The old Sigma 150-500 OS HSM in A mount? I'd give it a pass. 70-400 is a sure-fire bet, but it's expensive, especially the second (white) version, Sony FE 100-400 used is not much more expensive. T ...

Oh, that's true. I thought it was essentially identical to LA-EA3 when used with SSM/SAM lenses, but it turns out there are differences. Some might be backported to LA-EA3, but the new aperture ...

This is actually extremely encouraging. I'm quite surprised that the LA-EA3 (I assume, since LA-EA4 is essentially an outdated A mount SLT system) provides better AF than native A mount. I'm ...

I understand that. Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking more of a contingency plan when I finally need to make a switch. Though I realize I would benefit more from a second body than from jumping to E ...

What do you mean that your copy never achieved infinity focus? Was it not possible to focus out to infinity or did it fail to autofocus on far away targets? I see that Tamron currently on sale for ...

Your nickname suggests you're Polish, but you mentioned buying from B&H and operate in dollars, so I guess even if you were, you moved to the US. $150 would be great. Unfortunately, the only Tamron ...

Let me tell you a story. When on vacation this year, I took all my gear (except studio lights), but I consciously decided to limit what I take on hikes to make room in my backpack. I usually took ...

Ha! Made you look. Summary: A mount is far from dead and lens prices are still too high, but moving to E mount has no benefit, especially if you're invested in A mount. On the other hand, investing ...

I'm in a similar situation. I'm looking for a 35/1.4. I had the G lens and I asked around for the Sigma Art. I certainly found out a couple of things. Sigma Art 35/1.4 is sharp and optically very ...

I want to point out two things:
1. Matte screens look worse than glossy. There's no way around it, some are worse, some are better, but they all suffer from worse sharpness definition because...

@dmanthree: I noticed color degradation in a Dell U2412M which lost some of red color saturation after nine years.

It wasn't a color-critical monitor by any means, but I'm pointing out that yes,...

That said, a lot of people expected that OLEDs would replace IPS panels in color-critical work, but then double-bonded IPS panels appeared and disrupted that market by offering 1,000,000:1...

@Bumblebees: What? OLED is absolutely perfect for color critical work, assuming you use a pure RGB panel.

Organic material degrades over time, which causes its light intensity to diminish, but if...

I had very severe burn-in on an old OLED phone, Samsung Wave 1. Status bar icon burn in was clearly visible even when browsing pictures. For some reason, the screen never went fully off, even black...

This way sir, onto the business laptop section.

I don't get it. What's the point getting a very high resolution screen with true blacks and wide gamut, only to limit it with anti-glare...

I'm aware why standard zooms are the size they are, though remember that the wide angle retrofocus handicap doesn't exist (or can be minimized) with mirrorless mounts since flange to image plane...

It was bigger and heavier than their contemporary 70-200/2.8, but the later OS version was heavier and thicker, though a tad (2 cm) shorter.

Pentax 60-250/4 would be an example of how small a lens...

Not really. You essentially get a very good 70-200/2.8 and a good 100-280/4, but not at once. Quality suffers and price is higher than a good zoom up to 300/4.

Consider 24-70/2.8 vs. 24-105/4...

Great that they experiment with new focal length ranges, but to be honest, I'd love it if some company made a high quality 70-300/4 lens.
I'm slowly considering moving to mirrorless and given the...

Isn't this an example of Osborne effect? The original is still widely available and they're not announcing that you will get a free upgrade if you purchase the gen 1 version now.
