I miss Kata bags. Apparently not made anymore. I still have two and use them regularly. Shame when a good product just fades out of the market!

Well done review as usual! The lens is particularly intriguing for A7Riv owners - cropping those 60mp files can eliminate the need for a teleconverter. Shooting in crop mode at 600mm produces an...

The price points are a little closer than implied here, for folks willing to shop and wait for a deal. On the Full Frame e-Mount thread last week shoppers were finding the a7Riv (new version) fur...

Wonderful series - I really like the long exposure of the Tulips and storm/lightning. Amazing the flowers weren't blurry with a 13 second exposure! You've put the focal ranges to good use with ...

Agree with you on the lack of advertising and firmware support - in fact, updated firmware is one form of advertising as it garners press attention in places like DPR. It was sad to see Sony ...

I enjoyed the nostalgic look back. I fell into A-mount as a high school photography student; my teacher had a Maxxum 9 so when I went shopping I gravitated to a Maxxum 3xi, used it for yearbook ...

This forum has been my "home" on DPReview for 10 years I guess. I'm now shooting e-Mount, but really I'm not finding as much on that forum to engage me either. I scroll through posts here every ...

I agree - the custom button to switch back and forth between FF and APS-C is awesome. For example - I set on one end of the soccer field, and shoot full frame with a 70-400 zoom when the action is ...

I have no regrets purchasing A7r IV on black Friday special, and it's currently sold new with a rebate that makes it the price I paid. (Around $2300 with EDU discount, BH Photo).  My sports ...

Hi Tom, I can tell you the 70-400 SSM G2 works quite well with the LA-EA5 on an A7Riv. And the fit is tight and secure, so other than the extra inch or so of length I hardly notice the difference. ...

I've had an a7Riv since November 2020. Never had occasion to wish for a higher res screen, and the pixel count on the rear LCD never factored into my buying decision. It's something I skimmed over...

Great captures from a classic lens!

Justin's Kingfisher prompted me to look at my recently edited birding shots. I'm not much of a birder, but enjoy the challenge of shooting whatever I can find nearby (which for me is the area just ...

I admire his commitment to the shot! It was interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I suggest those considering a prime lens and don't have lots of extra money lying around approach it this way: Try an inexpensive lens in the desired focal length first, to determine if that prime...

Placed 29^th in the challenge.

I'm not in the target market for these ultra high-end pro platform flagship bodies, but Canon's DSLR version still sells for $6500 USD. And is marketed as their reliable workhorse when speed and ...

Thanks Justin. The original wasn't far off a B&W, but of course there's a lot of red/brown in the bison coat. I have a small collection of large mammal close-ups I've done this way in B&W, working ...

Thanks for commenting. I'm no master, but always trying to learn a little more. YouTube and the forums here have great resources. Of course, the initial capture in the camera is the most important ...

Recent edit this week of a photo I may have previously shared from earlier this month, but probably in another forum. This one is a closer crop, with B&W conversion using SilverFX plugin in LR, ...
