I think the 17-28 range on the Tamron is workable as a walk around lens especially with some minor cropping but I would not sell the GM for the Tamron unless you need the cash. I think it's very ...

Thanks for the feedback and yeah I don't believe a tripod like the Gitzo 1555T is built for real abuse. I usually travel with it inside my backpack since it folds up so compactly but not something ...
-
I bought the gitzo mostly because of how compact it is and i've used it mostly for city travel and hiking in good weather. It's actually my one and only tripod. I was originally going to get ...

I have the excellent Gitzo 1555T + ballhead tripod. However, after spending that much on a tripod, I realized I'm not inclined to abuse it (e.g. stick it in mud, ocean water, lake water, let it ...

Options B, C,D and E basically replicate what the 24-105mm f4 can do. So why not just keep the 24-105mm f4 and add a 35mm f2.8 for when you want small size and low light? f2.8 is enough in most ...

I agree - I think Canon has nailed this. If you look up the dimensions, it's only slightly bigger than a Sony RX1R. Sony has been going the opposite direction with the A7 series - it's gotten much ...

I think Zeiss did for the last Contax system - I was thinking about picking up one of those for my Sony A7 II back in the early days of the system but far too expensive for what it was when you ...

I used to own the 16-35mm f4 and own the 16-35mm f2.8 GM now. I also had the laowa 15mm f2, voigtlander 10mm, loxia 21, batis 25 and still have the loxia 25. Reasons to pick the 16-35mm f2.8 GM ...

Loxia 25mm, 50mm and 85mm where I would bring two out of three of those lenses with me. I used to carry three lenses and that kit was the 21mm, 35mm and 85mm but I got sick of changing lenses all ...

Also the black magic egpu I have comes with USB ports - they’re nice to have but my lg 5k monitor also has USB ports as well. I don’t see any performance issues with those ports

@mosc your point on bandwidth is valid but I can tell you firsthand even bandwidth constrained, it’s a lot better than running with an intel integrated gpu and I don’t want to haul around a 15in...
-
I took a chance and bought the blackmagic eGPU when it came out to pair with my 13in macbook pro 2018 and LG 5K display. I can say it's been a real game changer even if the graphics card is far...
-
Sounds like the real decision factor is are you more of a 24-70mm photographer or 16-35mm photographer since one of the two lenses would be on your camera most of the time. From an optical quality ...
-
I owned all five Loxia lenses at one point - still have the 25/85 and just re-purchased a used Loxia 50mm. The Loxia 35mm is decent - great size and I got a lot of use out of it when I had it. It ...

How important is autofocus to you? If important, Batis 40mm or Sony 55mm are the two best options. My biggest issue with the Batis 40mm is that it's absolutely huge for a normal focal range f2 ...

Thanks - just got back but didn't have a chance to go to the Salton Sea unfortunately. Will have to make a trip out at some point to check it out with my 100-400mm!

The biggest issue with zooms are that they take up a lot of space. 3 compact prime lenses take up much less space than 2 "prime grade" Sony G/GM zooms even if both kits weigh about the same.

Going to Joshua Tree national park for the weekend - can anyone who's been there share how much wildlife they've been able to see there in the winter time? I went once in the summer and pretty ...

I've never been to Columbia but I have been to Costa Rica and other far more questionable places as well like Rio De Janeiro. Costa Rica is actually one of the safest places in Latin America (I ...

The Sony actually has more magnification at 0.31x vs 0.25x for the Tamron but neither are a substitute for a true macro lens.
