Didn’t see it mention and I never saw it in the promo video i watched but the new sigma 50mm extends as it focuses.. looks to extend a fair bit it too.

With uk pricing vs grey im not sure where this lens will fit in. Pricing hasn’t been released from what I saw but the current f2 version is between 550-650 in the uk( grey seems to be harder with sigma glass) so I would expect that this will be more, you can pick up a 1.4g for just over £700...

The size and weight look great and I’m a fan of the style, always thought the 50/2 looked great. But following the thread in the Sony Reddit they posted images from the sigma website and the LoCa and Ca seems even worse than the 50/2. I guess there has to be some give when making it so small...

Not sure the ES on the newest cameras are noticeable, compared to last gen they much match there mechanical in terms on bit depth and DR.

On the a7v it’s only lossless compressed Compressed HQ Compressed There is no uncompressed, this seems to be what Sony will be doing going forward as the a7rvi is the same. They claim it’s the same 14bit files with matching DR. Yes there is about a stop difference between the two shutters...

lossless compressed is the best you can get on the V. Can’t say I’ve noticed any difference

the second images definitely used the slower shutter speed image to build on the water giving it a far better look. Bracketing likely wasn’t needed, I was just trying to see if it would preserve more detail due to the harsh contrast in lighting due to the high mid day sun I was shooting into...

What is the point in bracketing now days? the new sensors seem so good its kind of pointless. one is the standard image edited the other 3 images 1.5EV bracketing DSC06338 by p mcallister, on Flickr DSC06340-2 by p mcallister, on Flickr

I would say so. The whole thing is faster including AF. As for accuracy that’s also improved. I couldn’t say how much as I don’t shoot anything that challenging. But what I would say is the whole a.f system/menu is different and that has been a bit of a challenge for me. Eye af maybe due to me...

Thanks Yeah it wasn’t the best night for it with clouds and it ended up not being as bright this time. Weirdly 2 years ago to the day it was the brightest it’s been here, well definitely since I’ve been trying to get it anyway. The local uni(st Andrews) contacted me and asked if they could re...

my 50 is rarely off 1.2.. feels like a sin having on anything else:ROFLMAO:

There is a 24-50 2.8 from Sony seems decent and is just over half the price of the 24-70gm2 if buying grey.. The tamron 20-40 ED mentioned above or they also do a 17-50 but f4. It’s likely really worth considering the 24-70gm2 if it’s going to be a main replacement and everything use lens...

Anyone used both the tamron 35-150 and the 70-200gm2? Contemplating my next buy and really struggling with what I would use the most. The last 70-200 I had was the mk2 on Nikon. While optically it was great I found the size and weight ment I didn’t use it that often ( both my kids were under...

Welcome. I’m up in St Andrews so about an hour away loads around Fife for landscapes but not so much street
