    Couple of shots from a walk in the woods where we live. Taken on the A7iii with Sony 55mm Zeiss.

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

    Popped into Rochester this morning before the rain came down. Mixture of 35mm and 55mm (some were 85mm crop). Started off with just buildings but got a bit braver with the 55mm Zeiss on 85mm crop to get some people shots, I asked permission for the one with the child in. Sun was rising over the...

    Received the 55mm I bought in the classifieds and took a couple of test shots, autofocus seems quick and lens sharp. Had to scale them down to fit them on here.

    First outing out with the A7iii + 35mm F1.8 We live in a village so figured I would just go for a walk and snap some things.

    After several years out, I decided to get myself back into Photography. Just bought an A7iii with Sony 35mm F1.8 FE lens, both used but both mint condition with very little use. I have a nearly 4 year old son who doesn't sit still so I am going to stick to primes for now. Debating whether to...

    Sony A6300 my best bet?

    Looking to get back into photography, my little one is 3 now so I want to get pictures of him on days out and holidays etc. I’m thinking a Sony A6300 paired with a 35mm F1.8 OSS which could be had for £500-£550 used seems like a good offering. Considered going FF on something like a Canon 6D...

    Scratching the itch again - Sony Mirrorless?

    Hi I have not had a camera for about 18 months now, we had a new baby and my Sony A6300 just wasn't getting used enough so I sold it. However, after 18 months of using an iPhone 11, I feel I want some better quality images. The iPhone ones are ok but they are nowhere near what I used to get...

    Still waiting for my 16mm Sigma F1.4, was posted via Royal Mail last Thursday first class. Their website/Twitter says they are experiencing delays which makes sense I guess, demand is likely to be high. My Apple watch however, which was Dispatched on Friday 17th from China has passed through...

    Value is not always perceived in monetary terms. I don’t care what their profit margins are. I pay what I feel is worth it for the product I want. I have a choice, I can buy something else. Got the latest Apple Watch in order for the Wife’s birthday at the moment, means I can use her older...

    It looks great both spec wise and visually but I just don’t like Windows and no amount of spec will change that for me. The latest Samsung’s are often better spec wise and price wise than the latest IPhone but I hate Android so it doesn’t matter to me. The ecosystem is what sells it for me...

    I think it depends what you do on it. Spec for spec you can usually get a Windows machine for far less than a Mac, I doubt most people would try and argue against that. I know my MacBook likely cost 1.5-2x the same spec Windows laptop but for me, having everything work seamlessly is worth the...

    Crazy how far things have come since the 80s. I’m a bit younger than you so my first computing job was on a help desk, still had Windows NT for the 13k user estate, even that seems ancient now but really wasn’t that long ago! Currently a Network and Voice engineer so spend most of my time doing...

    from a personal point of view, I would never go back to a Windows machine since I bought a MBP a few years back. I have Windows for Work as they enforce it but having the choice, I would be Mac. Our household is fully Apple though, iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Apple TV’s (x3). Everything just...

    Just bought a used Sigma 16mm F1.4 for my Sony A6300 for £280, hoping it shows up tomorrow. Only have the 35mm F1.8 OSS at the moment but I like as an all rounder but struggling indoors as there is only so far I can move back! Sharpness on the Sony is not as good as I was hoping but hoping the...

    New Sony 50mm F1.8 OSS or Used Sigma 56mm F1.4

    Thanks all. The Sigma it is then! Guess if I don’t use it as much as I thought I could sell it on for what I paid for it.
