I am using the Eyelead gel stick, it likes yours is orange, which denotes that it is for the Sony sensor. The peal away sticky paper that you get with the kit is still sticky after 2 years+ and ...

I didn't see a complaint, personally I would go with the 20, by going APSC you save a lot of post ctopping, and the 'cropped ' images from the 7riv are amazing.

I have the A7riv and have used the A9, for wildlife it has to be the A9, faster in every way, and with an uninterrupted view of the subject. With the 100-400 you will able to get some great images.

I don't understand why you would return it to the store, how were they involved?

Something that has not been mention about the Sony Bluetooth remote is that you can focus with it. This is great for Macro work. GAS - Get Another Sony

I think I would like the ability to close the shutter, when changing lene's, to at least help with minimising dust on the sensor

Slightly different approach, I opted for the Neewer automatic extension tube set, which gives you a 10mm + 16mm rings totalling 26 if combined

I had a similar situation with a Sigma 50-500, I simply contacted my house insurance company, they assessed that repairing was beyond its value and replaced it.

They could probably all do with a bit more attention, but for now I'm happy. Photographing the eggs, and only noticed the Nymph when post processing

And yet CamerWorld will not let you handle a new camera/lens until you pay for it, I was told that if I wanted to handle the Sony A6400 I could go to Jessops, a few shops away, I did - and never ...

I am using the RMT-P1BT it works just fine, I particularly like the ability to manual focus the camera without actually touching it - great for focus stacking macro images.

Simply reject it as not being defective.

I find that Recuva does a good job

A great deal has been made, by some, regarding dust on the sensor on all of the A7/9 range. I was wondering if the new update is having a positive effect on this issue?

So you would prefer to do nothing, and live in your pit of despair. Simple answer - don't enter

No, that's the wrong thing to do, you will turning off the very essence of live view. The problem lies with the settings of the monitor and evf, both of these can be adjusted from the tool box ...
