Hi all, I currently have a Samyang 18mm f2.8, and a Tamron 28-200mm for my Sony A7iii. I'm just wondering if it would be worth changing the Samyang out for a wide angle zoom. The obvious choice is the Tamron 17-28mm f2.8, as I definitely can't afford a Sony 16-35 GM. Just thought I'd try to get...

Thanks for the comments everyone. As much as I would love to save up for the Sony, I just can't justify to myself spending the money. I'm much more likely to be using the 28-200, so the 20mm would just be an occasional use for landscape/astro. Wex also made the choice much easier with the Tokina...

Thanks for the feedback so far. I'd be interested to hear from any other that may have used any of the lenses listed. The Sony 20mm does look great, but I'm not sure I can warrant spending £700 on it! The results from the Tamron zoom look pretty decent considering it's a zoom lens!

Bumping up this thread for a question. I purchased the 28-200 Tamron, which I've now used in anger, and it is definitely replacing the 28-75. It just covers my needs better - and for my needs the images it produces are excellent! That leaves me needing a wide angle/astro lens. I've been reading...

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I had read something somewhere about focus on the 18mm being difficult, but other people don't seem to have experienced the issue? There doesn't seem to be too much available on the Samyang 24mm just yet!

Thanks Alan. The 20mm sits nicely in the middle ground and would probably be the sweet spot of everything, but it's just pretty far out of budget to be honest! I had discounted the the 24mm due to the distortion really - although the 24mm Samyang appears to have performance more like the 24mm G...

Hi all. I haven't posted here in a long time! I have been using a Sony RX100m2 for years, and it's done me well! However, I've always wanted one of the Sony A7 series, and bit the bullet last week and bought an A7iii, which came with a Tamron 28-75 f2.8. Around 98% of my photography is nature...

First trip out with the RX100II - Wengen in Switzerland!

True, but even so, they were able to be identify themselves. My post doesn't contain any photos :p. I understand it's a touchy subject, and don't wish to tread on toes. As I said, that was my opinion. Chris:jimlad:

I just cannot understand all the fuss this caused. If I posted an image containing people - who then requested the image be removed for whatever reason - I would oblige without question. At the end of the day, I don't want to make people unhappy or distressed for whatever reason, and as far as...

Great thanks! I got it just before Christmas, which was good. Did not need to pay tax/duty (or at least not yet!), so DigitalRev have delivered on their promises. I feel like I got a bargain! It's a great camera, but I've not yet had a chance to try it out. There are alot of menu options to get...

I've just purchased the RX100 Mii from DigitalRev. I wasn't really happy about spending the money, but I just couldn't resist! (Also, DigitalRev have it at a VERY good price!) It's currently on it's way from Hong Kong. I'm just wondering if it's going to be a more useful, and better performer...

Hi all, I need a new compact. I currently have a Lumix TZ-7 which is looking a bit old now, and a Nikon d3100. I've decided it's about time to upgrade the TZ-7 and get a better compact. So, what do I want from the new camera? Image quality is a biggie. Zoom would be nice, but as I generally...

Dave, I've got LR5. Chris
