The video does not show ramp loading/unloading, but rather CSS technology (contact start/stop, where heads remain on the disk surface when parking). The video is thus completely unrelated to the...

The last sentence is not correct, I'm afraid. As others have noted the G (and GM, and Zeiss) branding on the lens itself is a Sony thing. No Minolta lens ever had the G on the lens itself, just a ...

I have the Sony 200-600 G and my friend has the 100-400 GM. We both shoot the A7iii. The Sony is sharp at 600, unlike many other lenses in this range. I think it's very nice; it's not super heavy ...

Huge purple fringing issues, 6/5 optical construction, the Rokkor is probably better. But yes coatings can be a real issue with the older...

Sony Alpha Blog already has a review up.

Purple fringing is a huge problem, and the 6/5 construction hints at the standard lens design for...

This lens has a completely different optical design than the MK I, the older lens was a 8 elements/7 groups design with the aperture ring at the back.

Generally I can appreciate that argument, but for two of these lenses, AF is not strictly needed.

@Nikita66 -- you are simply wrong, or didn't figure out how to work your gear (if you release your half-press, of course the camera will try to focus again if you press the button again). It...

Another lens worth mentioning is the fixed focal length 200/2.8 G, which is very lightweight and turns into a superb 300/2.8 (or 300/4 depending on how you count) on an APS-C body.

@Dave Oddie, you are wrong, the A mount always had mechanical aperture linkage, and that has been a problem, as the spring-activated stopping down of the lenses limit high FPS speeds.

Minolta...

Every Minolta AF camera use the familiar paradigm of "half press the shutter button to lock focus" (focus hold).
The first series (5000/7000/9000) had a touch-sensitive shutter button, however, and...

Apple doesn't "make" their own chips. They design their own chips, which is a vast difference. The chip shortage is a production shortage. Apple has no chip production facilities (foundries, or...

Air's controller is MUCH larger. That's not much of a trouble however, and the larger one is more ergonomic (even for my tiny hands) and it's better with the "display" above the controller, and...

What he said. You can place them where angles otherwise are impossible. Also interesting shapes and shadows in the landscape are often revealed. I only use my drone for stills, often hovering for...

They are 16/64/256, so less useful than 4/8/16/32, but they are still included -- the article makes it sound like ND filters in the Fly More kit is something new and "extra", with the wordings "the...

The "old" Mavic Air 2 also includes a ND filter set in the Fly More kit -- at least in the EU -- so no difference here. It's an optional buy for the Pro 2 though.

The Mavic Air 2 is still pretty...

Doesn't look like a flare to me, rather a light leak, possibly due to a deteriorating seal in the zoom?
