Watched most the reviews earlier today. Was smaller and lighter than both the Nikon and canon versions. The trade of seems to be bad purple fringing at 1.2. Kills it for me.

It’s all that’s been on my camera since I got it . The 20 was used a small amount in China and when I took my daughter out to get some seascapes. The 28-75 has been made redundant, I’m going to sell it most likely as I also think the ridiculous sharpness from the 50 has killed it for me

I’ve not checked but Im guessing it will be similar in size and weight to the Sony 50 1.2. It’s a beast of a lens for a single focal length, but I never find it too heavy or uncomfortable.( I carried it daily for 4/5 h a day in 38oC for two weeks including Disney) I had the chance to buy either...

Yeah and It’s only going to get worse. The ssd I bought last year is more than double the price now

that price is bonkers yeah a base pro went down for a year or so, it was 1799 and went to 1599 its back to 1999. china prices have risen now, base model is 1750, but I can get 20% back on tax (1400 after tax back) up it to 32gb ram and its 2.4k In uk but would only cost me 1.7k after tax in...

I regret not buying one in China this year. They haven’t had the price increases we saw this year due to the price of parts increasing, which made the old 2/300 price saving far more. I may order one before we go next year as I’m not sure I would have enough to wait on a custom spec being made.

just the standard 16gb with the 14 inch . I now really on use LR CC and it can take a while for images to render fully, seem slightly better since the last update but other time can take 3-4 seconds for me to get the full detail. the ram is nearly always running at about 12gb used regardless of...

Yeah lightroom with a7v files is slow enough on my m1 MacBook Pro. The brenizer method image I posted a few days ago crashed my computer twice before I had to remove about half the images to get it to work without crashing. The a7riv would mean a serious computer upgrade for me… hell I need...

I currently use 3 bags. Lowepro flip side 400 aw- had it for years. It’s big/ heavy but holds all my kit ( much more space than my actual camera gear now I’ve cut down kit)and unconditionally my laptop when needed. Mainly only use it when going on holidays now or storing stuff in the house...

This plus a lot is also brand loyalty and recognition, they have always been the largest market share and while many of us switched systems you would be surprised how many still shoot dslr’s and continue to buy them and those upgrading will stick to what they use. While not as good as an Rf lens...

Another cracker. A lot of detail in quite a short exposure. Obviously a fair amount of background light pollution, but was it’s quite dark skys there?

Cloud cover here and got nothing to view it with… not going to risk the Sony and all I keep reading is articles about not looking or taking pictures without glasses to filters

The colours and tone in these is fantastic

Yeah one of the reviews I saw said that’s why they kept the same lens throughout the models as due to the design with the leaf shutter it would be a lot of time and money to redesign another. And while it may not be the best lens the design and leaf shutter was all that kept it small. Turn it...
