Either EV adjustment or spot metering will work fine. When shooting in extreme DR situations, maximize the dynamic range of you files by shooting RAW and shooting at the lowest ISO practical. The ...

I'd go with the 24-105mm instead, but think that the 100-400mm is incredibly versatile as a wildlife and macro lens, particularly when mated with the excellent FE 1.4x teleconverter. You don't ...

I'm pretty darn happy with my FE 2.0x: ...and my computer isn't clogged up with 120MB RAW files.

The difference on the Sony side is similar, but the price differential is not near so huge.

IF, big IF, you get the shot! Cropping an OOF shot is worthless. The a7-series bodies can't match the a9, yet. You'll have both missed shots and OOF shots. Also, rolling shutter distortion is a ...

Thanks Bob, but I don't think that it'll be satisfactory for most BIF. The a7-series doesn't cut it for all BIF, particularly like a hummingbird darting in and out of flowers.

Yeah, and we don't even know the price! If it's higher than the $3500 range, then I'd say it's a fail. If it's $4,500, then it better have 20-fps, exceptional AF and no rolling shutter distortion. ...

Sorry for the delay. Well answered, but I'll add that it's just not an issue, unless you want to do something like go from still to video. Even when totally full, you can do around 1-fps. So, it ...

Thanks. I should probably put the to use, after being a member from day-one. I'm also a former, very satisfied CPS member. This is good to read. Those stupid eye-piece cups. I haven't broken one ...

Sorry, but I had a response prepared and didn't hit Post and closed my browser. I'll get to it in a few hours. I've sot some more to say.

This is a constantly moving target, as Sony issues firmware updates and adapter makers struggle to catch up. The only thing for certain is that those wonderful adapted lenses won't work as well as ...

When I shoot ANY DSLR these days, including the 1DX III, it seems archaic. I'm glad to see Canon moving fully into the 21st Century, with the R5.

The useful information in an EVF far exceeds any OVF. In particular, besides the histogram, you actually see your exposure value and the resultant image. Never again will you over or under expose ...

Wait on the R5. If Canon had that in 2017, I probably would not have switched to Sony. You'll get the latest generation Canon sensor and access to their great new R-series lenses, plus all the old ...

Yes, worth a try. How bad does it look in the images? If easily repaired, you might decide to live with it.

Early on, I tried working with adapted Canon lenses. I got some great shots, but the keeper rate was horrific. Moving to a native Sony lens will put your keeper rate to the moon and back.

Stunning! Thanks for producing and sharing.

I own the battery grip and have shot a few thousand shots with it, but I disagree with all of these "factoids" except that "...it holds an extra battery." I've got an extra battery in my pocket, ...

When you have OSS, I'd suggest using it. It doesn't put too much strain on the battery and greatly improves stability.
