    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    Likely the first. It’s definitely the first in the Middle East region, with deliveries not likely to start for another 2 weeks here. Not a genuine eye cup. I couldn’t actually find anything genuine, so bought a few off Amazon. They seem to have gone up a bit in price but very much worth the...

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    So this weekend I picked up my new 400mm 2.8 and managed to get a small test with the A9 down at Dubai Autodrome. Initial thoughts - wow, it's light. Been shooting with the A9 since June last year and quickly fell in love with the system, but was waiting desperately some something to replace...

    It really depends on what you're shooting. So far, I've not been able to get much from shooting trackside with the A7R3 compared to the A9, where keepers are very high percentage. It's not as fast tracking objects moving towards you at speed, but in the pit and paddock it's perfect. Shooting...

    Mads Peter Iversen- Photographing Britain

    Followed this guy for a few years on Instagram and like some of his stuff. It's always interesting when these 'influencers' come to our shores and shoot placed we often take for granted. I truly feel that Wales and Scotland often don't get nearly enough love from international photographers...

    So last weekend I shot the Abu Dhabi GP with a pair of Sony A9's and an A7RIII. Having been a Nikon shooter for nearly a decade, it has been interesting for the past few months getting used to the A9 with a view to making a permanent switch of system. There are plenty of pro's for the Sony...

    The 400mm is coming. I've got my fingers crossed the announcement is today, and I've been told that availability will be pretty much immediate. There's more difference between the 100-400 and a 400mm prime than just the weight and size. I've shot primes for so many years that I've literally...

    400mm at £4499? Both Nikon's and Canon's equivalent retails for over £10,000. The Sony A-Mount 300mm 2.8 retails for £6,300 The Sony A-Miunt 500mm 4.0 retails for £10,800. I expect any 400mm 2.8 (if it is even a 2.8, not an f/4) would retails for £12,000 minimum. This is the biggest lens...

    I am working with the office in the Middle East (where I'm based) to try out gear. It's not a service they normally offer.

    Haha, that list doesn't have the Sigma 24mm or 35mm ART's, or the Nikon 600 f/4! It's certainly nice with the reduced weight. I'm not sold on the 100-400 yet, as it's just not quick enough compared to my primes, but will have to do until they can get me something faster! I have a month to try...

    So... just picked up a little bit of Sony gear, with a view to switch full time from Nikon to mirrorless. Main shooting is Motorsport/fast action, but with a lot of travel and Timelapse stuck in for good measure. My kit bag is now as follows; A9 A7SII 12-24 f/4 16-35 2.8 GM 85 1.4 GM 70-200...

    Timelapse movement - Timelapse rail project

    The rail itself is the simplest part of the project. It's then you come to the motion control, programming and motors. For video, something that just moves backwards and forwards is adequate, so long as you don't want to record the sound out of the camera (even a lot of motion control systems...
