Might get another A7 and the 24-105mm then I`m happy quite cheap too.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Not even to save £1200?

What kind of photography do you do?

I have never tried grey and never will, I know it might be sad but that`s just me.

Could also look at the Tamron 28-75 2.8 if you want a faster aperture but the Sony is very good.

It’s not sad, you spend your money how you want to.

So another A7iii and one great lens.

Buy the 20G or 24GM and ship them via me to try out

Then pass them onto me,

On a side note @Riz_Guru has probably made a few quid today so he may buy more camera gear!

So another A7, just thinking of what lens.

400mm f2.8 meant to be alright

Just got another A7III plus two cheapos, the zeiss 55mm and the 24-105 so I can now have fun, as will be getting rid of my fuji tomorrow ( not X100V).

Nice setup mate!!!!

I traded my Tamron for the Sony - the extra aperture doesn’t make much difference to me (and the Sony as OSS) plus the extra reach at both ends is good and I’m not sure I can see any difference in image quality. The Sony also feels a bit better made.

2 x A7iii
Zeiss 55
FE85
24-105mm??

Not a bad entry into Sony E.

Few photos from today, birds are pretty big crops. I'm assuming they'll be better on Flickr as this site cripples the sharpness on my shots. (edit, as I thought sharpness is crippled)

Quick grab shot, settings were wrong as I was pointing the other way doing some landscape when I caught her out of the corner of my eye.

Still a lovely shot IMO.

The 85 I am selling is nice

I was buying for a none forum friend- I have the 85mm GM - he likes that, so I looked for a cheaper alternative to the f1.4 for him hence my interest in that thread

drop me some details and I will pass them on to him

Yes but not going to stop investing in Tesla yet..... I am thinking of a 5 - 10 year investment plan! Or I could lose it all at some point.

It's so easy to think you need more than you actually do...!

 

[justa1972]

Samyang 18mm and Tamron 28-200 is doing me fine at the moment - much the the annoyance of my GAS !

Keep thinking replacing the 18mm Samyang with the Tamron 17-28 but the Samyang is just so small and light...

Out today with the faithful hound and the A7ii + Minolta Beercan on LA-EA4 and got this one of the big lad straight from camera, no colour editing, only rotated to straighten . Can even see the dust spot lol

Cos I”m a moron

gone to town on the photoshop

Very little photoshop done (none actually, it was LR ), just brushed in some NR for the background and must’ve been very sloppy, will correct it when I get home

Smashing. Lovely light Toby

Anyone see the stuff about the new Canons?

Worse battery life than the A7II, yes really the old A7II.

Also once the battery level drops below 60% they start to cripple the fps

Seen someone say that to get through a wedding day you will need about 14 batteries for 2 bodies and they are £114 a pop.

Surprising as their are many reports of over 1000 shots and the A9 is rated 480 shots... but we both know thats not true

So for the h+ frame rate (12fps) you have to have....
- not a hot day (or a cold one)
- over 60% battery
- no shutter under 1/1000
- no anti flicker
- RF lens and wide open.

I see people reporting 1200 shots etc at 12fps, another 900 shots at 54% rem but it would be interesting to know exactly what FPS it slows down to and why at 60%, thats loads of life.
