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

    Saw a review regarding this on the z series( Viltrox Reddit) they said while the image quality it good, centre sharpness anyway. But it has zero flare resistance and the af is slow /sluggish and in their words “grindy” in af-c It keeps getting compared to the chip ( Viltrox 28/4.5) performance...

    Sony A7C ii or Nikon Z6 iii

    It’s going to be the same as the z6 in size and will be exactly the same as the a9. I don’t find it overly heavy and with a small prime to me it’s very light. For me I couldn’t ask for more except a larger buffer. the dr is great , a.f has been faultless for what and how I shoot. Hi iso is...

    If they keep with the trend it will be the same size as the 35/55/85 as those all share the same body/size.

    I they are all ment to be very good,I’ve been really impressed with Viltrox so far. I nearly picked up the 35 last week but was put of by quite a few comments I’d seen about a green colour cast. I already have a 28-75 and 20mm so doubt I will get the 28, a 24 I would have considered. The 14...

    Sony A7C ii or Nikon Z6 iii

    Can I ask why you have picked these two? Is it price? The z6iii is more comparable to a full size a7 in specs and body. I’m a Sony shooter so would recommend Sony. I was a Nikon shooter and haven’t looked at the z6 series since the mk1 which was far behind Sony especially in AF, I thought they...

    Check the setting as when you transfer via app to a phone anyway it’s not a full resolution image as standard unless you change the settings

    Challenge Nifty Fifty 2026 Chat Thread

    last minute for me, the images was taken a few weeks ago and I knew it would be my submission. but it often takes me ages to get around to removing them from the camera and then sorting and editing(just edited my last batch of 2025 china :D, and I'm away again in 2 weeks)

    I’ve got the retro 10 which is maybe a lot larger. I bought a vanguard veo go 34m shoulder bag as it’s noticeably lighter and smaller but can still hold my a7v with one lens and another spare( depending on size) It can carry my 50/1.2 and tamron 28-75 okay. There is still a large bottom pouch...

    Had a few proper outings with the a7v and 50 1.2 and keep being blown away with this setup. Daughter’s graduation and ball… nailed every image I took, low light iso 10,000 @1.2/1/200 it was faultless. The event guys were using 24-70s &flash in the church and all night. My daughter’s sports day...

    Will it be your main prime? I was happy to go for the size, weight and cost of the 50 1.2 as that will be my main lens. If I’m getting a 35/85 again it will be a 1.4 at the most. The 50 is 780g and it’s very noticeable not just in weight but size , a lot more than I expected to be honest...

    Saw this on the FM forums Have no idea what it actually means Maybe the more tech nerdy will Dpreview has reshot their a7rVI Exposure Latitude (DR) test, this time including the 12-bit ES burst mode in the comparison. Here's a link I generated that compares the a7rVI 14-bit ES vs 12-bit ES vs...

    Cotswold and Panamoz

    I bought a sold as new camera from my local Jessops when they were in every town. Tried to fob me of that i was wrong when I wanted to return it and the 3k extra of lenses I also bought. As I said before I looked at Cotswold but having felt with panamoz and their warranty years after. I...

    I found myself hitting it a fair amount on sunny days with my 50 1.2. And having to switch to the ES .
