On the Canon  I could use the wide continuous focus.  If there was a flying bird in the frame it nearly always got it.  Much faster than my experience with any of the Sony cameras I've owned.  ...

I did note that Medium Flexible Spot worked a bit better at the preserve this morning.  The catch is that you have to get the bird into the spot, sometimes a challenge when they are close and ...

Great shots.  Can you share your typical settings. FWIW - I went out to the preserve this morning and did a little better with the medium flexible spot than I had done with wide.

Confused by your response - I did say FE not EF lens. Maybe I should have said GM.

I upgraded from the A7R2 to the A7R3 and I can say with some frustration that with the FE 100-400 I still cannot get focus locked fast enough to catch many BIF nor can I achieve focus with a shot ...

I thought the same article also said something about the stripes almost never seen with the 24-105

I have both and only use the 90 for macro work.  Mine is super sharp in the center, not necessarily so in the corners.  Focus is a bit slow. But a well designed macro lens Unless you do a fair ...

The EFSC on the A7R3 starts to shade the image at the top starting at around 1/1000th and - surprisingly pronounced at 1/2000  and faster. I saw this in lens tests on my FE 85 1.8 . Personally I am ...

I've have this lens and often shoot birds - and have had some great super sharp shots and so-so ones. Remember, at 5.6 the sharp depth of field is very narrow - sometimes only the wing is truly ...

I don't move the door from the camera to the plate. With the A7R3 I rarely need to change the battery in the field. In southern California when it does rain we usually hide under our beds until ...

Is it possible that the 55 1.8 focuses wide open and stops down to shoot - in which case there could be focus shift.  I've read that some of the fashion people using strobes are having a problem ...

I use the Sony A7R2 case. There a little stretch required on the first few installations but surprisingly it works pretty well and looks good. You do need to make a small modification to the ...

I've seen some of this behavior with my 100-400 and A7R3 and was concerned that somehow it thought it had achieved focus when it was still a near miss. One thing I have been looking at is the Focus ...

Thanks - Everyone!!   I had seen advertised in ebay a sony A7 / A7R cable clamp but doubted there could be one as there is no obvious place for it to screw into on the A7R

MY son is starting to use my old A7R (which is still in mint condition) , but I can't remember if it came with a cable clamp like the A7R2 and A7R3.  I cant find a reference to it in the online manual

As I see that quite a few people here are into lens testing, I wanted to share my experience with doing the zeiss target testing of the corners with a Sony 85 1.8. Doing wall tests I saw at 1.8 ...

Yes - it was in my spam folder for some reason.... Thanks

OK I downloaded and printed the 100 spoke chart - it was an ordeal - $67 for the C paper, and I needed a Black cartridge - another $65.  First time I printed this big and had paper jamming issues ...

As I and others otherwise posted - other than a 35 1.8  or 2.0 - what I'd like to see is Sony do a Mark II on a number of existing lenses. 1. A sharp and compact 24-70 F4 that isn't total mush in ...

I have an a6500 which I purchased to use with my 100-400 when the A7R2 was not cutting it for focus acquisition.  Now that i have the A7R3 I am finding that I prefer to use that - as it seems to ...
