One of the best primes that you can use both on Canon and Sony is the EF 100 F2 USM, which doesn't have the "L" moniker only because of the build quality (which is not bad but not up to L ...

Very close were I have born and raised. Actually climbed one of those :) Amazing places indeed!

Very interesting tests thank you, for me 200-600+1.4xTC is plenty sharp where it matters (central part of the frame) and I know that the limiting factor for ultra fine details is my A9 rather than ...

Wow, three full moths with no actual guarantee of delivery seems quite a long time to me to wait.. Don't discuss the quality of the camera itself, but seems it's getting increasingly difficult to ...

I'm using the Peak Design anchors with the matching strap no problem with my 200-600. The edges of the lens' attachments do not feel sharper than other super tele lenses' ones that I've tried the ...

I can tell that the Tamron 70-180 F2.8 is a VERY good lens for the price. It's plasticky but doesn't feel cheap at all, the mount is all metal and there is no barrel wobble nor zoom creep to talk ...

Indeed, just snatched a 200 F2 and a 300 2.8 II for very good prices and couldn't be happier, they are still so good that I don't think will crave for a RF lens for a pretty long time.. :D

The Canon 80D+400 F5.6 in my opinion could still the best bang for the bang you can get nowadays in the Canon camp. The Canon 80D is still a pretty capable and feature-rich camera, that can be ...

Especially when now the two "top" Big RF Whites are just EF versions with a shiny (literally) adapters just slapped in their as*es :D

Hi, guess that shipping all the way to Australia such a massive lens will cost more that the lens itself.. :D But yeah, I can confirm that optically is still a very fine lens, if you don't mind the ...

Take a look at Adorama, they have quite a bit of 300s 2.8 IS IIs at pretty decent prices, just snatched one and even if it was a bit beaten up externally, glass is pristine and it works perfectly. ...

At least for me, 20mm on the long end are basically undistinguishable, unless you really put pics side by side and look pretty hard. On the other side, having a 70-180 F2.8 that you can basically ...

Paws are softer because they are already out of the optimal focus plane, like the nose. Look at the fur right under the ear zone and you will see that is quite sharp and detailed (even if some ...

Hi, interesting feedback of course, just waiting for an used 300 2.8 II myself to substitute my 400 2.8 IS vI which is just too heavy for me to carry around, my back is clearly giving me signals ...

Of course if someone wants full 200mm the Tamron is not so won't do it, on the other side, to whom is worried about the weight/absence of a collar I can tell that the Tamron has a full metal mount ...

20mm at the long end? really? with current Hi-MP cameras around? I think it will be basically indistinguishable even on the "low-res" 24MP bodies, but of course everyone has his/her own needs :) P. ...

My lens of choice for portraiture is an adapted Canon 200 F2, the only lens in Sonyland that I think could yield a similar look is the GM 135 F1.8, so that would be my choice if I had to stick to ...

To tell the truth, the Tamron is so good (and portable) for the use I make of it, that Sigma has long fallen off interest for me. Super glad I've decided already months ago to stop waiting for that..

I understand of course, but if the vII is too expensive new, guess the best option for the OP is to search for a good used copy . The vI is a good venerable lens, but the vII is better in every ...

Just FYI, the Canon 200 F2 works pretty well adapted via MC-11, unless you plan to to sports of course (which can well be, considering the lens' signature speed). But if you'd like more for ...
