Good luck without an electronic viewfinder in sunny weather. Hard to compose and easy to miss some distracting elements on the edge of the frame.

Exactly. I have the rx100vii. I use the evf 99% of the time, even for filming. Hard to compose in sunny weather with the lcd. The evf is something that gives the edge to a camera over a phone. For...

The rx100va has the 2 step evf which is a pain for street shooting. The one step evf is a lot better.

If you want to film in full sun you need a viewfinder. I have the rx100vii that I love, but it would be nice to have a faster lens and built in nd filter.

I sold all my Sony flash’es and switched to Godox speedlights and led panels.

Problem is that in the USA it seems that there is no public land that is not regulated as a state/national/county park. Compared to Europe a lot of land is private and fenced off. You can’t park on...

Fake Sony camera batteries are sold on Amazon. I purchased one. Hard to tell the difference without watching a video that shows the details. I complained and got a refund.

Yes. The 16-55 is consistent. That makes it reliable. On editorial shoots with sufficient light it allows being more efficient than juggling 1 or 2 bodies with Sigma primes. Less dust on the ...

Yes, I was just wondering if I should sell the 16-70, or if it is good enough, let's say if I go on a backpacking trip with local buses in Mexico etc. The corners are not great, but otherwise it ...

16mm (24mm equiv) f/6.3 comparison. the right edge in the 16-70 is worse than the left edge, but I feel is acceptable for photos with strong content. If the lens retail price was 600 USD there ...

test part 2 16-55, 16-50, 16-50, Sony RX100 VII at about 50mm (75mm equiv FF) f/6.3 RAW, Lightroom lens correction profile, no adjustments. for some reason I feel at same ISO and exposure, the ...

I made a test just now, sunny weather and shot 2 buildings in the neighborhood, replicating how I may shoot a city sight. Shot RAW, ISO 100, applied Lightroom lens corrections, no other ...

yes the 16-55 is better than the rx100vii. But the difference is not much to my eye. Rx is better than A6x00 with 16-50  pancake. I can go do a comparison today. I’ll try to do at 5.6 or 6.3

Yes. Although it is not ideal for street photography, if you want to turn on the camera and shoot. The difference between deep dark shaded spots and full sun may be over the aperture range. I wish...

Here is a comparison, 16-55, 16-70 (missing from the second shot), RX100VII i did not do it properly, but in the coming days I will, but this can be indicative, the UV filters were on, and the one ...

Did you compare the 18-135 and 16-70? although 18 may not be wide enough for general shooting. I wish it were 17-100 or something like that. Changing lenses makes me miss shots. What tariffs are ...

Yes, I agree with you, with RX100 VII and 16-55mm for A6x00 i am fine for most situations. Yet if I go on a shoe string roughing it trip, I may take a cheaper, lighter lens, like the 16-70. I could ...

Yes I will do. Today it’s very dark and overcast. Maybe best on a sunny day. I have some comparison shots. But I had uv filter on  and the frame had buildings at different distance. the 16-55 seems ...

I ended up buying the 16-55 2.8. I have the 16-70 and the 16-50. I did a quick comparison between the 16-55 and 16-70 yesterday at f 4 and zooming in at 200% I feel the 16-70 is blurry on the right ...

The Sony case is very protective of the front element. A soft case may not protect the lens cover blades that can easily bend if pressured. But the Sony case is a bit small for continuous use of ...
