First, turn off touch shutter. Use the little icon on the lower left of the rear screen. Tap it to toggle between touch shutter enable and disable.  [pg 130 of advanced user guide] Ken Rockwell's ...

And just enough light to make you curious to look more closely. The eyes then draw you in!

Amazing shots Laci55! The first one is my favorite one. Great work!

I like the way the exposed sky becomes a completely white background setting off the mostly off-white bird and making the black details pop. The partial transparency of the wings just adds to it ...

Thanks for the kind words. One of the things that inspired me to take that first one was that interesting shaped "rainbow" effect (not a bow shape but containing broad light spectrum) in the cloud ...

Very cool effect on that last one!  Nicely done!

I don't think that sounds feasible. That's only 170 grams more than the RF24-70/2.8LIS. it's still a lot bigger with more housing materials (i.e.  more metal, more plastic, bigger motors) and ...

Np. And, personally, I'm not expecting a $500+ drop after one year. I'd expect more like $200-300 at most. We don't actually know the price of the new RF70-200/4LIS yet but if it is $2600 and ...

FE is Sony.  Currently sells for $2600.  Sounds like he's predicting the RF version will sell for $2100 or less within a year of launch.

Yes.  The RF50/1.2L is almost exactly the same size as the RF24-105/4LIS (less than a quarter inch fatter and the same length).  Meanwhile the RF28-70/2L is much bigger: longer fatter, big front ...

Yes. I'm optimistic. I've had it for a couple of weeks now but have been gone a lot so only had a chance to take it out briefly one day in the morning. Color and saturation look at least as good ...

Yeah. For group flash shots where the subjects are  dark I usually pull the trigger while looking directly (not through the EVF). I agree this can be an awkward work around for dynamic situations. ...

Sounds like they need a exp-sim-off mode that exposes the EVF image for the focus point. Seems doable...

Really love that first one Joe! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.

Very cool shot. Thanks for sharing!

Took a short walk to try out the new RF24-70/2.8LIS

Didn't watch very much of it but the contrast/saturation is noticeably better with the RF version.  This might be due to later generation lens coatings or just an improved design. It's harder to ...

Thanks for sharing all your work. Looks good overall!

This one also taken this morning with AF on the lower right corner but this time at the tele end (35mm).

Worth it IMO!
