I love my 24-105 f4 lens.  It is sharp throughout its range and extremely well mannered when it comes to flare, ghosting, etc.  My only reservation after using it for a while is that it is a big ...

I know pretty much nothing about the Canon eco system. The comparison you show makes the Canon look like it renders better in that particular test. I do know the A77II is an excellent camera. I ...

When we shot the eclipse photos my daughter and I were setup in our driveway. We had a couple of old ~20" computer monitors that we used for focusing and framing. Framing was by far the hardest part. ...

I bought my A7RIV about a year and a half ago, right before the A1 was announced. I spent a lot of time contemplating about what was going to come out next. When the A1 was announced it was pretty ...

No, those dark areas are sun spots. Really, they are! :) I took several pictures of the sun back in 2017 while practicing for photograph the eclipse. When you see the sun spots you know you have ...

Put a camera in their hands and go have an adventure with them! I handed my Sony A33 off to a nice lady that was a complete stranger. These photos are from 2013. My daughter is 17 now so she must ...

You have a little dirt near the middle of your sensor. LOL, I know they are sun spots. Are you practicing for the eclipse? It looks like you have focus and exposure dialed in quite well!  What kind ...

In my experience there isn't a lot of difference between a good 24mp APS camera and a good 24mp FF camera. You are going to have to do a lot of side by side pixel peeping to see much of a difference. ...

The A7c + 28-60 makes a really nice compact kit. The small size of the A7c is a hinderance on a large lens like 24-105 IMHO. If you want a small compact kit stay with APS. If you want to use large ...

I have been shooting A-Mount since the Maxxum 7000 in 1985. That was my fathers camera that I took several photography classes with and learned photography on. I remember when Sony bought out ...

They look like a REALLY bad photoshop job to me.

I respect your evaluation and would really love to see some real life examples of the moire you have been having problems with. "Expert" camera reviews are so superficial that I find that they ...

For a small zoom on my A7RIV I am trying the 28-60 F4-5.6 for a diminutive carry around kit. For critically sharp excellently rendered photographs I hump along my big 24-105 F4. There is only so ...

Are you talking Minolta SR mount, i.e. 58mm 1.2? Or Minolta AF A-Mount? I have a decent quality dumb adapter for my Minolta SR mount lenses. I use the LE-EA5 adapter for my Maxxum and Sony A mount ...

I own 3 x TT685S's that I use off camera with a Flashpoint Pro Mark II controller. The 685's are very similar to the 860 in design and have done everything I have ever asked of them. If I were ...

Personally, in my entire life time, I have only purchased 1 new ILC camera. All others have been used. Likewise some people will only buy brand new cars off the lot. I am not one of those people. ...

Just curious, where are you are seeing new Sony E-mount cameras with kit lenses for $600?

Where is your A700 falling short for you now? What do you wish it would do that it doesn't and you are hoping a new camera will? The A77II is an excellent camera. The Sigma 10-20 and Tamron 90 are ...

I think your will really like the 100mm 2.8 macro! I know I love mine. I used it a lot on my A77 before it was stolen. With your A65 being basically the same camera it should give you great ...

35 years ago my father handed his Maxxum 7000 to me.  I still love that camera!
