Imagine hit by a dead bird or bird poop ... or even a shooting star lol

The recent price drop of M.2 SSD made it possible to have $100-120 1T in a much smaller box (1/4 size in volume) with USB3. I have two when I travel for big ... lol

Should we hold off the 4K TV upgrade and jump right into 8K? But where are the affordable 8K TVs and feed material? lol

Yep. I used to use no filters except UV/Protection sort. But to slow the shutter speed during "mid" day time outdoors we do not have too many choices so I ended up using ND. For the 15-30, I got ...

Thanks for the test. No suprise to me, I found 18135 was sharp since my October beach trip, not only I did not touch my Sigma 30F2.8E, I had to tune down sharpness on a few pictures I got with ...

This is a good lens although indoors AF can be sluggish sometimes and corners are not perfect (especially vignette caused IQ loss there ...), but my 24105G is not anything better overall. Review ...

As uaual great video review. Maybe the photo samples are a bit dry and felt wanting to see more ... eh? :-)

FE70-300G is slow on AF, it is a downgrade from 100-400 or other white/grey lenses IMHO. I have it and may get rid of it eventually.

Thanks Gary will do when I look for it and I figure it was mostly wide open. Cheers!

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing! Happy New Year 2019 :-) Not the most important, but Ican't help wondering why I can not see the aperture F number on your picture data while shutter speed ...

Ditto, I did on BlackFriday @1100 and then BH refunded me $200 after. Happy to get the lens and filter kit for free. May buy 1224 FE so I can share the filter.

It is more important on what else and % you are shooting besides portraits. If you are 50/50, 35MM might be a good start (I got the US$500 Samyang 35F1.4 and updated to firmware v3), if you are ...

Hilarious!
Thanks for the making of it.
Happy New Year to ya all!

YES! Unless you are cash dry. A6300+SEL18135 is the best Sony APSC combo on price/value.

Based on the lens above, adding Tamron 2875 might stop the "GAS" syndrome, no pun intended. I have SAMY 35F1.4 too, it "can" get 28F2 covered. If you are desperate to stick with prime, Batis 25 ...

To OP,  before all our time wasted on responding to you (I already did), please share the link or whatever info you "read" so we can deal it rationally. Looks like a troll if we see/hear nothing ...

You might consider a used SEL18135 now, I looked at your lens collections, so no pun intended :-) It was being called as the "WORST" lens 2018 by DPREVIEW, so ppl shall rush to sell it. I have 2 ...

Ditto prefer SEL18135, I own SEL18200 Silver. I sold SEL18105 - it is a boring lens with big header and horrendous distortion without zoom ring - an OK video lens. Indeed my 24105 (on A7R2) is not ...

I too have both Zony 85mm and 135mm lenses with A99M2, I also have A7R2 with Batis85 and GM85, I never notice anything on sharpness on any of these lenses by pixel peeping. The newer lense are ...

I have the above mentioned other 3 SAMs ... they are all good. SAL35F18 is more usefull on APSC, also MFD is 25cm so it can get 0.25x SAL50F18 is better for portrait, works almost on full frame SAL ...
