Not really that heavy, the biggest is probably the A7R3 with the Sigma 135mm Art. I was looking at Vanguard Alta BH-100 or 250. Also at the Oben BC-139 and the Manfrotto 496: https://www.bhphotovid ...

I ended up going for the manfrotto specially since I got it for $150. Now just need a nice ARCA compatible head. Thanks!

So I want a good studio tripod (may take it with my for on location but usually I dont use tripods for portrait work outdoors). I was about to buy a new Slik 700 Pro for $80 after liking most of ...

Exactly. It was a simple funny joke and don't see why the harsh reaction as there nothing there that could be taken as an insult. Oh well

Somehow that is ALWAYS the excuse with any Canon release..it is "more than the specs" ...and some actually believe it too! lol

Still doesnt make it perfect or near perfect, just better than others but with other limitations as a trade off.

I know that for sure since I owned 4 copies of the Zeiss (plus 2 rented ones), the Sigma Art (MC-11) and the Canon 35mm 1.4 L ii. Love my cheap yet impressive Samyang!

The stabilization at least on Sony cameras is more than good enough for most people taking stills. Never had issues with the A7R2 nor 3. For video, nothing beats a Gimbal if I want really smooth ...

Only a gimbal is "perfect". The Olympus is surely better than the 6500 but perfect...not at all.

This reminds me of when someone used to out of the box terribly calibrated TVs (specially in the past), sees a calibrated TV and feels it looks to warm and do not like the colors. When you have ...

Exactly!

+100000

agree with you at this point. Hopefully it will improve but I find it odd that a less known program like PhotoNinja has this built in for an easy Xrite profile yet Capture One is still so behind ...

Indeed that is something I am considering going to Europe in a few months...take my A7R3 or the A6500 instead with the 12-24mm.... I dont have the 10-18 to compare them though.

I think not having the second curve option like Lumariver is what is creating this flat look indeed making us work harder during edit.

No, I did a PME  calibration only first. The DisplayCal installation came afterwards cause I was not happy with what I was seeing nor the weird bug with the validation so I decided to see what ...

Hello! Just wondering now that they have the option for ICC and using Colorchecker with CaptureOne, what is your experience with it. From my test it seems the image with the linear output takes me ...

Hello! So I own a BenQ PD3200u but I always wanted to try the SW320 because of hardware calibration and hopefully better panel. Unfortunately my experience so far is frustrating. First, I would ...

While I personally dont shoot in Crop mode for my work, there are some advantages for some people..getting the framing already from in camera in case they need fast delivery of photos. Some claim ...

The IQ hit was more than I expected. 4K lacked the wow detail I get from the A6300/6500 and iso noise was more prominent. And on top of that the video AF is a disaster. I wish I could have the ...
