The MBP is overdue, I meant to get a new one a year ago, and I could have put it off for another if not because Adobe basically won't run on its current hardware (Core2Duo) so it means my Sony bodies' RAW files can't be edited...making it useless as a laptop.

The 24mm I ordered because a few weddings ago I was using the 24L adapted in marginally low light and it was hunting, and hunting and I thought sod it.

I originally only planned to get the 105/1.4 this period before Christmas, but that is out the window and that's more a want than a need.

I have been putting off buying a MacBook Pro for the last 2 - 3 years :o
I am still running a MacBook Pro 2010 i5 2.4Ghz 8GB RAM unit which has been fantastic...... :)
However I am looking to go down the iPad Pro route instead...... :o

Mine was base model, lowest one at the time. 2010 too, but Core2Duo.

I've given up on the iPad long time ago, found the MBP more productive both on the go and home, I also use the MBP to design my wedding albums too, sometimes I need to take it with me to meet clients to go over the designs and the software is desktop only.

Not that much heavier than the Nikon 105 then.

Only thing I'm potentially lacking now is something longer than 85.

And maybe wider than 25..

We'll see.

Wedding tomorrow :)

Your not helping :) the only thing slightly putting me of us the size and the fact I was you going to use some credit that I have with WEX but they don't have any in stock.

It's not that big imo. Same as other 35 1.4. I've also owned the samyang and Zeiss 1.4s.
 
Ive 2 third party batteries which dont even show the warning message with the new firmware

Do you find A7 bodies too big?
Or just find the A7 series too expensive?
Click to expand...

A7 Series bodies are still a bit big and heavy. I take camera and lenses into the mountains so every gram does add up over 15+ miles and 1000m of ascent. Size is important because if it is too big to go in an ordinary sized rucksack side pocket, I won't/can't take it. An A6000 form factor is just ideal. Obviously I don't buy the likes of big and heavy F1.4 lenses, small and light rangefinder lenses are much more my thing.

Is Sony going to rectify the issue or is it a ploy to make everyone buy their batteries in future?

What is the "issue" you want Sony to rectify?

As far as they are concerned OEM batteries work just as they should.

Ever wished you'd read a post before ordering a third party grip and batteries? :LOL::runaway:

My meike grip and batteries are fine. In fairness I usually have the 3rd party one in the grip as the first battery then an oem in the second slot
 
jj_glos said:
I literally ordered it today at lunch, then caught up on posts in here :wacky:

It is for an A9 though, which I haven't noticed any posts about the same issue. I'll find out tomorrow! :snaphappy:

I figured why buy £3-4K bodies and skimp on batteries that's constantly in the camera for sake of £30!

I already have OEM's that should cover me. I was just buying a grip to see if it would help with the handling issues I have with the body. I'm not willing to shell out £300 for the official grip just to try it though. The grip wasn't too much more bundled with two batteries and a dual charger so to be honest they're more emergency spares than anything else. Not much good in an emergency if they don't work though!

Because on every other camera system I've owned the 3rd party batteries were nearly 99% as good and in some cases lasted longer!

The ones I have for the Sony system aren't as good tbh but I already have 5 oem ones. They're handy for back to back weddings etc
