and size with a magnification of 0.78x and is of the OLED XGA type, this viewfinder is composed of 4 lenses of the spherical type, offering 100% of the coverage and adding the data with which you have configured the camera, to have absolute control with an incredible color fidelity; so I ate a large viewfinder screen on the back of the camera of 7.5 CM of the TFT type with more than 1.2 Million point allow you a view of different angles, being foldable up to 107º up as well as 41 down, ideal for the most uncomfortable recording positions

Another of the highlights of this camera SONY A7s II, is its high dynamic range capable of working with profiles such as S-LOG-3, S-Gamut3, S-log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine, having total control of the color of your most professional recordings, all these profiles are paired well under a Cineon-type editing environment, the most used in professional fields If you are more traditional and prefer to use the classic S-Log2 profiles are equally available

Of course the camera still retains the essence of SONY Alpha 7, that is, it is still a very small and portable camera, it also incorporates these equally remarkable functions.

Enhanced Zebra possibility to work with S-Log gamma profiles and aids in monitoring exposure values in high-contrast scenes. And at the other end we would have the possibility of Gamma Display Assist, showing on this occasion a natural contrast when recording in S-Log

You will also have the option to record with time codes, to facilitate your post-production work, with Record Run type variants, and the free travel, these time codes are also taken out through the HDMI

Of course it is a connected camera, through WiFi and NFC, in such a way that you can have the availability of the images immediately to your mobile devices

• Features Lens SIGMA 24-70mm

Positioned as a workhorse lens among SONY's E-mount full-frame mirrorless systems, the SIGMA 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art is a versatile wide-angle zoom at vertical length characterized by its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. The bright design adapts to working in available lighting conditions and also allows greater control over depth of field. The optical design incorporates a number of low-dispersion and aspherical elements that greatly reduce a variety of aberrations in order to achieve high sharpness, greater clarity, and improved color accuracy. Both Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous Coatings have also been applied to improve contrast and color rendering by suppressing lens flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.

Complementing the optical attributes, this lens also features a stepper AF motor, which produces fast, accurate and remarkably quiet autofocus performance. At the wide end of the zoom range, a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9 is suitable for working with close-up subjects and an 11-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasant bokeh quality. In addition, a climate-sealed design benefits working in harsh environmental conditions.

• As part of the Art line within SIGMA's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly remarkable optical performance and is ideal for creative and artistic applications.

• The standard zoom is designed for full-frame SONY E-mount mirrorless cameras, however, it can also be used with APS-C format models where it will provide an equivalent focal length range of 36-105mm.

• The f/2.8 constant maximum aperture is suitable for working in available light conditions and also provides greater control over depth of field when using shallow depth of field techniques.

• Six F's low dispersion (FLD) and two special low dispersion (SLD) elements significantly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringes throughout the zoom range to improve clarity and color accuracy.

• Three aspherical elements control spherical aberrations and distortion to increase sharpness and accurate rendering.

• Both Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous Coatings have been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich, color-neutral images, even under backlight conditions.

• The integrated stepper motor performs fast and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance.

• At the wide-angle end of the zoom range, a minimum focus distance of 7.1" is possible with a maximum magnification of 1:2.9 to suit working with close-up subjects. At the telephoto end, the minimum focusing distance is 1.25' with a maximum magnification of 1:4.5.

• The built-in AF-L button can be programmed to adjust various shooting settings and the lens also features a dedicated AF/MF switch and a zoom lock switch to prevent the barrel from accidentally spreading.

• The rounded diaphragm of 11 blades contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.

• The brass bayonet offers greater mounting accuracy and rigidity and rubber sealing is incorporated into the design of the bracket to make it dust and splash resistant.
