Sony A7rIV gets DxOmarked

DxO published the full Sony A7rIV tests results. The camera  scores about the same as the A7rIII:

Despite the challenges posed by the increase in pixel count, Sony’s latest addition to the high-resolution A7R series, the A7R IV, continues to deliver excellent dynamic range, particularly at low ISOs, while also delivering very good color discrimination and control over noise. While the technological advances are impressive, it’s not quite enough to put the sensor’s performance ahead of rival, lower-pixel-count devices overall. However, the increase in pixel count to 61.2MP, making it the highest currently available in 35mm full-frame format, is certainly compelling. When you combine that with the upgraded AF and other refinements, such as its higher-res EVF, robust build, and improved ergonomics, the Sony A7R IV is one of the most—perhaps the most—capable and versatile high-res 35mm full-frame cameras available.

Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE – Review at Opticallimits: “The resolution is among the best that we have seen in this lens class”

Opticallimits tested the Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE lens and concludes:

To be very honest with you – we didn’t have the highest expectations but the Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE smashed them – mostly. The resolution is among the best that we have seen in this lens class. It’s already sharp at f/1.4 and downright superb from f/2. Lateral CAs are very moderate, less so LoCAs (Bokeh fringing) albeit that’s still rather normal these days. Distortions are next to non-existent when using image auto-correction but just on a medium level in RAW mode. Vignetting is visible at f/1.4 even with auto-correction (much more so in RAW mode) but not much of an issue beyond. The quality of the bokeh is good but not brilliant. This is not limited to the Samyang though – the Sony/Zeiss FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA is actually worse in this respect.
The build quality is impressive but stays just short of professional-grade expectations. Namely, weather-sealing is absent and the finish doesn’t feel premium. That being said the all-metal construction is solid. The AF speed is fast and it’s near-silent. While the focus ring is very smooth to handle, the actual focusing is a bit on the coarse side in manual (by-wire) mode.
Overall Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE represents an outstanding value and it’s awesome to see that Samyang aims to provide this level of quality in a high-speed lens to a broader audience. Just watch out for sample variations.

Samyang really stepped up the game and  their latest FE lenses are a great choice!
