Hi, not an easy task to get a valid comparison result. If the lenses had a closer range coverage it would be easier. I'd rate the Sony as the more versatile lens for general use, while the Tamron's ...

Perhaps worth to add: everything on the lens and in the comunication with the cam is electronically; it's not only the point that you'd focus manually. Inspecting carefully the LAEA adaptors you'll ...

Well, depending on the beach as well on the available lens / FL positions sidewards from where the swimmers exit the water may be worth to check. Less crowed, promising look from the side on ...

Hi all, From my POV Tri is one of the most photogenic sports and I like it a lot to get up early to shoot from prior the swimming leg launch until sometimes late in the afternoon when the running ...

Hi, thanks for looking and glad you liked them. Well, for now I'm really glad I have photographed so extensively that day and with all that experimenting, especially on some panned bicycle shots ...

Hi, in 2019 I added an a6400 to my A-Mount gear built around an A99II. Since the idea was to check out E-Mount for me (handling but also AF performance) I got only the 18-135 as native E-Mount lens ...

Hi, great shots! Tri is one of the most photogenic sports and I like it a lot to get up early to shoot from prior the swimming leg launch until sometimes late in the afternoon when the running legs ...

No. A6400 here so no IBIS, OSS only. At least this makes it easier to notice the influence of the stabilization - which I greatly appreciate for static subject for both the viewfinder stabilization ...

Well, from a series of shooting hawks in flight, essentially overhead, so cam/lens pointed up into the sky the look of the photos taken with OSS "on" gave exactly THAT visual impression: well ...

Hi, from my POV and what statistics seem to prove is that there aren't relevant differences among brands. But perhaps worth to look at it from a different vantage point: - Who would like to shoot ...

Hi, as many others have already pointed out shorter exposure time is the way to go. Afterall, the 1/500s would be already close to the old 1/FL rule for the used 400mm FL - and this would have been ...

Well if that's your main area of interest you won't go wrong with going FF. Especially for landscape and shooting WA you'd have more ease to get wide angles of view. I also see advantages for ...

Hi, that was my first though too. But with the internal battery dead I think the cam wouldn't keep the date/hour but require to set it at every power on. Just stopping the count when the cam is ...

Hi, is it possible that you mixed up micro-AF-adjustment with individual calibration of a specific camera-lens combination? On some few occasions I've heared that buyers of one of the top notch ...

Perhaps you didn't read my post until the end. :-) Yes, I fully agree with the usage of the zebras and I'm using them almost constantly. But my point was that one certainly doesn't want to change ...

Hi, as Magnar pointed out, Zebras -or better their absence- are not a reliable indicator for the exposure level in RAW. When I'm reffering to the usage of zebras (at 100%) in MY photography and the ...

Sorry double post

Actually I was reffering to the coatings of the surfaces which point to the inner side of the cam. Good and effective coating there got much more important than in film times since the sensor ...
