Pixel Pooper

It can't replace any 1:1 macro lens. The 45mm working distance is no problem and is typical for this type of lens.

It seems you really like your Tamron, but you just might be kidding yourself if you think it can replace a 1:1 macro lens.

The OP was about how Sony rates the lenses in the Sony line up. Batis, Loxia, and Touit lenses are not part of the Sony line up so they are not relevant to the question.

On Sony Australia's website they group G and GM together and the Zeiss lenses seem to positioned lower. Also G lenses are more expensive on average and have more features like weather sealing, ...

Sony rates the G series higher than the Sony Zeiss lenses. Batis and Loxia are not included as they are not Sony products. It depends on the individual lens, some are better than others. The G ...

Who did?

I haven't misconstrued anything. McCurry got caught lying and he knows it, which is why he suddenly removed the title "photojournalist" from his website in 2016 and started backpedalling from the ...

I'm not the one who is crying. It is the band of McCurry apologists who keep posting thread after thread about this. This current thread is the OP's third: Tony Northrop attacks Steve McCurry Tony ...

Apparently you have a very basic understanding of the English language. The quotes below are Steve in his own words. The point is that Steve claimed that his posed portrait of the Afghan girl was a ...

Nice work. I use the same lens on A6500 but I have never tried using AF for this type of thing.

Not anymore, but he is still a liar. McCurry has consistently misrepresented his staged and manipulated photos as genuine "serendipitous moments" because he knows that nobody would care about his ...

A more relevant question would be: "How many times have you passed off staged images as journalism and built a career and reputation based on lies?" A: Zero

This video was from before the evidence came out that he staged and manipulated many of those iconic images, so he was still brazen enough to stand in front of this image and talk about ...

Have a look at this thread in the Sony forum: Bees In Flight with the A6400

Impressive results! Are these cropped much? How much magnification, or how far were you from the bees?

Wow! I didn't know they made them that small.

If you shoot at 1:1 magnification on FF you get a scene width of 36mm, and at 1:1 on APS-C you get a scene width of 24mm. If you want the same 36mm width that you get on FF at 1:1, you would use ...

I use this lens on the A6500 which I think has the same EVF as your A6300 and I don't find it inadequate at all. I have focus magnification set to a custom button but I usually just use peaking ...

At any given magnification the working distance is the same regardless of sensor size. Yes, you do get more working distance for the same framing because you only need 1.5:1 magnification where you ...

All the time. Here's one from last week that I haven't got around to deleting yet.
