Hi I have 2 gitzos and yes I have a sony with 2.8 300mm and bigger lenses and over the last 4 years they have been faultless

Hi I use it on a monopod and turn off steady shot if hand held I use mode 1 steady shot for static shots and mode 2 for panning its a great lens for the cost, and I dont think its that heavy but I am used to the 300 2.8 on the 99ii or adaptor on the a series. I think you will really like this...

so sudden issues with my perpetual Licence on 2 laptops since they brought out capture 21 and I did not upgrade. Anyone else having issues

I have used these sites and you general need an empty memory card formatted with a single file on it

I always shoot manual, manual iso, manual shutter speed, manual f number, I am sure digital cameras have made us lazy, I am sure everyone can learn from using what sony gave us full control in manual. My daughter has an oly ome 1 mk2 and it drives us crazy because manual on that camera has auto...

I cannot see why you would want auto shutter speed based on movement, I only shoot in manual shutter speed, manual iso, manual f number its easy and helps you learn

hi quick reply I have the fe 200-600mm and am amazed at the results at the price point , I use it along with the a7iii and have understood thats not the body for you. I get the more pixels for cropping as I shoot a-mount a99ii 42megapixel and 300 2.8 which is great even with the 1.4...

hi thanks for replies b+q will not work as the screws are under 1.6 mm in gauge as I also race rc cars and have screw as small as 1.6 mm in gauge and they are all too big, so read on line could be as small as 1.2 mm or even 1mm in gauge so will try ebay etc

ok so recently noticed the lens hood on my sony 300 mm 2.8 lens hood was loose when in place so I was cleaning it today and checked the hood screws were tight only to find one loose and the other missing. so I need a replacement and have no idea of size or where to buy , any help as to size and...

I have a rx1r mk1 and its awesome at what it does, I did buy the evf hood and filters. A word of warning though these cameras are prone to dust getting into the lens and on the sensor and I have seen many with this issue, sony are well aware of this issue and I am told even they no longer repair...

thanks for quick replies and you are saying what I had thought from reading loads of forums and that is camera choice is not the best for wildlife, the reason the om 5 came about was due to price point and the fact it came with the 12-40 2.8 and questionable advise from local camera shop who I...

I have been using one of these for years now, very effective used with a light loupe

hi guys off on a tangent here but I was thinking of starting to print off some shots, and reading this I had not realised the p600 printers were suitable for the job, I was given a mp610 a while ago by my first born due to the fact that she had refilled it with cheap inks and messed it up. so if...

last weekend I decided at the last moment to grab my a7iii and adaptor and Minolta a-mount 400 mm 4.5, on arriving I realised I had picked up my lea3 adaptor instead of my lea4 that I needed for auto focus, so turned on focus peaking and set for 400 mm in camera stability and began shooting. I...
