Nice shots, the only birds I have seen round here are gulls sadly, god knows where the rest have gone.

What's going on here then?

 

[Fuji Dave]

What's going on here then?

The old lady started to shout and grab at the bloke who pushed her away, and then the punch came in quick and fast. Three police cars and 6 officers in the end, 20 minutes before they came out to them too, as they are the drinkers here in town.

Oh dear. As we used to say, "Someone's had a smell of the barmaids apron." Meaning someone can't hold their drink. I'm a happy drunk

They seem pointless when Sony have such brilliant models at reasonable prices, I don't think the 24GM is bad value at all considering the quality.

Wow, that's Odd. I always use the lens hood and would never have considered it an issue

Worth a try

I see have just passed 33,000 posts which makes me think I spend too long on here but it's my only real hobby these days and it's a distraction from the telly when I can't get out so, who cares

I used to post on a car forum but only from work when I had nothing to do, which was most of the time

 

[woof woof]

You can follow the launch of those new Siggy lenses on the rumor site... at 12:00 I think...

Follow it live: Sigma 20mm and 24mm f/1.4 lens announcement – sonyalpharumors

I don't suppose I can tempt anyone in here to a film era manual prime but if anyone is tempted I have three threads in the Other Brands section including some FD mount lenses, two Takumars and two Chinons.

Who's buying one or both?

I have the Sony 20mm f1.8 and 24mm f2.8 and I can't see myself changing them.

More reviews but I think these are worth watching as 20/24 isn't normally thought of for portrait...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zc1VHs-AWw&t=356s

As mentioned in another place... Still no top quality 28mm in Sony mount?

 

[snerkler]

Who's buying one or both?

Neither, far too big and bulky and have no need for a wide angle f1.4 lens.

I can see the appeal but I don't know how these Siggys compare to the Sony lenses and of course the Sony 20mm is f1.8 and some will always prefer f1.4 on principle.

Nice holiday to Lynton, North Devon over & done with.

The first time I've used the camera this year too.

Won't the Sigma 20mm f1.4 be good for astro stuff. If they nail the quality I can see it selling well.

Not sure you need f1.4 for astro.

I've "only" got f1.8 & I find it pretty good.

 

[GreenNinja67]

Actually, I've only got f2.8!

It should be yes. There’s obviously a market for it, just not a market I’m part of

This is a winner for me - just works really well.

 

[woof woof]

Today we picked brambles, We got two boxes full but could have picked many more. It's a good crop this year with many good sized ones.

A7 and Sony 35mm f1.8 at f1.8.

Another, this time at f8 and 100% crop.

The blackberries round here are small & hard, unable to develop properly through lack of moisture.

I didn't know what to expect but I found they're flourishing here.

@ancient_mariner Cheers mate.

It's my favourite too.

It shouldn't work but it just does I think.

Questioning whether I should have bought my IR converted A7 now.
It's a 720nm conversion and I really only intended shooting for B&W as I like the look it gives.
However I've just been out for a short walk with the A7 and my A7C and took these 2 shots.






So one is IR and one is an edit to give a "close to IR" look.
Should I sell the converted camera?

 

[GreenNinja67]

If the converted camera took the 2nd shot then no as it's far better than the first shot.

If the reverse then yes.

I prefer the 2nd whichever that is.
