Please share your images made with the Olympus FL-LM1, 2 or 3 flash either as main light or Fill-in. I use my FL-LM3 for quick and improv macro shots mainly. I keep it in a fabric pouch sized and shaped flash diffuser and because it's so small and light I take it often with me in most of my...

I need some advice. For the purposes of photographing old books/documents of size 58cm x 48cm and 83cm x 58cm, I need to choose one of these two lenses that I would use on the Sony A7 IV: 1. Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art 2. Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN Art I can only choose between those two lenses...

I was making my usual trip around the web when I stopped in at Sony Alpha Rumors. The first story is about preorders being open for Sigma's 50/1.2. There's a Dustin Abbot video review of the lens, except... When I clicked the link to go to comments, the video wasn't Dustin...it was actually a...

I only briefly got to play with this the other week, along with the new 200-800. I expect to have both on a short term loan to me probably in the next 1-2 months. This one I played with at the camera store while my friend from Canon was working an event there. With lens corrections turned on...

I guess it was only a matter of time. I knew MPB had stopped a while back, but just learned that KEH and Used Photo Pro have both stopped as well. What will this mean for prices on eBay and other used sites? Up? Down? No change? How long before Sony drops the LA-EA adapters series altogether...

I recently made the decision to pick up this new lens, for what I do, traveling by truck, offroad, into the wilderness, it's a great lens for wildlife. Figured I would share a few of my first phots with this lens and see what others are capturing with this long range beast. All of these were...

My third and latest lens bought in February 2023. I bought for street photography at night. These pictures from December 8. My first prime and my first fisheye so maybe forgive my lack of experience. See the EXIF on Flickr if they do not appear here. I usually set to Manual mode, f/2.5, 1/8 sec...

Just love this combo! ;)

I've been trying to figure out how to fix upload speed on my computer for some time. I've done all the search and destroy/malware/disk cleaners, but there seems to be so much junk running in the background that uploading image files is only getting to about 47MBps after the cache fills...

Surprised I didn’t already start a thread for this one. Possible the best lens I’ve ever shot with, although I don’t own it due to its niche use case for me. Here’s a couple to start, and I’ll try and backfill with more from the archives at some point.

So rather than bog down the GAS thread, I thought I'd post here my thoughts on it thus far. The Sony A9 is my first modern full frame camera that I've bought having used the Sony A7S briefly (for MF lenses only) and the Canon 5D Classic. Main reason I bought the A9 was for its AF and continuous...

So the siren call of this lens brings me back..it is my favourite lens of all time and pleases me every time i use it...whats your favourite lens? Mine is the Panasonic P20 F1.7 What is your Magic lens...Any system? Please tell us and post your favourite image...Any Subject! Sorry about...

At their site. I had decided to stay with SD cards for the A1, I really don't need the added speed from the Express cards. The Kingston Canvas React Plus 256G has been selling for $190. Went to get one and they jumped to $220 overnight. Got pissed and started looking at other options. Pergear...

Does anyone know of any other Sony lenses that are radioactive.? I have never heard of a Sony lens that has thorium elements like this one.

I have had the Sony A7 for a bit longer than a week, but only had a couple of old manual lenses to try on it, and frankly the results were not great. I traded in my remaining Fuji kit and picked up three lenses plus a converter and they all turned up this afternoon - luckily on my afternoon off...

Amazon, B&H, and Adorama for sure. Maybe others.

Looking to add an on camera flash plus wireless trigger for my Sony A7. I am already full in with Godox so want either a TT685 or TT350 plus X Pro trigger. Looking on Amazon, all the listings say A7R but not A7 (later A7 versions are shown as compatible). Is there an issue with flash...

It's been so cold and windy here I've been holed up trying to stay warm. Finally decided to suck it up and try to get to know my new A1. I headed out to nearby Sterling State Park on Lake Erie hoping to find something worth shooting. Sometimes if the wind comes strong from the east the ice will...

I have been a long term Fuji user for almost a decade but this week I picked up a cheap Sony A7, with a view to borrowing a Canon 24mm T/S lens on it. Research suggested that the Sigma MC-11 would be a good convertor to use it with (due to good interior anti-reflective material) so I grabbed...

Just getting to know my A7CR. Currently, I have the center point as a registered AF area. I like having an option to quickly get the point back in the center. What I don't like is that I can't then change the focus area, it keeps giving me a message saying "invalid while recalling...."...

Holding this spot for some future images.

:p

Picked up off eBay for a little bit of nothing! Thoughts... It feels well build. The plastic is there, but pretty solid except for some movement around the battery and card doors. It's a good size, not too big, or too small, great grip on it. Not a huge fan of where the rear command dial is...

I have no chimney for Santa to drop down so I treated myself to a new lens. A tad over £500 got me the Panny-Leica 42.5 f/1.2. I thought it a decent price as it was immaculate and 1/2 the brand new cost. Not had too many chances yet to get out and about to do some damage with it, but I am...

More to come!

I'm really liking this lens. The focal range is less wide but a little longer. Not remarkable on it's own but add it's size, price, performance and it's a winner in my book. The first samples are from American Honda Motor's Cars, Bikes and Coffee Event this morning in Torrance, CA. Oh and I did...

Officially the best zoom lens I’ve ever used or owned. Hell, it’s better than most primes.

Haven’t used this one much, but not for lack of liking it. I just like some others more! I’ll make a point to put more in here, but for now-

This kind of thing really grinds my gizzard. It's going to become normal across brands. I was going to get an A1 in the next month or so, now I think I'll hold off. Sony Electronics Announces Custom Gridline License Available for Alpha Camera Bodies for $149!!! – sonyalpharumors

Right now, US buyers can get a Sony A7R IIIa and A Tamron 28-200 for $2700. That's a heck of an entry into FF for under $3k, with what is one of the best sensors Sony ever made. Want cheaper yet? Sony A7III and 28-70 kit lens for $1700. Still not cheap enough? Sony A7II and 28-70 for $998. Crazy.

焦点工房 on Reels | 焦点工房 · Original audio This Monster LA-FE2 adapter looks super interesting! You can now get AF with older screw drive Nikon lenses. This would be perfect for some of those older Nikon screw drive prime lenses! Now Nikon has no excuse to make their own version!

Can anyone tell me how to disable the movie button on the RX100. I haven't been able to find anything in the menus. Thanks.

This is a pretty decent video, kind of long at almost 1/2 hour but some very interesting results, including the A7R V in crop mode compared to the others. I'm not familiar with this reviewer but then I don't watch many of them, maybe some of you know who he is. The A7S III is kind of irrelevant...

I am new to Cameraderie, having used Canon dSLRs (60D in 2011 and 5DIII in 2013) I recently moved to Canon Mirorless with the Canon R6 MarkII. I will be posting some photos and invite other R6/R6II users to showcase their photos too! From a recent Rhine cruise (end May/early June): Klopp...

In town (London) for the pro Palestine protest to see what I could get out of it using this camera/lens combo. Pleased with the outcome. I just take pictures, so I make no comment of the politics other than to say "There are people and there is politics". Unfortunately, the ones who get hurt...

More nightclub shots from Electrowerkz in Islington North London. The first 4 are real people but backgrounds and a couple of bits (like the web) were added in PS Generative Fill. It's quite good fun....addictive actually! Nice bunch of people there. 3 floors of boom boom boom music and...

First one says something big November 8: https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/hot-sony-will-announce-something-big-around-november-8th/ Second one says Sony has registered 2 pro level cameras in China. Timing based on previous releases is on track for the A9III...

Which is probably not news given my propensity for cheap and that I only use primes when needed. My selection consists of a Samyang 24/1.8 and 35/1.4, Minolta 50/1.7 and 85/1.4 A-mounts, and a Rokinon 135/1.8. Sonys supposedly focus faster, and the crippling of 3rd party lenses to 15FPS is...

Is this the flare problem I've read about with Sony cameras and 'wide' angle lenses? Thing is, it happened when using my 50mm too, not just the 35mm, but to a lessor extent.

I'm trying to replicate a label shot for a box for my latest train locomotive acquisition. I'm working on getting the 'shot' portion of the label. Here is a really bad photo crop of what I'm trying to make for my box which is missing the flap that would have the label on it from the factory...

Surprised no one has posted about the new A7C cameras yet.

First few shots, taken with my E-M5 mk II. All shot at f2.8 or f4 and SOOC jpegs.

Edited for a clearer description. Now that the Tamron lets me pan without changing cameras/lenses, I wanted a way to quickly switch to panning settings on the camera. I have a complete setup for action on the mode dial, Custom Mode 1. It has a fast shutter and certain settings for the head-on...

TAMRON announces the development of 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless. Class-leading compact and lightweight* telephoto zoom | News | TAMRON TLDR is that Tamron announced they are developing the Tamron 70-180mm f 2.8 Di III VC VXD G2, no...

I remember when this lens was announced thinking it would be nice to have the extra 50mm below the standard 100-400 lenses. I didn't think about it much more until a few weeks ago when I started wishing for that added 50mm while shooting and rediscovered it while window shopping. It's shaping...

I've been having some fun with panning shots at the track. In order to pan I need something between 50-70mm. Right now I have to switch cameras to the 24-105, then go back to the 100-400 for the coming at you shots. The added 50mm at the short end will be a nice convenience and eliminate camera...

How about an unofficial thread? There seems to be a few gracing the members here. Please join in. I'll start with the 75. A unique blend of focal length, aperture speed, cost, size and output. The amazing Olive.
