I was worried the had copied the canon shadow banding feature /jk

at first it looked like moire, I'm glad you found the cause before we popped the champaign to celebrate at sony's misfortune.

I am sure people here will find something else to write something uncomplimentary about Sony.

I have a lot of uncomplimentary things to say about the A7R. Hopefully my experience with the 2 will be better. They have allegedly fixed or improved a lot of the things I don't like about using the original.

I once again considered renting a A7R II and a adaspter for my Canon lenses for a upcoming event in the latter part of August. However a 10 day rental was enough to make me ask myself what advantage I'd see. While the camera will be smaller, there will be no flash allowed, and the lenses plus adapter will be bigger resulting in little advantage to pay $400 or more for.

I wanted 10 days to have time before to test out the camera thoroughly and make sure it was going to function. In the end, I decided that my G1X II will make for a smaller camera when I need small, and does a reasonable job in low light.

I'm still interested in the a7R II, but having been bit by the Nikon D800, I'm not going to jump out and get one until I see results from trusted photographers. Renting would be OK, but developing the raw images might be a issue with my existing software, and I'm not going to learn something new.

If all three brands of cameras generated DNG files, would that make it a lesser of an issue for you?

Maybe, although the PP package(s) I use depends on the camera I use, not the file type. Even if I converted to DNG, I assume I'd use differing software solutions since, even if they can all natively read my files, they have differing strengths.
