Off The Mark

I have to admit I have never tried to use a diffierent database than the default one, so I don't know if I could be of help there. Hmm... in the new project, are you using the "use optimized media" ...

I saw a video on this recently. You will get better image quality shooting 120fps and slowing it down in post than you would get using the S and Q function.

Well... Sony cameras are a bit "different". You really have to set up the menu system well (customize it to your needs). There are only a handful of customization buttons. The a6500 has great ...

Can you afford Sony full frame lenses? They are quite expensive.

Generally, the words "Sony" and "Budget" do not occur in the same sentence. If it were me and I were trying to do a budget thing, I might try to get a used Nikon D7100 (around $600) and there are ...

Sigh... Have you ever wondered WHY they don't allow "professional" cameras in to concerts??? It is to prevent people like you from doing the things you say you are going to do (i.e., recording a ...

Whatever you can buy when you land, you should buy it there. Colorado does sell toiletries in case you weren't sure.

Thanks for the images. THINKING OUT LOUD: I know they won't AF on an LA-EA1, but would they transmit the exif data to the a6400 so that IBIS would work???

Once in a lifetime trip??? Seriously??? Sony 10-18 and Sony 18-135 and Some Tele lens.

Is your friend single???

Yes, but I am (still) thinking of getting an a7 III, and so the thought was the Minolta 20mm would go on that. Sigh... the eternal "should I move to full frame or not" debate.

Thanks so much for the video and the images. I really appreciate it. There seems to be a bit of vignetting in video... not necessarily a bad thing. More of a "character" thing I guess.

Thanks for the clarification. Would it be possible for you to post a photo "straight out of the can" for us? I would be interested in this lens for video, actually, so if you have a short video ...

I like the photos but there seems to be a LOT of vignetting in them. Is that something you added in post? Or is that the natural vignetting of that 20mm f/2.8 Minolta lens?

I think so. It is still beta for version 15, so be sure to back up often. Try it out and see what you think. It's free, so the only thing you have to lose is your time.

Thanks, and yes, I have two a6X00 cameras already. I would rather shoot RAW than jpg.

Not likely, no, but since it is FREE you can always try it out and see.

Nice shots. I would say that the only one that doesn't really fit in is the street shot with the two people walking down it. Maybe if you had used a REALLY long telephoto lens to compress the ...

You are a much better photographer than I, Gunga Din. No way I would have nailed those shots with manual focus, even with peaking and being able to punch in.

I like your (revised) plan.
