@67gtonr - could be, it’s certainly not aimed at Nikon/Canon I think.

I’d put it more in the ‘bit of fun’ camp rather than anything seriously useful though......and that’s okay with me, to do...

@Badi to be fair, I don’t know how it compares to say a 5d4 on the AF front, but yes, compared to 5d2, subjectively, in terms of speed/responsiveness I’d say that the A7R3 is at least equally as...

@Holscren continued (ran out of chars.)

The 5D2 AF system was essentially carried over from the 20D, so was old to start with (I had & still have a 20D before I got the 5d2). To be honest, I...

@Holscren

I have both the Sigma MC11 & Metabones V adapters. I’ve only recently got the MC11 so have little experience with it yet. I am happy with the AF performance that the MB has given me with...

@Billy - I don’t have an issue with the responsiveness of my A7R3. I believe that models prior to A7R3 & A9 May have used something like android as the core to their OS and that is why prior models...

I agree.....and if it isn’t too late for our ‘wants’ to be taken on board, then it probably means that they are too late to get their product to market, as more migrate to the other mirrorless...

My biggest concern buying into Sony Mirrorless is if they are into Cameras forvthe long haul. I bought a Sony Vaio Laptop a few years back, a few years later, they closed their computer...

Agreed.

If Nik/Can were to come out with something that only really addressed 3 of those items, it would be dead on arrival, people would flock to Sony because they offer most of it...

All the options pretty much describe the current Sony Mirrorless, so I don’t think just picking 3 is sufficient for Nik/Can...their mirrorless are going to need most of those features...therefore...

Yeah, absolutely agree with you both.

One of the points I was trying to make there though is that a decent tripod, like a Gitzo, may cost £500 (most of mine I got in their sales for a lot...

I’ve bought, used and battled with cheap tripods when I was a lot younger.

Eventually, I bit the bullet and bought a Gitzo (after much research and handling various options).

Gitzo’s maybe...

I started astro Imaging in 2011, and one of the techniques used there is to take lots of images of the same subject, plus multiple sets of calibration images and then you use all the images to...

And the galactic institutes award for extreme cleverness goes to......Wlad

(Douglas Adams fans wil know what happens next ;-) )

Olifaunt, I do not understand your discussion here.

You seem to be implying that we only see due to the rapid movement of the eyes. I don’t think that is true.

The central part of the retina is...

It does look very like the Contax, although, I think it’s closer to the S2

One of the reasons I went for a full frame sensor was that having used a 35mm film camera for 30 odd years, when I got my first DSLR (canon 20D around its launch) with its APS-c sensor, I found it...

Tical - thank you, I couldn’t think of which model of Contax I was reminded of specifically, but yes, the S2 is a very good candidate!

Visually,from the front at least, this has a whiff of old Contax SLR’s about it, and that’s a good thing!

Didn’t think of that! ;-)

....GoPro should bottle ‘micro gravity’ and marketvit as an accessory alternative to the selfie stick!

Yes, I agree that the look of the Fuji’s and Leicas are far more appealing, like Jewellery almost.

I think, in the days of film, having a beautiful, tactile camera had more value to it, we kept...
