Hello NEWP510owner. I bought a longish lens for my A77ii last year to travel with and settled on a Minolta 100-300mm APO D (150-450mm cropped image equivalent). It is lighter, smaller and sharper ...

Hi Anders. My 88% mounted lens on the A77ii is the Ziese 16-80. Not weather-sealed but excellent IQ. I've had great results with my Minolta 100mm F2.8 macro too. Fantastic images. (I'll have to ...

Yes. You are right Tom on the IQ and other upgrade benefits from A77ii to A99ii.

It looks like I may need to hang on to my A77ii with flash a little longer then. I hadn't checked if the A99ii had one. It doesn't, so that may not be the next upgrade for me! (The A77ii also has ...

I've seen the specs of our newest A7 and A9 cousins and they lack inbuilt flashes. Personally I feel that I shall very much miss an inbuilt flash, as is on many A-mount models including the the ...

Yes Snowfella. I do have DMF selected too. The manual override with the half shutter button press seems to only work in AF-A setting. Cheers.

Actually Snowfella, I've just been experimenting with AF using focus peaking to display which areas of various AF modes actually focus. This method uses another useful feature of the A77ii, that ...

Lovely photos in all respects!

Thank you for all of your responses. It is fantastic that we have so much experience to share on this forum. I will take some test shots in various AF modes too. Cheers.

Hey Lehill. Thanks for the clarification on the wide focussing. I know it is good when using face detect and tracking but maybe it is not as precise as one wants at times. Yeah. I'll buy a newer ...

OK Franco. Thanks for the info on the card. I'll replace it. When using Wide AF, infrequently, I tend to keep moving the camera around slightly until the area I really want in focus is highlighted. ...

Hello from Down Under. Two simple questions concerning my A77ii: 1) Wide AF setting. I would have expected all the focus points to be highlighted in green when selecting this AF option but the ...

Thanks for your time in doing these shots and comparisons lehill. I'm sure others, like me, would like to see a couple more comparisons with the Tamron 100-600mm as that may  be more appealing to ...

I'll try the deep setting too Sybersitizen. Thanks for the response.

I'm just wondering what the common settings are for the Standard Creative Style contrast, saturation and sharpness, particularly on an A77ii? I have mostly left the values as the default zero ...

Hello Tim. Firstly, did you get a fully repaired A77ii back? 2ndly, I notice you now have an A7iii. How does that compare to using the A77ii and what adaptor are you using to use your A mount ...

I've just been looking at the review of the best cameras over $2000 and though one can see that the models are listed alphabetically it will be too easy for many viewers to read the tables as ...

Yep. That may do it Ron.

After my birding and safari tour to Sri Lanka I was looking at lightweight trolleys to help carry rucksacks and camera gear when hiking. There are some interesting ones available that attach to a ...

Hi Franco. As a fellow Oz what did you pay for your Tammy 200-500? I'm looking for a longer lens too. Your latest post are good photos. Are you getting any crisper shots on a tripod or monopod? I ...
