Nicely done! Great use of dark tones against a subdued background. Sets a striking mood. : )

Up to a point, yes. But of course, a shot taken at 35mm can be used as is or cropped to something in the 40-50, range without too much penalty (certainly not as much penalty a crop from 26mm to the ...

I hate to be picky, but if there was a 16-26 f/2.8 GM. 35mm would not be covered by it. ; ) Nice collection of lenses. I think having the 55mm for travelling light and low light is reasonable. ...

Absolutely. Changes in focal length are proportional. So at 100mm an extra 8mm may barely enough to notice, whereas at 16mm, as you say, it is massive... Wide FOV can be useful for landscape, but ...

I know exactly what you mean about the 12-24 G lens cap. It fits really well, but where the heck do you put it (it won't fit comfortably (or at all) in most pockets! All my other lens caps go into ...

I agree that that's confusing and does seem to suggest he might not be done. On the other hand, he says that after what sounds like a final wrap up. And in the first video he laid out what topics ...

Because of reports like that about the 70-200 GM, I held off for over a year. When I finally relented and bought one I was resigned to it being passable but probably little more. On the first ...

No problem, all good, Den. : )

My name is not "Sporty", thanks. Yes, I posted a link to the second and, I assume, final part of what was introduced in part one as a two-part series. At 0:06 of the first video: " Hi I'm Justin ...

The final video is up - the link was posted earlier in the thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN29OIlfG8M Interestingly, the second installment shows still more clearly some of the differences ...

Interesting to see that Sanyang have announced a 24mm lens that appears to be similar in size/format. Yes - it depends where your priorities lie. For compactness, giving up a bit of low-light ...

Yes - last year, as stated in the chart and my accompanying text. Given that the contention that Sony prices are high has been in circulation now for several years, last year is not very long ago. ...

Only if no one has replied, seemingly.

If you carry a smartphone, you might consider installing the PlayMemories app. Then you can view the screen from anywhere nearby (at any angle) and also remotely trigger shots. FWIW. Canon would ...

Interesting comments. If there's a flaw in your reasoning, it's that it's founded on a suspect premise - that Sony lenses are more expensive overall. In the case of some specific/individual lenses, ...

At least as a strategy for now, it makes a certain amount of sense. You'd get better low light performance across the range, at the cost of more frequent lens changes - and for situations where you ...

Yes - you are compromising a bit on speed to get that reach with the 100-400 + 1.4xTC. But as mentioned, the IQ is excellent. In the case of dark alleys, so long as the birds in question are ...

We might be waiting a while for a 70-700 f4 (not to mention the size it would be) !! Guessing you may have meant 70-200 f4 ?  ; )

Of course - if you are prepared to double exposure times or double ISO (or some combination of both)... Indeed.  : )
