Some of mine Brenizer method snaps with Sony a7

I had Sony A7 with good old legendary glass, now switched to A6300 with crop lenses and I'm better

It's very important how stable you can hold the camera, also the stability of your own posture. The best you can do is testing by yourself on Shutter Priority.

I don't think that RAW is necessary for most of the photo genres, you do know that JPEG also can be tweaked a little bit without a hit in the quality, right? For me specially, I shoot RAW only on very large dynamic range scenes, where push/pull on shadows and highlights is needed.

Having some spare time. Removed the "IR-block" and "Sensor Clean" glass filters from the X-trans sensor. Compared to non-modified Fujifilm X-A1, the "Full Spectrum" X-M1 gathers about ~1.5 stops more light in the same light conditions (without IR or UV filter on lens). Posting this just to...

No, I didn't convert it to full spectrum, but it's easy to do, just need to have replacement filter. Or just remove the IR filter from the sensor completely. I'm trying to convert Fujifilm X to IR, but there is more work to do for the disassembly + RE.

The shutter assembly was £120 brand new from Sony

Is this OK ?

Just to share my personal experience with Sony A7 water damaged, had to disassembly all the way down to sensor and stuff, to get to the shutter, wich was defected. Everything works good after replacement.

Olympus cameras have mechanical spring on the mount, it is one pin. If its not "free" '(have to be NOT pressed), camera will not start the sensor, which results in blank black screen. That happens when the lens is not tight (or too tight/loosen bayonet). On the lens there is a hole, where the...

You can try Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 at all range. There are two models (as I know) - one with and one without stabilization. The one without is more sharper and compact. But the stabilazed version will let you shoot at 1/10s in night by hand. Both are very nice priced for their performance.

Congrats, nice one for travel camera! You can shoot RAW files with Canon SX240HS, just type "CHDK SX240" in Google. I had experience with SX270HS, very nice results from RAW.

I have the same problem on Windows, and I end up it's about the compatibility of the Photoshop/ACR about the camera. I mean, I have no problem with "Edit in Photoshop CC", when I'm working on my Nikon Coolpix A RAW files in Lightroom (latest version here), but when I try this with my Fuji X-T1...

You will! Great lens, lightstrong F2, nice optics. Share some photos whit it.

If i plan to make B/W photos, I switch the camera to B/W profile, but also save the RAW files of the images. I like to see directly in camera viewfinder what would be like the photo, helps for composition by eliminating the color "factor". But when comes to editting, I work with the RAW file and...
