I take my fair share of indoor photos both at home and (before lockdown) at family and friends' places. I've always found it very difficult to balance the indoor light (particularly CFL) with the outdoor light streaming in from windows. Are there any ways to deal with this? Separately, are...

In general, what's a good method to find places to take the camera out for a walk? I'm doing some googling and looking on dedicated nature trail websites but not coming up with much useful info (it's mostly aimed at dog walkers and general ramblers). Also, any recommendations for places around...

The difficulty is when they instantly re-list which happened in 2 of the instances here. Very similar to my experience and sentiment.

>1000 feedback over the past 14 years. No negative or neutral. The lenses - some were best offers close to the asking price, and one was on auction but with multiple bids. I contacted eBay and it seems there's a special link to leave feedback in this case, but it can still be left. Is it...

The bokeh scare?

Which foot did you get?

Would others concur on the A7ii AF? It's well suited to old manual lenses. Do you think this will come to the A7iii?
