Interesting Of course most of the difference is due to the fact that one is sampling over a smaller field of view on the dx frame i.e. 2.25 x fewer mpx but this doesn’t explain the 3x difference ...

Yes and it’s also a good camera for general photography unless you need/want  high mpx or the extra stop for low light.

Thank you Johannes ( and Rich for asking the question )for posting the link to the gear supplier and your information on repair. I have ordered some from aliexpress. When I get my next failure I ...

Australia and NZ did an incredible job.  Strangely enough, GB although not isolated is surrounded by water but we neither closed our borders or instituted a hard lockdown and so... Wish I lived on ...

All I can say is take care over Thanksgiving! I am afraid that even with the vaccines appearing next year it’s going to be tough - the same covid denyers will morph into vaccine deniers and one ...

That is great!!!!   So pleased you have it working. Be sure NOT to update/change the firmware on the tamron 100-400 unless you have evidence that it will continue to work with your V2.  The ...

Yes it is - the a9 may be better than the a7’s and z6/7 but nothing yet  comes close to a dslr like the d500/d850 - clunky or not.  I am talking here about basic functionality of af-c for ...

Maybe one of the sonnars like the jupiter 3 or the original zeiss 50mm 1.5 sonnar.

Sorry - Can’t help you I am afraid. If this is how it is behaving for you on test then it is likely that it will continue to behave this way unless something obvious about camera and lens settings ...

It works fine with my Z6 and will do with the Z7.  You may need to update the firmware using the tap-in console if it is an older copy. AF, VC work as it does on a dslr.  The limitations are due to ...

If it works after testing you should be ok with the bodies and ft1 that you test it with. Issues with Tamrons in general, as I understand and have experienced, seem to occur only when the firmware ...

Hmm - difficult Some thoughts: You will find the AF system on the later em1.2, em1x, em5.3 much much better than the bodies you have. I read good reviews of the oly 100-400 - it is definitely ...

Might be worth looking at this thread: tamron 100-400 The short version is that there can be problems with Tamrons and the FT1  It depends on the FT1 and lens/body firmware versions.  I forget now, ...

Very pleasant autumnal shots.  The isolated leaves and the tree bark detail in particular.

I am with you on that - I have had many many cheap and cheerful as well as better built lenses on many systems over the years and the only failure I have had was a failure of the ( metal ) bayonet ...

FYI - I think it may be about the same thickness on the Z’s as on the sonys - there was some question however about the interpretation of the Kolari tear down measurements which had it at 1.1mm ...

No one seems to have posted a link to Roger Cicala’s article on plastic lens mounts yet so i will: https://petapixel.com/2014/01/03/metal-mounts-really-better-plastic-lens-rentals-investigates/

Best posting it on the adapted lens forum. I have several opton 1.5 sonnars - they all look the same as each other and the same as your photos. The coating colour looks the same as well. There is a ...
