A crappy lens on one format can be a good one on another. There are no award winning photos here :-P , but here are some shots from my tiny, beaten up Tokina made 17 mm Vivitar f/3.5 ... https://ww ...

I live in one of the wettest and windiest parts of Scotland and happily take my cameras (A7ii and A7Riii) anywhere, any time, in rain and snow (usually accompanied by gale force wind), in the ...

I now have 2 x A7x bodies, and like you, mostly have no usage preferences. When I bought an A7ii it was as a hobbyist but the hobby evolved into income generation so I bought a second body for ...

If you've been using cameras for years you'll surely be competent with manual focus, and an A7x body is perfect for that. The Minolta MD 35-70 blows the 28-70 kit lens out of the water. It's ...

If they were sensor dust spots, they'd be in your face on the original image and you wouldn't need to zoom in to see them. To the OP - I've had canvas that's been affected by oil spots yielding ...

They'd certainly be an idiot if they were paying $5,000 for a print.

Some of Craig's shots from Lofoten are linked below. Craig uses an A7Riii and, almost exclusively, the GM 16-35. That said, after seeing some of my shots with them, he has since bought a Vivitar ...

I know you from somewhere else ;-) How ya doing ? But yeah, I agree, all the zoomy stuff really misses the point. A good ski shot should be a good landscape photograph with a skier in it :-)

I googled for a discount code and paid about £80 IIRC. I thought that was reasonable value for a perpetual licence, working tethering, and 'sessioning' as well as 'cataloguing'. I'd used LR for ...

It'd be interesting to hear how you get on, but if it's for a product that people will pay for, and/or it's important to get it right for your own reputation, why not just make the print and take ...

I make my own profiles but I have tried canned ones. Dunno about iOS but with Windows you can just unzip the download and drop canned profiles into the relevant printer's folder. Apps that use ...

No worries. I love my 4800, it's cheap to run with 3rd party pigment inks and, after profiling every new stock I get hold of, its colours are fab :-) FWIW, I do quite a lot of printing onto odd ...

I think you're about right with needing a good few inches (I though it was more than 4-5) at roll end to avoid the paper out message that kills your print job. If you want to maximise the printed ...

As far as I can tell from Sony specs, the A7RII, A7II and A7III all use the same 2,359,296 dot OLED panel in their EVFs. The R uses some fancy Zeiss coating not used on the other two models. The ...

My reference points are A7II and A7RIII, and reading some of the A7III spin in comparison to the A7II makes me smile too. The A7RIII is incrementally better than the A7II in many respects, and ...

Lovely lens, and like the Minolta I use it a lot, but I noticed yesterday that my Super Takumar 50 1.4 has significantly more noticeable distortion than my Rokkor 50 1.4 does. I was doing some ...

Or as I said on the previous page, perhaps their rationale is interchangeability with a future larger sensor format ? Sony e-mount for APS-C and FF mirrorless, Canikon for FF and some, as yet ...

Although I can't envisage any e-mount lens limitations affecting me, I take your point, and agree that it's a very fair question to ask. And I'm curious too as to what new factor in full frame ...

They might be able to implement time-lapse too, an even more in-demand facility, and more usable on the new bodies with silent (no mechanical wear) shutter. Sony know we want these things already, ...

I always use MF for video, but I don't do much of it. I do sometimes do stills shoots alongside videographers, and none of them ever use AF.
