I thought about doing something similar with the A6500 (A7R III is my main and only camera right now), my Zeiss Loxia prime lenses and my Sony 100-400mm even going as far as buying one used and ...

The problem is your Fuji kit, Tamron 28-75, Sony 28-70 and your RX100 IV all give you roughly the same set of focal lengths. I would sell some of these duplicative lenses. If money is an issue, ...

I love primes as well but for such a trip, I think the optimal minimalist no hassle combination is to bring a 16-35mm f4 zoom and that 55mm f1.8 for telephoto coverage. Maybe a 28mm f2 as well if ...

My summary based on my own research since I had the Sony 16-35mm f4 a few years ago and thinking about buying the 16-35mm f2.8 now. My frame of reference are the Zeiss Loxia primes as an ...

Bumping this thread Any updates on recent greentoe prices for 16-35mm f2.8 GM? Anyone got one for $1900?. Got offer for $2000 but I'd like to get it lower in line with used pricing.

I haven't used either of those two tripods but there is nothing proprietary about Arca Swiss tripod plates and mounts. The whole idea is that it's interchangeable around a lot of different ...

Nice shots - my experience with pixel shifting (using PixelShift2DNG as well) is you get better color saturation but details don't seem to translate well outside of pure static objects like the ...

I hope it's only $3500, I would buy one at that price. I resisted the urge to buy the RX1R and RX1R II but decide that now is the time to either procure a used RX1R II or something like the ZX1. My...

Wish they made this in a rangefinder variant

Capture One does not have a dedicated lens profile for the Tamron lens. It pulls the "Manufacturer Profile" data embedded in the ARW file as written in by the lens. This is the data the camera ...

Except that full frame, APS-C, 4/3 and 1in image sensors will also continue to improve under your moore's law type assumptions. Medium format sensors aren't likely to be a focus area given that...

Simple, Sony A6500 + 70-300mm (Around $2k used for both) and a Sony RX100 Mark I - V ($300 to $800). Throw in a Samyang 12 ($200) and you're done. I don't think the bridge zooms are the right ...

I went on a tanzania safari 6 years ago and took a Canon Rebel T3i with the kit lenses. The pictures were decent for the equipment I had and my skill level at the time. You should definitely ...

1. Microadjust doesn't do anything for the a7 series cameras. It exists mainly for legacy A-mount lenses. This has been well documented for several years 2. I am familiar with the shutter speed ...

1. AF Tune does not exist for native lenses for the Sony A7R III. Not relevant. 2. I see no evidence that it's defective. If the miss rate was 100%, then that's a different issue but it's about 50% ...

My issue is that it is out of focus even though the camera indicates it has the eye locked on. I don't have another AF Sony lens right now  between 28mm to 75mm to test against but it seems far ...

You should keep the R and treat the extra resolution as a crop mode. You can theoretically save more money by buying fewer lenses since it has a very usable APS-C crop  (although I still have too ...

I last owned the 24-70mm f4 probably a year ago (bought two copies and sold both of them - net loss probably around $150 or so). Currently own a Tamron 28-75mm I bought new - it is significantly ...

Exactly, makes zero sense to buy now and pay to upgrade again in December.

Here’s my take organized by use case assuming $3k for lenses Landscape and travel video: Sony 16-35mm f4...about $1k used. Wildlife: Sony 70-300 about $1k used Street: Sony 28mm f2 ($400) and Sony ...
