I *want* one, but am resisting (or will wait for Snerks to sell his on at a bargain price in 6 months. ).
Wow, what a treat seeing that. Nicely captured.Almost the first shot taken with the A1. If things like Tawny Owl chicks pop out the trees when I'm using it that's fine with me.

What made it more of a treat is that I had my grandson with me it it was the first time he had seen a owl.Wow, what a treat seeing that. Nicely captured.
I’ve actually got a bit of buyer’s remorse after seeing how sharp the Sammy shots were todayThe Samyang had a much easier job locating eyes on Milo compared with Betty, as a result it's nice a sharp.

I blame Trev and David
With me using it yesIs it possible to not get "the shot" with an A1?
That's what I'm finding as wellNice. I’ve noticed the battery life on the A1 is poor compared to other Sony’s I’ve had, probably lasts 1/2 - 2/3 as long as the A9II

Can get it new grey for that price, I’d rather have the assurance of warranty. YMMV.For those tempted there's a Sony 50mm f1.2 in the for sale section for £1,450, boxed and including all the normal stuff and including postage. The seller says it's been used 2-3 times.
In all this I think that focal length and perspective and the potential for blur and how much depth we want are all worth thinking about.
For eg if blur is the point then 50/1.2=41.6 compared to a cheaper 85mm f1.8 with 85/1.8=47 but here perspective and the nature of the blur have to be taken into account.
Oh. And a PS.
The widest aperture (f number wise) lenses I have are the Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 and Syoptic 50mm f1.1. For me there's a testing/honeymoon period where I want to see how it performs at various apertures and distances and after that the very widest apertures will only be used now and again and will be a small percentage of shots taken. Fair play to those who want to take every picture at the widest available aperture, I see the appeal.

Well as you know that's exactly my issue. I am worried I'm going to regret it, but I think it's also a case of if I don't do it I'll always be wondering and as it came up for £500 off (after cashback) I doubt I'll ever get it cheaper without buying grey. At the end of the day I can always change again if I find it too much of a pain using it, albeit with a loss of money. I'm not going to sell the Samyang straight away as I don't want to lose money on that too if I buy another.I'm not interested for reasons of size.
Good luck with yours and I'll look forward to reading your views and seeing some pictures
It's definitely the cheapest I have seen for UK stock.Well as you know that's exactly my issue.

Waving it goodbye more likeI did wonder for a second if he was blessing @snerkler 's wallet
Yep, that's exactly what I'd doJust look at it as a rental cost if you don't end up keeping it
Really nice. If you're using a tracker I assume shots like this are a composite, i.e. a static shot for the foreground and then the tracked one for the sky?
That's amazing!
(I really should use the tracker I bought in lockdown....).

You are killing it Lee. Love seeing your photos pop up, some serious dedication from yourself. Well done!
I think you can in olympus with their live composite but they're the only ones with this feature AFAIK.Is it possible to do this in 1 shot?
In camera, no stacking, no layering. Only adjusting contrasts and dodge and burn.

That’s the oneIf this is when you set the camera to take and combine multiple pictures until you stop it I think some Panasonic cameras have a similar feature, my G100 does.

That's the one I posted a while back where I first noticed the cats eye bokeh and went down that rabbit hole
Magic. Keep away from that Lab coat.
