I shot this view a few years back with a then new Fuji XE1 camera. Its really a spectacular scenic lookout. One of the best I have seen in Australia and its only 40 minutes up the road for me.
Its a 45 minute hike each way from the road and the cliff at the end there is very high, perhaps 100m vertical and another 150 at a slope? You get an idea by looking at the scale of the trees at the bottom and these are 15-20m tall Eucalypts.
The new Sony A7rii (42.24 megapixel backside illuminated camera) taken with some of the best lenses around, the Zeiss Batis 25mm, the Zeiss Loxia 35mm and a Canon 24-70 F4L. The Canon does pretty well, its very sharp but tends to lack the colour and pop of the Zeiss lenses but for a zoom its right up there. One of the advantages of the A7rii is is ability to use its full 399 phase detect autofocus points on both adapted Canon and Nikon lenses giving virtually instant AF with no need to fine tune the AF to the lens as the autofocus points are on the sensor itself not a separate focusing sensor as in a DSLR.
I am trying to take some landscape shots worthy of printing and hanging in my house. When you use that standard its amazing how many shots suddenly are not good enough. The first 2 I think are good enough.
