Shooting the same model with nearly every Sony lens

Not scientific or technical, but an interesting watch

Ed Gregory over at Photos In Color thought of an interesting concept — what if he shoots the same model with nearly every Sony lens? With over 20 lenses at his disposal, courtesy of Sony, he did just that. As he notes, this isn’t scientific in the slightest, seeing how many of these lenses weren’t intended for portrait photography. Nonetheless, it is an interesting exercise. Also, kudos to Sony to agreeing to do this. They once sent me a four-year-old RX100 V.¹

We photographed 1 model with every SONY LENS and these were the results. See all sample images here — https://pic.rocks/AllSony

I’m not sure how but we got Sony to give us all the Sony photo lenses they could get their hands on. We managed to get everything from super wide angle Sony lenses to the most expensive tele-photo lens they hav. We had Sony fisheye lenses, distagon Sony lenses, Sony macro lenses as well as great Sony lenses for landscapes and Sony lenses for portraits. I’m not sure if we found what the best Sony lenses were but we had fun doing making it. In fact a load of other creators stepped in to shoot with me. We these better than the best canon lens or best Nikon lens. To be honest its hard to say as it kind of depends on what camera body you attach it too. but I was impressed with the lineup.

¹ Haven’t even bothered to edit together my review of it, cause, you know, it’s a four year old product.
