I own both Sony TC's. The 1.4X is my favorite out of the two. The glass quality of both is really GM excellent (despite what you may hear). However the biggest issue with the 2X is that it robs you ...

In low light the the answer is a resounding no. And the disc drive companies will love you ;)

Now that's more like it ... running dogs are actually pretty difficult! Lumbering civil aviation jets not so much ;)

Really? That's slightly astonishing to me. But anyway...  if you simply shoot in manual mode (highly recommended for general purpose shooting) the camera ignores the Ev dial setting ;) Shooting in ...

Try adding an ND filter, during the day is no problem.

Moisture is really the enemy (to most things you want to preserve) so there really is no "down side" to having your gear stored as dry as possible.

I sense another cyclist here ;) Indeed it can even take the fillings out of your teeth ;)

Don't fall for the megapixels marketing hype. The A9 is aimed at professionals for a very good reason. I find 24MP to be a total sweet spot in terms of IQ and workflow. I also crop all my images ...

LOL :-) Yes I could certainly use that myself!

It's a super high megapixel sensor... consequently you're going to experience all the problems associated with smaller photo sites (this is nothing to do with the camera brand and more to do with ...

Congrats on owning what is quite possibly the best camera in the world! (second only to the A9ii ..... perhaps). Nice shots but your A9 is not even flexing it's muscles yet with slow lumbering ...

I generally have eye AF on most of the time (sometimes I will switch it to the new animal eye AF for shots of dogs etc..). No need to press any buttons, unless there are people in the background ...

Nice shots! You sound surprised? I'm sure it works just as well now as when you bought it, I know my A7r does too which I still keep as a spare body. But this might possibly be the wrong forum for ...

Hmmm ... 35 or 55 again ... this is going to be a VERY long thread! Call it a hunch. Personally I own (and I'd always have available) both prime FLs. They're both excellent general purpose focal ...

You nailed it. This is why the A9 totally blows it away for tracking moving subjects, because it's a much faster architecture internally but also primarily because the architecture enables zero ...

Those would be my choices based on what you want to shoot. The 1.4 TC is excellent with the 100-400 GM, it is one of my favorite combos. The 24-70 GM is also excellent glass but it's quite heavy.

I haven't noticed anything this with my A9, but I swap batteries in just a few seconds usually (perhaps that matters?). How long is it without a battery? Maybe another A7Riii owner here can try ...

I have noticed that the IBIS sensor rattles around inside my A9 whenever the camera is powered OFF and I am rushing around. Turn the camera on and the now energized sensor is stabilized by the IBIS ...

I wouldn't put sticky tape on my own camera personally. Yuk! Much better to get in the habit of checking your exposure.. and anyway the Ev compensation dial is actually very handy and it needs to ...

My father-in-law (retired now) was a "packaging engineer" and this is all part of the math. Pretty much everything that you buy is packaged in ways to try to ensure that it arrives safely and ...
