Love the cows!

A brand-new 18-300 landed in my hands yesterday, and food was the first thing I pointed it at. Spiced sweet potato fries waiting for the oven, and my wife's amazing chicken nuggets underway in the ...

Me too. My mum used to make damson jam - she called it damson cheese. Brilliant on a slice of her home-made bread with lots of butter.

Thank you.

You sound like you might be an ideal candidate for an RX10iv :)

I have the 10-18. I traded in my 16/2.8 + UWA + Fisheye for it, and have used it more than any of those. It's a great physical match for my a6500, and, as others have suggested, it's an excellent ...

That's a very good point, which I should have mentioned. The Metabones adapter I referred to is purely manual, and does not provide either autofocus or aperture control.

Metabones makes one - you can find it at B&H, and probably many other places. I have the Metabones adapter for Minolta MD -> Sony E, which I use with my a6500. Solid, well-made piece of kit that ...

I love my 18-105. If I had to pick one lens to use with my a6500, this would be it. If I was starting from scratch again, though, it would be foolish not to consider the 18-135 - smaller and ...

I have an a6500, and a Sigma sd Quattro. I've also got the Sigma MC11 converter so I can use my Sigma SA mount lenses on the Sony. On a recent vacation, I was surprised to find I used them both ...

Exactly why I bought an RX100 iii to pair with my a6500.

There's just something about the sd Quattro that appeals to me immensely. The ergonomics don't bother me in the slightest - in fact, I appreciate the logic and simplicity behind them. Speed of ...

Visited a local bird show this afternoon. This, a couple of years ago, was where I took my newly acquired RX100iii for its first outing. I did rather better second time around :)

I’d only be interested in this as an upgrade for my RX100 III if it had the same lens as the the III, and the ND filter. I have no interest in the extended range lens. If anything happened to my ...

And at $49 a pop, you’re effectively back in a subscription model.

Clever.

I ran into something similar last weekend. Nothing happens after following the same sequence. I disconnected and powered off the camera, and went poking around in the download. Going into the ...

Thank you for posting this. I appreciate the time you took to do so. I believe I have a much better understanding of what Sigma is up to now, and, as a recent convert, will be following this story ...

I’ll be happy if it’s the same basic format as my a6500, has a front control wheel, takes a bigger battery, and incorporates all the recent AF advances (especially animal eye AF). Doesn’t mean I’ll ...

I’m very interested in this - I recently canceled an order for this particular Sigma lens because I couldn’t get a definitive answer about its compatibility with the MC-11 adapter from anywhere. ...

Taken on 6/30 - hope that's ok for this! a6500, 70-300G OSS
