Once again GAS has struck. I decided last season that I would like (not need) a set of 2.8 zooms to bridge the gap between my slower daylight zooms that offer a nice wide focal range and my nighttime primes. The primes are faster, yes, but they also limit my focal range (and thus composition) to...
Doesn't look like anyone else is posting about this lens on Sony. This is a pretty specialist lens, it is very wide angle but also offers +/- 11mm of shift, which really helps with architectural photographs but is also really effective for creating stitch panoramas with little distortion. The...
Ok, I admit it, I'm bored. The rumored lenses that interest me haven't appeared. The Viltrox Pancake is flawed and no longer on the short list. I haven't bought anything since the Camera in January. I want to have a play with something, but it needs to be cheap while I wait for one of the...
So as title playing around with the 300 2.8 today and realised it goes all the way to f45 the old a-mount goes to f36 I think I can check that when I get time. added the shot just as an example of what f45 looks like
There's lots of 40-150 range kit zooms in m43 world that are cheap and decent. Just wondering if there is anything similar in the sony fe system? Preferably light and smallish
I have purchased an "As New" Sony SEL 24240 lens but found that the petal hood sit about 45 degrees off line. I notice that the location mark on the lens for alignments is at around the 4.00 position as viewed from the front and not on top as per other lenses. Can this be re-positioned, any help...
Anyone interested in this lens? IQ looks acceptable for what it is. It'd be a nice compact lens on a C or APS-C. Aperture is fixed. Built in lens cap. Supposed to be just south of $100 US. Might be a fun lens, I've never had a pancake...
Who needs a Macro with this combo at hand :) This has been my main set up for the last 4 years now. I've always been an advocate for using a long zoom for Dragonflies and Butterflies, as you don't get so close as to disturb them. This is a Broad Scarlet, taken in Spain last week. Absolutely...
Hi I got a Sony A230 for free. All I had to do was pick it up and buy a battery for it. I can't get an exact life expectancy for the shutter 50k or 20k. It is an oldie circa 2009 and the Nikon D70 is rated at 50k. It came out in 2004. I contacted Sony Ca, nada. Does anyone know what I'm...
Seems like a lot lately. Tamron 50-200/2.8, 28-180/2.8, Viltrox 28/4.5 Pancake, Sigma 28-105/2.8. Tamron 50-300/4.5-6.3, Sigma 28-45/1.8, Tamron 28-300/4-7.1, others from Viltrox, Meike, etc.
These are rich times we're living in, not sure I've ever before seen a lens selection as vast as this...
My three year old twin grandsons are coming to stay for a day or so with us. My wife had me make some lightsabers out of a pool noodle for them to play with. I'm thinking we could also do some light painting in the dark garage too. Maybe make some videos of the trains we'll be setting up out...
I've been using a Pergear 260G 'Pro' since the beginning of the season and have been very satisfied so far. Have made many thousands of shots, formatted it a dozen times, uploaded photos, etc. with no issues. It also comes with 5 years of support. This looks like a newer line from Pergear, a...
I recently bought an SLT -A65 with GPS, and I've upgraded the firmware to 1.07. Everything about it seems to work as expected with the exception of GPS logging. I've downloaded the "assist" data from Sony and succesfully copied it to the SD card and turned on GPS, but I'm getting nothing...
Hello!
I'm assuming that many folks have dealt with the focussing problems these cameras sometimes have. I have repaired another one I own one by re-gluing the lower section of the magnetic assembly, and everything's OK. I just bought another DSC-T20, and it, too, has the buzzing focus...
Was playing around with some file sizes in the camera, so thought I'd play with an old favorite lens. Kind of surprising how it holds up on a high-res sensor, but they do start to fall apart with too much cropping. These are not full res.
I started looking for detailed information on this while testing to see if Darktable ever added the Lossless Compressed RAW. I figure many of you already know this, but it doesn't seem to be written down in clear terms anywhere.
Sony added the M and S options for Lossless Compressed RAW to the...
Hello everyone,
I'm using a Sony ZV-E10 to shoot 4K videos of moving cars.
I need a lens that performs well in low light and creates a blurry background to highlight the subject clearly in the foreground.
Any recommendations for lenses that would suit this setup?
budget: 300$
mount: e mount...
An interesting focal range for sure. It won't rate at DxO but I find its performance very good. Especially considering its attributes. I really enjoyed the 20-40 and while I initially missed the idea of having F2.8, I can see this being more useful and convenient.
Well the long awaited Sony A1 update dropped after some issues, and as per usual it seemed to be of little use to me and possibly many others. thoughts please did you bother? will the A1 ever get a decent update?
I bought the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 Macro G OSS II Lens to go with my new Sony A7cR. The "R" version came with the add-on grip, so true handling is actually pretty good. But after using it for a bit and for the Single April challenge it's not really what I want for my kit. I want something...
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 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'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...
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...

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...
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...
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...."...
Just FYI - As a lot of you may already know, I've been experimenting with some vintage early 2000 digital cameras. 2 of which are Sony (F828 and R1) and they both came with Memory Stick cards.
I tried connecting up the camera itself to the computer to download the images - but had no luck. I...
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...
So, the O-M1 is the first m4/3 camera I've bought that I'm not enjoying. It's a fine camera, images are good. I got some lovely images on my trip to Greece. I'm just not enjoying using it.
What to get in its place? I don't think I'll go down the Nikon road again. The Z7II was great as was...

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...
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.
