Would you seriously carry the 24-70 f/2.8 GM on a four-week backpack-trip vacation? What proportion of each day would that lens be on your camera and ready to shoot? Are you perhaps thinking of a ...

Thanks so much to Sean and Rol for your answers to my question. Sean's answer inspires me. It is a terrific attitude for a photographer. Rol mentioned the desirability of a light longer telephoto ...

Care to speculate which focal lengths you would have used most had you had the 12-24?

You're considering the Sony 28-70mm f/2.8 GM for your A7r2. We're in the realm of opinion, of course, but I wouldn't take that big zoom on a multi-day trip in a backpack. Instead of the big, heavy ...

I'm surprised by this, statement Jim.  I would have expected you to be the kind of photographer who tries to learn and improve by reviewing past images, and EXIF data certainly helps for that. It ...

Yes, this intriguing graph. I'm not sure we're all able to understand the meaning of this graph when comparing FF cameras with different megapixels. I know I'm not. For example, what would the ...

My 16-35 is so mediocre at 35mm on an a7r2 that I'm not sure what to do with it. For example, the tiny 40mm Heliar completely dominates the 16-35 zoom at comparable focal lengths.  Sad but true.

Come to think of it, they might change focal length depending on focus distance, so maybe both of these meanings are what they have mind.  If one shifts, the other does too, ordinarily.

Thanks, makes sense, but I was trying to talk about the lens in the OP, the Nikon 28/1.4, which is being (apparently officially) called a fixed zoom in various places, including here: https://www.a ...

Is a Nikon-only term?  I've checked a bit, and there is maybe a hint that it refers to full-time manual focus, but I'm not sure. Sorry, I'm not that into Nikon terminology, but "fixed zoom" sounds ...

Why would you say that? People who ask questions should always purchase the cheapest option? Why? Who made such a rule? Let us allow that most potential buyers don't already have perfect ...

Perfectly clear, thanks! What aperture do you use with the Samyang?

Apparently not; I've looked, even setting Single-shot, MF or AF-S, and turning off Auto ISO.  Can't think of what else to try. Are they underexposed, or do you crank up the ISO?  How do you stack them?

I can't find how to do bulb on an a9 either.  Hope it is possible.

I shot exclusively with Canon for almost 35 years. I switched from a 5D mark III to a Sony a7r. Delighted with my change. My wife changed from Canon to Sony at the same time, and she was happy ...

Remember, I'm referring to shooting a meteor storm.  In my case, Delicate Arch was prominent, and lit by some moonlight.   Reciprocity failure helped me get much longer exposures for more and ...

Here's one careful example that's already available: https://petapixel.com/2017/05/04/star-eater-issue-no-longer-recommend-sony-cameras-astrophotography/ It was a clear morning, in an extremely ...

Sorry, my answer was incomplete.  Go to the last page of Camera-2 in the menu, and set Audio Signals = Off.

If you are shooting a meteor storm, reciprocity failure is a benefit. The last time I shot 35mm film was during a meteor storm in Arches National Park. There was a fellow from Japan there with ...

Too late, I've already noticed a difference with tripod-mounted landscapes in Utah. I believe that anyone with a Sony star-eater camera can see the difference if stars are important in their 24mm ...
