Would anyone know if this would work with the sony a7iv it states it would with the a7iii , i know nothing about flash guns or would there be something better for the Same price £70 on amazon View attachment 391988
Just to add to what Tim said, there is also a V350s - the same flash, but with a Li-ion battery, which gives improved recycle times and max number of shots (but more expensive, and you can't just pop in some new AA's if it runs out , but you can buy spare batteries specifically for it).Would anyone know if this would work with the sony a7iv it states it would with the a7iii , i know nothing about flash guns or would there be something better for the Same price £70 on amazon View attachment 391988

Yep.Inevitable.............................

Did the retailer detail this fault when they sold it? I don't think you should be having to pay for repair work after buying a lens from a camera shop unless it's explicitly listed when the lens was sold.I've been looking for a Voigtlander 35mm f2.5 p type in l39 mount. They're hard to find and all those on ebay are in Japan. I found one at Harrison camera in the UK and it arrived today and it's in beautiful condition but the focus ring gets progressively tighter as you move towards infinity. It has a very short focus throw so this is significant.
I soooo wanted this lens as I had one years ago and sold it and always regretted it and wanted another to try on my A7. It cost me £200 and a service to fettle the stiff focus will be £50-100. I'll have to think but I'll probably keep it and get it serviced. I suppose this just highlights the problem buying old kit, you never know what's going to turn up and in what condition.
With the adapter it's still smaller than the Pergear 35mm f1.4.

If the GF55 was available….Until the next shiny thing appears
Waits for images from forthcoming GF 55mm F1.7………

All depends what you’re used to I guess. When I got it I thought it was quite big, but now having used the 50mm f1.2 for a couple of days and going back to the 35mm it feels tinyFrom the rumor site.

I quite like vids like this as they usually give an opinion and sample picture. It's interesting that he says he likes this lens because it's small. I suppose I'm out of step

I've just bought a used Tamron 35mm F2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 lens for just £160 !
It's plastic, slow focusing and no buttons or features, but optically it's up there with other 35's costing double+. It also has a 1:2 Marco feature which I will find useful.
This will get used to fill the gap between iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is great but sometimes I want that full frame quality, and then my 70-180.
Talking of 35's

Mrs WW wanted a picture of these small flowers.
A7 and Pergear 35mm f1.4 at f16 I think plus No.4 close up filter.

Strawberries. I always think of the sweety ad on TV, "Stwarberry. They taste of Stwarberry." Same kit at f8.

100% from that.

Still struggling to decide what to replace my second A7iii with. The immediate choice is the A7IV, but I'm also considering the A7RIV as they're a similar price. I'd like the same button layout at the A9II, and I'm wondering if the A7IV screen would annoy me not being the same to the A9II.
The obvious choice is another A9II but they seem to be more than I want to pay at the moment.
Is grey/used not an option for the A9II or are those prices still too high? If the A9II already fulfils your needs it would make sense to get another, especially as the layout will be identical obviously.Still struggling to decide what to replace my second A7iii with.

Yes, you can only get the max frame rate of shooting jpeg or compressed raw, I think uncompressed raw drops the frame rate to 15fps from memory, which is still more than fast enough imo.I pulled the trigger on a second hand minty A9 from Clifton Cameras after much deliberation. Want to see how the electronic shutter is vs the A7iv. Not sure if my SD cards will be fast enough to take full advantage though. Are compressed RAWs favourable in terms of fps? Sad I missed the one available on the forum but didn't have the funds at the time
Yup, but could shoot smaller RAW for weddings but that kind of defies the point of having it I guess. I think screen on a7iv would be fine, if the other camera was the same. Having two different screens opening in different ways may be frustrating...I agree, maybe another A9II is the best bet and I'll just have to suck it up. Hopefully I can get a deal like I did on the last one (£2k for a Sony refurb)I have an A7RIVa the files sizes are a total ball ache for weddings, have always thought that the a,f wasn't as reliable as the A7III never mind the others. Its great for portraits and wedding details were nothing moves fast and the option to crop so much makes it good for speeches as you can crop until the cows come home and easily get rid of distractions on tables etc. I wouldn't want to be using for covering everything at a wedding though.
I do find the screen on the A7IV annoying but everyone will be different. A9II is probably your best bet tbh will save loads of time in post as well as all of the bodies handle W.B differently. Just my opinion but for me the A7IV a.f isn't as reliable as the A9 or A9II either.
