Manual mode with Auto ISO 99.9% of the time.   I used to use Aperture Priority the most but in shooting birds and local wildlife (squirrels, etc.) I have found that manual works best for me in ...

I have all four:  the 200-600, 100-400, 135 f/1.8, and the 1.4x TC.    The day in late 2019 that I bought my A7R IV I bought the 90mm macro, the 50mm macro and the 135mm f/1.8.   The latter was a ...

My personal definition of a photograph is when I go out and shoot a photo of a goose or a duck, then come home and process the image to reflect the scene as I shot it:  maybe kick up the contrast ...

My absolute favorite lens is my 90mm f/2.8 macro, which was the first lens on my list the day I was in the camera shop buying my A7R IV, and it is the lens I have used the most since that day..... ...

In late December 2020 I purchased an M1 13" MBP with 1 TB SSD and 16 GB RAM, and it has worked flawlessly for me -- fast, cool, portable (although not as lightweight as my 12" MacBook which has ...

I use Kenko extension tubes once in a while with my Sony FF lenses.....  Back in my Nikon days I used Kenko and was always quite satisfied with them, so it was a no-brainer to stick with that ...

Back in late December when I purchased my 13" M1 MBP I definitely also included AppleCare as part of my overall expenditure.....   The machine may or may not leave the house all that frequently, ...

The day I went to the camera shop to buy my Sony A7R IV and some lenses, the lens which was at the top of the list was the 90mm f/2.8 macro.  That lens had been one after which I'd been lusting ...

In November 2020 when I went to the store to purchase my Sony A7R IV the lens at the top of my list was the 90mm f/2.8 macro.  It is my favorite, and definitely most-used lens.  It all but leaps ...

For me, a big reason for leaving Nikon after many years and going with Sony was that Sony had the native lenses I wanted, available immediately, and I wouldn't have to fool around with using old ...

In November of 2019 I made a move which I had been contemplating and mulling over for rather a long time: although I had been a long-time user of Nikon (30-some years) I traded in all my Nikon ...

For me creativity is a part of the process..... If I step out on my waterfront deck and shoot a few photos of geese and ducks swimming around on the lake, I don't consider that as being ...

Two favorite lenses here:  the 90mm f/2.8 that I purchased a year ago with my A7R IV and which for a long time never seemed to be off the camera, and the 100-400mm, which I purchased in early June ...

Well.....what I think is that you made (or are considering)  the switch from Nikon to (in reality) Sigma rather than to Sony, which is rather weird in my opinion.....    Why buy a Sony body and ...

I was a Nikon user for many years and had a lot of lenses, went through various bodies over time, etc., etc. In November 2019 I made the switch from Nikon to Sony, trading in all my Nikon F-mount ...

Don't you people know that you're not supposed to shake your lenses?  They're not baby rattles!

I have the Wimberley foot on both my 100-400mm and 200-600 lenses;  no problems here (at least so far;  I've only had them a few months).   The 200-600mm I use on the tripod with the Wimberley II ...

Back in January 2020 I bought the 200-600mm, and love it....except that it really is too heavy for me, a petite woman of "a certain age" to go walking around with for any amount of time.  In June ...

I am sure that the lenses that Nikon has made available for its Z system are very nice....but I had specific wants and needs and none of the lenses I wanted and needed were available at the time I ...
