Silat Shooter

You'll want as much telephoto as you can carry/willing to carry.  So I'll echo the 200-600 option.  On the wide side, it's personal preference really.  I happen to really like the Batis 18mm.  So ...

Adobe Photoshop 2020 crashing when I click on Viveza or Dfine after update. Seems a fix is needed. Just an FYI

I like the look that primes give me over zooms, and weight is big factor for me.  I love fast glass but hate to carry it.  So for me, the Zeiss Batis line works well.  The lenses are very light ...

I've shot both and real world use, not crazy pixel peeping, I didn't see much of difference.  I found the contrast and color better on the Zeiss, the bokeh better on the Sony.  The weight was the ...

Like all here, I was eagerly anticipating the A9 II announcement.  When I saw the specs,  I groaned too and knew immediately this forum would be alive and kicking. The updates make sense FOR THE ...

I saw the video you're referring to as well.  I frankly feel it was over the top and bit of 'click bait'.  I have experienced dust on the sensor and yes it was annoying.  But once in two years...

I own a Batis 85mm and can say without ANY reservation that I have not experienced that at all.  It's a terrific lens.

I agree with everything Steve W wrote here. Things I believe will be a given: improved weather sealing, dual UHS-II card slots, improved EVF (hopefully with much improved lag), better ergonomics, T ...

I, too, have the Batis 40mm and have zero issues with focus.  It's a superb lens.  I have to say I find the focal length quite useful too.  It seems to work well for a variety of subjects. It's my ...

Do we really need another line of Cine Lenses? The market for Cine lenses can't be that big.

This has been an interesting read.  I'm with just about everyone here.  My A9 isn't going anywhere.  I'll echo other's comments such as blackout-free shooting is hard to give up, silent shooting ...

No doubt some interesting options posted here.  I have several packs, but for the amount of stuff you posted, a bigger Mindshift pack should work well.  They're durable and well conceived and more ...

If the A7RIV had a smaller Raw file option, that would sway me toward it.  I'd say 80% of my images don't require more than 30mp.  What I will add is shooting without viewfinder blackout is a ...

Like others here, I too have the Batis 40mm and it's become my most used lens.  The look and IQ from it are just superb.  I understand the concern of the 16-35 being really close to the 40 in ...

Like others here, I have the Batis 18mm, it's a GEM!  Love it!  Size, weight, IQ,  build, top notch in all regards.  I've tried those wide angle zooms, they're too bulky and heavy for me.

That's Funny!  Appreciate the good laugh! Agreed!  But after I started using it, I wondered why wasn't this addressed much earlier.  The idea of the peak moment of an action to be blacked out as ...

Like others here, I'm a big of the A9.  It's simply the best camera I've ever used.  So I'm curious as to how Sony will play this with the new one.  If they make the new one a beast and price at ...

Cameras are boring...ha ha ha That was great!

For one lens only, a zoom likely makes the most sense but...I have to say I prefer the 'look' I get from primes.  My most used prime is the Zeiss Batis 40mm.  It strikes a nice balance of ...

I think there's a lot of good feedback here.  I will echo what others have said.  Both 135's are excellent lenses.  It really comes down to how you intend on using it.  I don't use tripods for the ...
