I haven't tried the new Samyang F1.4, but I have owned the other three. The new F1.4 seems to use a very similar optical design to the older one. Sharpness is going to depend on how well-aligned ...

I own too many. I really like the Macro but only for macro. For general use the Sigma 45. The Yongnuo 50mm F1.8 is pretty impressive.

The Batis already seems redundant for landscapes: https://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Compare/Side-by-side/Sony-FE-24-70mm-F28-GM-II-on-Sony-A7R-IV-versus-Zeiss-Carl-Zeiss-Batis-25mm-F2-Sony-FE-on-Sony- ...

Sony used digital stabilization exclusively for video on all of their SLT cameras starting with the A77/A65 in 2011 up until the A99II. They had used the sensor shift system during video for the ...

Do you want shallow DOF or amount of background blur? DOF is constant with relative aperture at similar subject framing. The focal length doesn't matter. The background blur will be more magnified ...

This 8-pin 2x MC7 should work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134427656609?hash=item1f4c8341a1:g:kkwAAOSwV4tj1G~R&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAkPFFgNL%2Bf32SCeNfY3aKJI6x99y60Iixiji8Nd3kxaONsT4RWyRv6VBAYJg06zlxKF ...

Wider angle than what? Other requirements? These are the widest aperture native AF options: (1) Sony 50mm F1.2 GM (2) Sigma 35mm F1.2 DN Art All the AF 85mm ...

Teleconverters can have alignment issues. Did you try another one? I had half a dozen MC7s, and they varied in sharpness. Even the 2x MC4s should be sharp in the center.

Do you have the A001S - LD IF Macro or A009 - USD model? Both models should work with Kenko DGX teleconverters. The Kenko Pro 300 models may also work. The older Tamron should work with most ...

It is the same change regardless of format. I consider it quite small. Also if you are focusing on close objects how the lens changes focal length with closer focus can matter more than the stated ...

No. 300 to 400 is a much smaller change than 200 to 300.

Lots of features only work for certain lenses and certain cameras. For instance: Breathing Compensation - Only in the last few camera bodies, only supports a few lenses and which lenses are ...

Just note that the menu item that enables this is called "MF Assist" not "focus magnify."

I am not sure what you are saying, but I think you are using the Zoom function but instead want the Focus Magnifier. Zoom on Sony cameras is basically a variable crop. It show a white scale on the ...

Focus-by-wire is not actually required for MF Assist. It only requires a focus encoder. It works with fully manual lenses that have encoders. It also works with non focus-by-wire EF lenses with ...

I've heard the original Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS has the traditional SSM motor with a mechanical focus clutch so it has full-time DMF just like the Minolta 70-200 F2.8 G SSM (and 300mm F2.8 G ...

The 30mm F1.4 DC, 18-35mm F1.8 DC, and 24-105mm F4 DG all came out before the 50mm.

Maybe wait for the Nikon Z 70-180 F2.8 I've seen quite a bit of variation in field-of-view with "135mm" primes.

DDR3L is dynamic random access memory. It doesn't retain data without power for very long--not even seconds. The only use for them is to put them back in a working iMac or other computer that ...

The main AF adapters are for Minolta/Sony A-mount and Canon EF mount. The A-mount ones are made by Sony and are LA-EA3, 4, and 5. The best Canon EF adapters are arguably the Metabones IV and V. ...
