As it's quiet on here a couple of photos from me testing the cropping ability of the A7RV and the 70-350mm lens when a red kite flew by. Also a photo of my best friend Hugo. He is coming up to 14 years old in a month or so and is camera shy generally. I should have been better with more...

Perhaps have a try with the newer versions in Sony mount if budget allows. I currently have the 15mm f4.5 and 28mm f2 and as I'm new to Sony these are what I have gone with initially. On my Nikon Z8 & ZF I had the 35mm & 50mm f2 APO versions and I had no problems on the Z8 45MP sensor with...

Thanks for the reply. On checking my M4 Pro Macbook has read speeds of 250Mbs I believe, so I could possibly see a big difference with a better reader and cards. I will see how things pan out with my wildlife photography and buy new if required. I bought a TB5 enclosure for my Mac and the...

Luckily for me or not.:( When I step out of my back door my neighbour has built a kitchen extension to the side of my house and I have a nice large wall for checking decentering and corner performance.I also use my long run of fencing we have along with my garden tree branches for CA etc..

I'm more than pleased with the lens for the limited use I will mount it on my camera. When I had my Z cameras I had two 50mm lenses and they were very seldom used. I did like the Voigtlander 50mm APO though. Hopefully you maybe be able to help or @snerkler. As your both Mac users IIRC.With...

I was hoping to try the 28mm lens out properly yesterday, on a trip down to Mumbles. Unfortunately I have sprained my wrist and my arthritis is playing up in my thumb and I didn't feel like holding the camera.

Clare would kill me if she knew I was posting photos of her at work and in her lounging clothes. Just a couple of grab shots with the recently purchased 55mm lens. Also, I don't think I have posted any photos taken with my A7R5. I like to test a lens for sharpness when I can clearly make out a...

I had the Sport version for Tripod use and in the end I bit the bullet and bought the Z 180-600mm. I also had the 400mm f4.5 and 1.4TC and if you can stretch the budget that's the route I would take. The only F mount lens I found that really shone with the FTZii was my Sigma ART 24-35mm f2.

I can't remember what the exact recall was, but I sent my D750 for UK repair under the callback scheme for the D750 and the camera was bought from Panamoz. This was a good few years back but I believe Nikon will still honour the recall as it's a world wide situation. I suppose there's one way to...

I bought one at the end of February out of the first stock to hit the shelves. I haven't been concerned by any Vignetting when running the files through LR. The design is different to the 15mm Voigtlander I currently own and the 35mm & 50mm I owned when I had my Nikon Z cameras.

Apologies for the late replies but I have been unable to log onto this website since Sunday due to not receiving verification codes or they were coming too late and they were timing out. Reset my password so hopefully I will be okay now. I have also notified Admin. I decided to return the Sammy...

Thanks for the reply. How would you update the lens firmware as there's no USB port on the lens?

I had a play with the Samy yesterday using the A7R5 and the lens is faulty it seems. In AFC the lens is continually struggling or not focussing at all, just hunting. Tried AFS and AFA and it would focus, but very slow and this was on a wide variety of subjects and contrasts. I cleaned the...

I recently purchased the S1Rii after previously owning the original version. I returned the camera as the blackout from the EVF wasn't much better over the MK1, it's really noticeable compared to the Z8. I found the S1Rii files excellent and sharp using the 24-105mm kit lens . Also, with the kit...

Very nice a bird I have never had the opportunity to see, but one on my wish list to photograph. I have been very pleased with the Sony 70-350mm and the 200-600mm lens. I find the 200-600mm seems to balance and feels lighter than the Z 180-600mm and the Sigma 500mm is very light and possibly...
