Thanks - I did Google the address of the Uk reseller and it’s a house on a private estate - thought was a bit odd: What was delivery time from .com?

Wondered where it was shipped from and if there was possibility of getting stung with VAT and handling charges. .com is free shipping but talks about US/EU warehouse and some items shipped from China. Doesn’t say anything about tax included in the sale.

What’s the website you ordered from Viltox Uk have them listed for £145 but I can’t get any of the discount codes to work.

I’m going to do mine over the weekend. I would rather it brick now whilst under warranty!!

What we don’t know is which customers Sony say they are listening to. Is this consumer or pro - and what’s the mechanism for capturing the feedback to prioritise. This upgrade may have been the top of a customer list. Maybe pre-capture was way down the customers they focussed on. I’d use it very...

This is from the Sony site.

My take on the firmware. Sony have provided what they promised at the release of the a9iii and have added more. Lots are looking over the fence at other brands and asking for things that have never been promised on the A1. It looks like they have changed the software significantly - and...

I went Saturday. The 300mm “show deal” was that it was available at the show!! No money off it. Had a play - it’s really light and compact. Defo my next big purchase.

Nice choice. Wish I’d thought of that.

If you like the A6400 then I would give another shout for the A7C series. A7Cii probably suit for the use you are looking for. Fuji combo you are looking at is only approx 100g lighter than the A7Cii & 50mm f1.4 GM. I used the A7CR and 50mm f1.4 at a shoot Wednesday with the wrist strap and...

I think one or two of did say now we are FF we wouldn’t drop back. I guess you have to see for yourself. I struggled with APSC. Not afraid to say I’m a FF snob. Looking back to my Olly days I have some cracking images. But I look at the files in comparison and the detail simply isn’t there...

“Problem with the images”?

Other options out there, 55mm and smaller options from Sigma and Sammy. This is the thing with cameras - it’s down to what suits you and only you can decide. No matter what we say. Many people come on forums asking for help with options when actually they are not open to suggestion more...

Have you thought about A7CR or A7Cii? Both now have the Ai autofocus and front dial wheel. Full frame, share all your lenses. I’ve just added the A7CR to my Sony kit for when I want to travel lighter. Batteries the same, menu the same. I will use it as a 2nd shooter when out with the A1 for...

Just taken delivery of my A7CR so not had the chance to use it in anger with the 20-70mm yet. Just interested side by side comparison. Crop mode on the R would still give 75mm at 28mp. But think I would miss the 4mm on the wide end.
