Beside the crop factor what other considerations are there? In the end it's a decision on wether I buy a fresh set of FE lenses. I am trying to work out the advantages or cons of using Full-frame lenses as against 35mm lenses when shooting video with the A7RII. I'll also probably still keep my 10-18mm f/4 since the weight and size advantage over FE is big and I'm trying to keep my kit light for traveling. For example if Sigma made a smaller and lighter version of their 16-35mm 1.8 APS-C SLR lens. I would love to have that as a good general-purpose zoom instead of whatever big and heavy 24-70 2.8 zoom Sony ends up coming out with for FE mount. if someone manages to come out with a great quality compact fast zoom for APS-C E-mount I might buy one. I am still interested to see what the future brings for APS-C E-mount lenses though. I might even end up replacing my beloved Zeiss 24mm 1.8 APS-C, which is a great lens, for the Zeiss FE 35mm 2.8, which is actually smaller and lighter than the 24mm and has the same focal length and depth of field. Overall after using my APS-C's and my new 55mm FE lens for a while I think I'm going to shift mainly over to full-frame, mainly for the focal length flexibility which is huge.

Here's an example of a guy doing this with the original Sony A7 (although only for 1080p output). I've shot time-lapses on my old A6000 and they can be really great so I'm looking forward to trying this out.

I haven't really noticed the moire in any real-world footage I've shot at full frame yet though.Ħ) APS-C lenses are cheaper, so if budget is an issue you can definitely get a wider lens collection much more cheaply in the APS-C spaceħ) When shooting time-lapses there is a big advantage to shooting full-frame, and that's that you can shoot 42MP stills (RAW, ideally), and then use various software (e.g. This flexibility is huge! 1.5x multiplier on all your focal lengths without any loss in resolution! (for video).ģ) Full frame gives shallower depth of field of course, so a more filmic look if you're after it, as most of us are.Ĥ) Super35 video mode on the A7R2 has more rolling shutter, so if you are using APS-C lenses you are stuck with that.ĥ) Super35 mode has no pixel binning, however, so less moire.

I recently bought the Zeiss 55mm 1.8 FE and really like the fact that when shooting video I can turn it into an 82mm lens with a few menu button clicks (which should really be one click once Sony gives us the ability to map Super35 toggle to any button). For example I have the Sony 10-18mm f/4 wide-angle zoom (which also works on full frame without vignetting starting around 14mm BTW) it's been tested a bunch on full-frame and offers pretty nice quality with a much smaller size and much less weight than the comparable FE lens (Sony 16-35mm f/4).Ģ) FE lenses give you more flexibility for focal lengths.

If you are really interested in stills then obviously you are giving up a ton of resolution on the A7R2's 42MP sensor by going into crop mode.ġ) Some APS-C E-Mount lenses can offer good quality with reduced weight / size compared to FE.

FE mount so far, again assuming your primary use is shooting video. Here's a quick summary of what I've found in shooting with APS-C vs.

I have a bit of experience here as I own an A7R2, I am primarily interested video, and I also own a several APS-C E-mount lenses (and now one FE-mount lens).
