    Anyone know whether the Zhihun Weebil S actually does have full functionality on either the A9 or A7R4 with this hack? (I say hack, it's really just a settings change and use of particular lead). According to Zihun, it doesn't allow shutter speed / aperture adjustment etc with Sony cameras...

    Thanks both. Yes, was looking at sample images and some reviews and actually quite shocked at how some of the images presented here are. The distortion is untrue in some of them, and most aren't sharp at all: https://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/samyang_af_14mm_f2_8_fe_review/sample_images

    Need a handheld stabilising gimbal. Any thoughts on best bang for buck in the £200~£300 range. Been reading reviews etc, but not something I've used before so a bit unsure about what I need. Will be used mainly for event work, short action promo vids and interviews on the move. Any thoughts welcome.

    Right here comes my willy waving :wave: : I have to say I'm delighted with my A9/R4 combo. I've yet to shoot fast-moving people - my main interest - so I'm reaching for the R4 first most days. Still delighted that, if needed, severe crops can produce very usable images. Right, and now here's a...

    Nice shot. And managed to get rid of the dust bunny with that crop too! :coat:

    Yes, been reading reviews etc. Probably need to buy a used copy and experiment before making up my mind. Thanks both.

    Thanks for that. I've bolded the bit that worries me most, as it might get used a couple of times a year with a HiLite background when space is severely restricted.

    Anyone have the 35mm f/1.8 - is it a keeper? Having looked at the 400 pics I've taken on the wide end of the 24-105, I think a 35mm might suit my needs better, The advantages in aperture, size, and weight are appealing.

    It's clear that you love them when a whole shelf in the garage is dedicated to them.

    I think this is how I feel about it too, although that's based on only a few uses and with limited access to alternatives (yet). Although I found myself reaching for it more often than the 70-200 last night when I had both cameras round my neck, the images produced by the longer lens were - not...

    Got a refund from e-infinity. At least that bit was fast, although I'll never trust or use them again.
