Yeh I have shot Graham lots of times, known him for a few years - and done a few of their events. Images tend to stay on my computer as I’m not as confident with the studio stuff over my sports and wildlife. But enjoy the learning. Getting more into learning the lighting. I want to get more into...

Just recovering from my day at the Photo Show. I was a little reluctant to travel south and thought about a boycott with the move away from Brum. But that’s chewing my nose off as there was lots I wanted to see and do. Also used as a test to see if I can get into London cheaper with the family...

I had the same 1st world issue and went for the A7CR as a 2nd body to my A1. Ran it for a month or so then sold it on. I didn’t like the EVF, quality or actual eye cup. I don’t know why Sony fix this and don’t allow for an after market or larger eye cup to be fitted. I also missed a joy...

Thanks - I did Google the address of the Uk reseller and it’s a house on a private estate - thought was a bit odd: What was delivery time from .com?

Wondered where it was shipped from and if there was possibility of getting stung with VAT and handling charges. .com is free shipping but talks about US/EU warehouse and some items shipped from China. Doesn’t say anything about tax included in the sale.

What’s the website you ordered from Viltox Uk have them listed for £145 but I can’t get any of the discount codes to work.

I’m going to do mine over the weekend. I would rather it brick now whilst under warranty!!

What we don’t know is which customers Sony say they are listening to. Is this consumer or pro - and what’s the mechanism for capturing the feedback to prioritise. This upgrade may have been the top of a customer list. Maybe pre-capture was way down the customers they focussed on. I’d use it very...

This is from the Sony site.

My take on the firmware. Sony have provided what they promised at the release of the a9iii and have added more. Lots are looking over the fence at other brands and asking for things that have never been promised on the A1. It looks like they have changed the software significantly - and...

I went Saturday. The 300mm “show deal” was that it was available at the show!! No money off it. Had a play - it’s really light and compact. Defo my next big purchase.

Nice choice. Wish I’d thought of that.

If you like the A6400 then I would give another shout for the A7C series. A7Cii probably suit for the use you are looking for. Fuji combo you are looking at is only approx 100g lighter than the A7Cii & 50mm f1.4 GM. I used the A7CR and 50mm f1.4 at a shoot Wednesday with the wrist strap and...

I think one or two of did say now we are FF we wouldn’t drop back. I guess you have to see for yourself. I struggled with APSC. Not afraid to say I’m a FF snob. Looking back to my Olly days I have some cracking images. But I look at the files in comparison and the detail simply isn’t there...

“Problem with the images”?
