unless you need that f1.4 for shallower DoF get the sony 35mm f1.8 or samyang 35mm f1.8
I do like the idea of the dof with 1.4 and it kinda draws me towards the sigma.

How do you like the 28-75, do you miss the 24mm. Love the idea of the size and weight of the Tamron but not the missing 4mm off the wide end.

Got my Peak Design Cuff delivered. So much nicer than the included strap.

I tend not to shoot very wide very often so I don't miss it at all, if I do want something wider I have another lens. The Tamron is great for meHow do you like the 28-75, do you miss the 24mm. Love the idea of the size and weight of the Tamron but not the missing 4mm off the wide end.
I've got the black one. Sold my ash one on here.
This this colour would really suit my silver A7C better but the buyer preferred it... oh well
I think black would suit your A6600 better, fancy a trade?
Stick to your guns! I too have the Ash. Goes well with the A6500, and besides, all of my other PD straps, and most of my PD bags oops: ) are Ash. Ash is the new black!Heh, good try. Would love to help you out except I had considered the black when ordering, but I love this colour too much, it contrasts really well against the black of the camera.
I love those two shots. great colours and composition. Smashing dog, too!A couple from today (A7iii & Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8)

Jared makes some good points here, still can't see the point of this camera.

The weight difference is extremely small, IQ is the same as the A73 and it has no joystick to select AF point. Then you have the higher price point, epic fail for me.its small, light and great for travels with class leading IQ and great simple to use AF.
If you can find me all these in some other body let me know

What are you going to track with it ? Certainly won't be sticking a tele zoom on it so that limits it's usefulness.A7C also has real time tracking which is a huge improvement over the A7III.
Why would you need to focus stack on the moon? I'm pretty sure infinity should be fine.
I think you mean noise reduction stack.

They should have priced it around £1499

Few questions, what camera and lens, do you use a focus rail, how do you deal with the subject movement while stacking?Certain area's of the moon become soft in single shots at infinity i've found, so aligning and focus stacking in Affinity allows me to take photos focusing on specific area's of the moon and merge them for more definition and better focus throughout the image.

It's surprising how few get it. Can't wait to use mine with the 35 f2.8, nice and small and light.500gm vs 650gm - "they basically weigh the same fricken thing", i stopped listening at this point lol
It actually weighs like ~30% less, guess math isn't a great strength of his
Pretty clear he doesn't get it then again a lot of youtubers don't... I guess its one of those marmite things you either get it or you don't.
Edit:
I jumped to the end just to see if he had anything good to say and he had the massive 35mm f1.2 next to it
Think he's completely missed the point of it lol

But with the option to use all the big glass. Mine arrives early next week, not good timing on my part as I have a training course Mon to Wed that I'll have to answer the door at some point.

Panamoz like you said price matched E-infinity.A FF combination under 600 grams nice!
where did you get yours from in the end?
Step 1: acquire an A7C
Step 2: put a >1kg lens on it
Step 3: complain there is no noticeable difference
I use the rear dial on the back of my a6600 for most operations. I use it to move the AF point around and the centre button to deselect/cancel it. Feels great and intuitive to use. I imagine it's the same on the a7c.
I watched this video a few months ago where the guy also stacked his moon photos. From 3:48.

He says because he crops in a lot it can get noisy and using noise reduction reduces sharpness. And that stacking several photos increases detail.

Yes I know but it's not focus stacking.
It's just stacking images and combining them in Photoshop to reduce noise.
My point was the moon is so far away you don't need to focus stack.
If you can focus on one part of the moon and another with different focus he's got a better lens than me!
He said what's the point of having a very capable sensor, AF system etc. then putting cheap lenses on it.A FF combination under 600 grams nice!

Have you ever used the joystick on the A73 ?I watched this video a few months ago where the guy also stacked his moon photos. From 3:48.

So now cost equals quality?
He sounds like bit of lens snob tbh in that case
On a 24mp sensor you don't need a 135GM
For example you'd hard pressed between tamron 28-200mm vs. 24-105mm.
That's one of benefits of having a lower MP body. you'll seldom needed latest greatest lenses to get good sharpest.
There are plenty of sharp small cheaper lenses that work great even on A7RIV like Samyang 45mm, FE35/1.8, FE85/1.8 etc.
Then there are small premium lenses line 20G, 24GM, FE55, basis primes, loxia primes etc.
Even lenses like tamron 17-28mm great and small.
You don't need to put a 1kg f1.2 to make use that sensor and AF. In fact that AF will work better smaller f1.8 lenses.
Like I said point of a body like A7C seems to be completely lost on him.
I'd mostly agree, except I can see the difference between a better prime and the 24-105 on my A7III, so I think the 28-200 would be very noticeably less crisp. I'm still; working my way through the photos we took in Athens, and when I popped a prime on for a picture I just have this sense of *that's better*. Having said that, I've no doubt the 28-200 would be ADEQUATE, and I've printed up images taken using an 18-250 Sigma on my A58 that were OK at viewing distance, but I think it would be just a bit discouraging when culling and processing.
But the main point - there are great quality, small and light lenses available - I absolutely agree.
Well that's a zoom vs. prime comparison as supposed to a zoom vs. zoom (i know one of them is a superzoom style lens which generally have a bad rep).
even on A7RIV the main difference is in the corners and very slight difference in mid-zone. So on 24mp you might be able to pick up some difference in corners but generally speaking the difference will be lost unless you go desperately looking for it.
I think you are possibly underestimating the tamron lens but they have made some really good lenses recently with obvious compromise of the focal length rather than IQ. the 70-180mm was recently shown to be sharper than RF70-200mm by Dustin. the 17-28mm on lensrentals was tested to be as sharp as the GM for the most part. what you lose out on is really the 24mm end (which as Roger from lens rentals explains is a really hard focal length to develop lenses for which tamron have avoided to lose that complication).
Also the rendering isn't as good, the sunstars kinda suck tbh which is a real downer for me. I like my sunstars lol
