Sniper mode will work most of the time with a tele zoom lens. But sometimes, explicitly asking for taking a picture may be better. I highly recommend this course ( https://www.thegreatcourses.com/c ...

16-70 user here. My lens seems not to have sticky zoom ring, IMO, but still not smooth enough for video purpose. You will need the 18-105 then.

You might get a defected lens (likely de-centered issue). Beside AF accuracy, severe chromatic aberration is another reason that I returned the lens, twice.

Eye AF in AF-C mode on a6300, and AF-S on a6000 (eye AF can't work on AF-C mode on a6000). I don't remember the exact focus area setting, most likely wide.

I bought the lens twice and returned it twice because of inconsistent AF with both a6000 and a6300. Sometimes I thought I nailed the focus on the eye but photos didn't show what I expected. FE 85 ...

Thanks, Capi. The article seemed too much spoken not written English to me.

What do you mean by "I don't have any insider knowledge of this, or I wouldn't be able to write this...", Richard?

Congratulations, you just have a new subscriber/fan (me)! By the way, does this photo come from a single shot or from multiple ones and how did you process it ( http://www.marcelkuska.cz/imgbrowser ...

I had a6000 and upgraded to a6300. HD footage of a6000 seems better than that of a6300 I did not have a direct comparision, i.e. shooting at the same time and place. But if you don't mind editing ...

I found the color and contrast are similar between these 2 lenses but they are subjective.

Your observation is in line with mine. I tried and compared the 18-135 with 16-70 and decided to keep the 16-70 for very same reasons. I wish the 16-70 should be sharp across the frame when being ...

I got the 24 1.8 after the 16-70 and love it so much for the contrast and close up focus ability (pseudo macro as you said). The lens is very sharp across the frame. Don't buy it for full MSRP but ...

You can get a used one for ~$600. I got mine for same price and I am very happy with the lens.

Sharpness may be the main parameter to YOU. For others, it is the focal length, especially for PRIME LENSES. Of course, ideal sharpness and focal length are personal preferences.

I recently got a used 24 1.8 ZA for $600. Absolutely love the lens for its compactness, sharpness, micro-contrast, and close focus ability.

I checked your sample images and came to a conclusion that your shooting style doesn't need BSI CMOS, IBIS, eye AF, large dynamic range blah blah blah. In fact, I can't appreciate the beauty in ...

I crack up every time I watch this :)

Yes, I watched this many years ago. And your point is...?

Vietnamese living in the US here. Safety is always a top concern in many Western countries. They were just trying to give you their perspectives but don't let them make you upset. Nice photos ...
