I like the Donald bird... and those spots look really bad - makes the lens almost unusable. Regarding the Sony, I'm quite happy with it. I originally got it for my manual-focus Nikon lenses and use ...

I'm bringing up this old thread again in preparation for the eclipse on July 27. Was looking up my notes from 2015 and remembered that I had shared them here - may be useful for others who get the ...

I think that it was a good decision by your lens to wait for a jet that matches the bird's colours, with the yellow and grey :-) The spots look like dirt on the sensor... something I have never ...

This is a great capture, very cool!!!

I currently use Sony A7RII and Nikon 1 (V3 and J5), which I will continue to use until they break. I might get one of the next iterations of the Sony A6x00 or the Nikon mirrorless, should it ever ...

This post is about the J5 dilemma: best N1 sensor but no viewfinder. The J5 sensor is indeed better than the V3 sensor, especially in darker lighting condition. But lacking an accessory port, ...

My english is not good enough either so that I have to invent my own words... hen-icane... wouldn't have worked with rooster. My silly Sunday-morning creativity... sorry for the confusion.

Or how about "the eye of the hennicane"... Great image, I like stuff like that!

I don't find the question stupid - I'm trying to answer it to myself everytime when going for a walk. Mostly grabbing a prime lens, sometimes a zoom, and it helps a lot with cutting down on weight ...

With the A7RII/III, I'd go with the Voigtländer 40/1.2 because it allows for shallow depth of field and for a lot of cropping leeway. I'd find a slow zoom like the 24-105/4 too limiting.

... though it has its limitations. Namely the buffer size is rather limited compared to the V3. I have tried my luck with the moon recently, handheld, shooting a few bursts to increase the chances ...

Back in April, I was able to get a used "naked" J5 from ebay very cheaply (no lens, no charger, no cables etc. were included). The plan was to keep the 70-300 CX on the V3 with the viewfinder, and ...

I would have taken 2 or 3 steps forward onto the street after checking the traffic. This would have eliminated the traffic lights on the left and right. Also, turning the camera slightly to the ...

For me, it's the Voigtländer 40/1.2 - the combination of size, bokeh, sharpness, flare resistance, rendering, and handling is unique. You can shoot environmental portraits at f1.2 in broad ...

I'd go with #1, because of: a) better separation into the direction he is walking to, and b) the people in the background are more homogenous (almost all are looking with anticipation into the ...

Thanks Paul! I have never been to Shanghai, missed it during an earlier tour through China, but I think I'll have to go there... fascinating place. Cheers, Holger

Hi Sakura1, this city looks somewhat familiar to me - could you please tell me where this is? Not sure, but my guess is Wuhan in China? Also enjoyed the other images in your post, thanks for sharing. ...
