I just discovered and read this entire thread. It's been a year since the last post. I'm a lot like many of you who contributed to this thread in the following ways: 1. I care a lot about lens ...

I did some more tests on the close focus issue and remain happy with my Batis 40mm. I photographed a page of text obliquely at about a 45 degree angle. I had to select the smallest focus area box ...

The Batis 40 took a lot of heat at phillipreeve.net regarding close autofocus. Lenstip disagreed: https://www.lenstip.com/589.10-Lens_review-Carl_Zeiss_Batis_40_mm_f_2_CF__Autofocus.html The ...

I find the dialog verrrry difficult to follow. They speak too fast and vary from soft to loud.

I've had my 24-70 f4 for several years. I've carefully tested it and it's a fine lens. Somehow it got off on the wrong foot with someone panning it's corner resolution. But corners rarely ...

I own the A7RIV and my excuse for buying the A7RV was that I wanted to try focus stacking. But now that I have the camera, the feature that I love is the superb IBIS. And it's not the ability to ...

I don't use Lightroom. But I've read that it can stack.

I'm impressed with these. I have flash shots with more wing blur than yours. I think it depends on the position of the wingbeats. The best chance for freeze being at the extreme top and bottom ...

Thank you Richard. Great photos. Alan

Please post any of your own Monarch related pics here. Let's share. Judging from all the caterpillars on the milkweed, we should have quite a few photo ops in coming weeks. Alan

Hello Richard, Simon (neighbor) and I photographed another newly emerged Monarch this morning. The newly released Monarch flew around his home milkweed plant and returned to it periodically. Simon ...

We are in Los Altos, California. Average temperature has been in the mid 50's F, for weeks. A neighbor clipped a twig with a caterpillar and kept it indoors for about a week. During that time it ...

The camera shoots a sequence of images, which must be stacked in a computer. As I mentioned in the OP, I stacked the images with Helicon software. Alan

This Monarch has just emerged from its chrysalis and is resting. The original 5000 pixel image shows great detail. It has been downsized to 1800 for sharing.

I began with the Sony 90 macro and was completely satisfied. But when the Sigma 105mm came along, I was impressed by the rave reviews which said it's even sharper than the Sony 90, so I bought ...
