70-200 SP LD Di? Pretty normal price. 70-200 SP USD? Incredibly good deal.

Adding fuel to the flames. Let's take a couple of 85 mm lenses in various versions with different adapters: - Canon 85/1.4 with Sigma MC-11 = Sony makes zero money: Full support - Sigma 85/1.4 ...

Sony can't ignore A mount users invested in A mount glass. There are some screw drive lenses that have not been superseded by a new version with SSM, or replaced. Two glaring examples are 85 ZA ...

Yes and no. I mean, I'd like to eventually replace my KM 17-35 UWA zoom with something as compact as that lens was, so maybe the new Tamron 17-35 would be the preferred choice. Failing that, I ...

@BlueBomberTurbo: Is there a Techart adapter for A mount lenses with screw drive? I don't think so, but maybe I missed something.

Martin, please read my post again. I literally never mentioned video. I understand those that want to use the camera for filming and they have legitimate reasons for being unhappy, but I'm in the ...

This is not about denigrating A mount. If anything, this is aimed at Sony. A99ii price sits square between A7Riii and A9. The only camera in Sony's lineup more expensive than A99ii is A9. A7Riii, ...

Ha, made you look! Sony, this is annoying. You announce firmware updates for A9, A7Riii and A7iii, but nothing for A99ii. A9 is going to be on version 6 in the summer, while A99ii is still in its ...

50 bids, wow. I assume 50 unique users, not just 50 bids by a couple of them. It mirrors my experience when I was trying to snag a 70-200 SSM lens, rather worn. It ended up north of 800€, I'm not ...

It's also hopelessly soft at anything beyond 120 mm, and struggles at 80-120 mm. Below 80 mm, it's generally fine, but it's much heavier and much more expensive than 85/2.8 SAM that works better ...

It's not about screw drive vs. ultrasonic motor. I used mine on A99ii. At 70 mm, it was acceptable. Slow, but not terribly so. At 200 mm it was dog slow. 80-200 HS is in a different league ...

One thing that's notably missing is the budget you can allocate for this purchase. There are a few factors you need to consider. One is high ISO noise. Another is limited depth of field at a wider ...

Godox brands their products differently in some markets. There's Adorama Flashpoint, for example, and in Poland, they're sold as Quadralite. By equivalent I mean: Q. Navigator X = Godox X1 Q. ...

The subject captures the question well, I think. I have an X1T S transmitter and an X1R S receiver and also a compatible flash (TT685 equivalent). I thought I could use the flash on the camera and ...

It's precisely for extra reach which is why you would benefit from a ~36 megapixel APS-c body. A FF camera would need an 80+ megapixel sensor to give you the same reach in crop mode. Alternatively, ...

Sony might release A77iii. Then they have two options: update A68 to basically A77ii spec, or relegate A77ii to A68 price level. The former would be expensive, the latter would mean Sony would ...

That's one year extra on top of your 24 months. 24 months is in fact typical for a lot of companies (Sony included), but there are some that give only 12 months, while others offer 5, 7, 10 years, ...

There is a special offer for an extended warranty (one year extra) offered for any camera purchased until end of January next year if you register your purchase online within 60 days from the ...

Sony SAL50F14 is soft wide open, but I don't think that bokeh looks nice. It has visible outlining and the background looks busy as the result (obviously, this will depend on the background, but ...

Yep, which is why they had to release the road map which companies in a strong position never do (for various reasons). Canon is in better shape, but not by much, while Sony appears to have ...
