anyone recommend a decent hand strap for the A7? not keen on neck straps!

Peak design clutch

I have just ordered the Sony battery grip for my A7II, thought I would take advantage of the £30 cash back offer at the moment, I was watching a Youtube video by John Sison
and in it he states that the grip will not work with 3rd party batteries, is this true? seems strange when the camera itself works fine with the 3rd party batteries I have.

I looked at getting the Meike grip. I can't justify Sony prices for a grip

I tried selling my Meike grip here. I didn't get much interest at the time... if you are interested we could sort out something ;-)

I have had two 3rd party grips in the past (neither of them Meike ) and they seemed very flimsy to me, I agree that OEM grips seem overpriced but with the £30 cash back I thought it would be worth it for the peace of mind.

I used to own the OEM grip for the original A7 and I have meike grip for A7RII. While the meiki isn't as good as the OEM version it certainly isn'y flimsy and OEM version isn't 5 times as good as meiki (may be 1.25-1.5x max ).

How much?

How about £45 inc. delivery?
I only ever used it once or twice to check it worked, but apart from that its practically new.

Is it the version for the a7r2 with all the buttons on the side or the version for the a7r?

Its the A7RII version. This one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00WJSYYFS

(I have tested in on my A7RII)

Cuda bin me yesterday but think I was let off with a virtual smack

This is not Sony but the competition...

The Canon 6D mkII as rumored and as suggested in deleted threads on another site seems to be behind the competition for dynamic range and boosting the shadows, according to DPR...

Ouch.

Pmsl... well you caught half of it at a high shutter speed. Those verticals look very skew.

Some nice images there...... especially with adapted lenses, imagine if you had a G Master
I can get my hands on a FE 100-400mm G Master next week if I wanted it but going to stick with the 70-200mm G Master even though there is no ETA date for it yet!

I will do..... at the moment I only have the 24-70mm f2.8 G Master

 

[david357]

......... and I have already bagged that at half price when you change systems again next week

 

[Riz_Guru]

Again... you make me sound like @addicknchips I have only changed from Sony to Fuji the once....

Anyway... a quick cropped photo from the 24-70mm GM.

 

[david357]

And a lovely shot it is too

Thought you got the 85 too

 

[Riz_Guru]

Thought you got the 85 too

It's been out of stock since I bought the Sony A9 and 24-70mm GM, the 85mm and 16-35mm GM are due in next week, no date on the 70-200mm GM and 1.4x TC yet

Peak design clutch

I have this too along with the Peak Design Summit strap.... also have some Black Rapid's, can recommend them all.

 

[Riz_Guru]

One more....
no cropping this time, very minor adjustments in LR with the Camera Portrait profile.
Love how the bridge just melts away.

Looked at them all and the PD sling and clutch seem best, the BR carabiner at the bottom adds bulk and scratches.
