I sent a private email first - and haven't gotten a response...  maybe they don't believe me - the first response of inexperienced developers... The initial blunt force notification itself ...

I have been a user on dpreview for many - many years. Early on I had an account under one email - then because of a problem with the site I had to reset up my account which I did under a more ...

I'd use the metabones, but I wouldn't expect much success with longer focal lengths from the 6000 - perhaps the 6300.   Certainly it works with the metabones up to about 250mm, then longer becomes ...

Those are some great shots - happy the Canon combo worked out for you.   I am still waiting to see if the 6300 might do as well - but somewhat doubt it, as I suspect that the focusing speed and ...

I have one too, but really never bothered to mount the 100-400 on it..

Thanks Steve Sounds like we have similar setups.  still thinking about that 6300 and let you know if I get a chance to try it out.  For now waiting for the canon 200-600.

Thanks Brian Will try to be there...  never hear of "Magic Box at the Reef" need to google that.

Its almost as I can see the faint lettering on the lens - my guess is internal reflection off the filter and objective. Also the colors are suggestive of internal reflection.  As already ...

Actually I think I bought my 7DII for something around $1200 - very close to what the 6300 cost.  Certainly grey market new and back door US retailers like greentoe have them available near this ...

No - Still thinking about it, but I will rent one first , and they're not out in the local rentals yet...  For me the Canon 7DII still is my preferred wildlife and sports camera and I decided ...

Same here - but only if it has optics to match the sensor.  I don't want big lenses, I have the canon ones for that, I want smallish high IQ lenses and the one I would purchase would be a24-105 f4 ...

I usually buy from B&H - generally that would be domestic - and while I might stray from that decision with other manufacturers, Sony seems to have an inconsistent QC - so you need somewhere with ...

Possible there is some sample variation - also there may an exaggeration of the corners when they are not in focus which adds to the smeared look.

I noted that some of the other testers indicated that zooming in a bit from 24 cleaned up the corners significantly. I have found that the corners at 24 are really especially ugly - not soft - more ...

Nice shots... I notice that the widest shot here is 29mm - are you deliberately zooming in a touch to avoid the corner issues at 24?

The 24-70 is a generally good lens and sharp in centerfield, however most of the complaints are about the corners, particularly at 24 - and at 24 they don't cleanup very much as you stop down.

With the corners clipped a bit on the a6000 - the FE 28 is a nice, reasonable bright near normal lens.  I found I was also a bit surprised by the 21 adapter - better than expected and also you ...

I have the same kit - but recently also picked up the 28 for walk arounds.  The 16-35 is one of my favorites.  It does great starbursts and not in any way a disappointment compared to the Canon ...

I would agree with this one - tread lightly and avoid lens fever (wishing I had)... especially with the bigger glass. You might eventually realize you would want the 21 loxia for the best wide ...

For the A6000 - the best all arounder is the Fe 28 - also consider the inexpensive and light weight 21 adapter for it.  I have these on my A7r2 when I need wide for light weight walk around.  for ...
