Kate, inspired by Foxface, one of the beautiful warriors from the Hunger Games, shot with the Sony A7 and the Nikkor DC 135mm f2. I have been using this camera a lot lately, can’t beat the EVF for critical focus in manual mode, check out my current beauty set up after the break

vertical grip,
quick release L bracket
Peak Design strap and cuff, love them on the A7, note the road tire sleeve, prevents rattle during video takes.

tough call since you already have the Canon 70-200mm lens. When shooting thethered, I love the EVF on the Sony because I see what my client sees.
it all depends on your personal needs and your shooting style, if you have a chance, rent both and try them out.
I don’t have any af issues in the studio, af on the 6D will be faster, however, the sensor on the Sony will be better and if you need to recover shadow detail, it will be much easier on files from the Sony. I left Canon for Nikon and Nikon for Sony
Hello Mike. I’m shoot fashion with a Canon T3i and a Canon 70mm – 200mm lens. I’m trying to decide if I should get the A7 or Canon 6D. Is the A7 a better choice for studio photography? I also have a Profoto light set up. Thanks.
thanks Josh! Definitely, they don’t compare
Great shots Mike! I’ve been loving my A7 as well, such a great upgrade from the NEX-7.
thanks Ron, true, a basic d800 without grip weighs about the same as this set up, however, I really like the EVF when shooting under controlled situations when seeing exactly what you will be getting is more important than speed.
love the lighting and look.
So you prefer this set-up to simply using your D800? Wouldn’t the size and weight be about the same for both set-ups?
