Ziginox

Can confirm, went with Godox and was overjoyed when they released the new macro units a couple months back, as they're just what I was hoping they'd get around to making!

My Mid-2012 non-retina machine, too.

The oversharpening is visible on a lot of them even without zooming in, imo.

As Chris mentioned in the video, they also did a bit of material removal on the tripod foot. It stands to reason they probably did some inside, too.

I also don't at all mind the cat's eye thing, not sure why everyone harps on them so much.

Minolta and Canon did the same to get autofocus, though. I think the real misstep was limiting themselves to the 4/3 sensor while competitors moved up to larger APS-C and full-frame sensors. Not to...

I just found a little clip I had taken, although I think I may have lied because the lens mounted on the camera does not appear to be the 16-50mm. It would have to have been the DT 55-210, as the ...

Yeah, car rides is the main thing I'm wanting, as I have a couple of USB-C ports handy... Shame that isn't for W batteries
Nevermind, found one for W batteries. Can't seem to find it without...

"Probably the biggest waste was just bundling the charger and cable with everything every time. That should stop. "
Definitely not. I use the chargers for my old phones for my current one, and this...

Impulses, which one did you get for your Sony batteries? W or Z? Trying to find one, but I'm concerned about them all being cheap garbage.

Lightning is in no way "better" than USB-C

I will give a caveat to that. I put the 16-50 2.8 SSM on a Minolta 7000 and, even though compatibility says it should work, it throws all sorts of weirdly high aperture numbers up on the screen. ...

Aha, thank you for setting me straight! I always forget how simple A-mount compatibility is compared to the mess that is F-mount.

Ah right, I might have been getting mixed up a bit. I thought the 16-50mm 2.8 SSM might have done it all electronically, but it has been a while since I've had one in my hands. You're 100% correct ...

I own one, it and my a6500 were married for years until I finally dropped the dough on the 16-55mm 2.8, which is plenty sharp. If you really want something outstandingly sharp and fast, though, ...

That's going to depend on how you're rigging up the camera, and if you'd find the extra focal range of the 24-104 a benefit compared to the larger aperture on the 24-70. Looks like both are pretty ...

Even if it did have one, it would simply be telling the camera which aperture to set the lens to. AFAIK, all A-mount glass (not including cheap manual-only lenses) have eletromagnetic diaphragms ...

It depends on what setting you have the camera in. Not sure if the A7s III will be exactly the same, but on the a6500 if you turn "Setting Effect OFF" for "Live View Display" the aperture will ...

Might wanna calm it, look at the boat picture. CA off the charts, worse than lenses from the 70s and 80s imo.

Exactly, having a phone mounted for nav usage is a pretty common thing
