I understand you don't have access to try a lens so it is important to read reviews and ask others what their experience might be with a lens your interested in. This certainly can help you judge ...

It is interesting that you give this advice since I was about to give you the same. I am assuming there is something driving you to want full frame otherwise there are some great APS-C cameras ...

I think you can use your Thinktank Retrospective 7 just fine the same way they show the peak design setup for two bodies and three lenses. Maybe go down to 6 if you don't want as deep a design. ...

As a user of both Canon and Sony side by side I don't agree. Also used Fuji X cameras as well. I think the difficulty of moving from one to the other is more based on some built in trait people ...

While the menus are not perfect they are not a disaster either. You guys can go back an forth for the next decade and neither of you can make a a true " I'm right because" argument the other will ...

As I reported in another forum... Had an interesting results yesterday. I was shooting with a flash yesterday at a private dinner party I was attending and wanted to try out the 40mm in that ...

I am always fascinated by these questions because it is really hard to believe that anyone would expect Sony to run out a new replacement camera in less than 8 to 9 months for a camera generally ...

Every Canon EF AF  and TS-E lenses I have works with the Metabones IV adapter on the A9 and provides IBIS support. Of course the effectiveness of the body's IBIS can vary from lens to lens. Steve W

If you can afford it I recommend the A73. Same batteries. Same attachments like grips and L-brackets. Lens will give you exactly same perspective so you can use it on either body and get out of it ...

So I've had my copy for two days now and I know the following. a) In both AF-S and AF-C with flexible spot, expanded flexible spot it focuses fast, silently and to me so far very accurately. b) ...

Jeff, I agree with you and it was a lens I just had to have since I love 50mm and for portraits I agree 50 works better for me. I bought the 40 for street work though since its more versatile, ...

Well my Batis 40mm will be arriving tomorrow but for pure portraits I might lean more toward the 50mm f/1.4 ZA which I think is a fantastic lens. Sure it cost more just like the 85GM did but I ...

Hey wait, that's my signature line (see below). been using it for about 10 years now. Of course Alert is one of the rare examples of intelligent life on our planet. Steve w

Well I don't have mine in my hands yet but my pre-order shipped from B&H today and should arrive at my office tomorrow. Unfortunately I won't be there to pick it up until next Tuesday. My try to ...

Hey thanks for the heads up. Just checked my order and have the same status. Steve

In the old days of infrared sensors we would do a similar test of looking up the tail pipe of a fighter jet and still being able to see the wing tips so you could identify the wingspan of the ...

Have to give it a +1 as well although there are others I love as well. Steve W

Works OK. Just a little thicker than I thought but that was hard to tell before I ordered it. In general if someone like RRS or Kirk made a two piece L bracket I might go that way. Right now I have ...

Well I am a long term Canon shooter with some great L glass but about 4 years ago I started shooting Sony along side it and today I shoot Sony more owning three Sony bodies and only a 5D Mark IV ...

Thank you for letting us know about this. Will look it up daily to keep a breast of what you find.  I am a big fan on the Batis family so I have this lens on pre-order. Of course everyone wants to ...
