So why can't you comment on it?I did, yes.

Because it's not out yet.So why can't you comment on it?
Ok, that's got me confusedBecause it's not out yet.
This oneI like the picture of the Merc on the pit straight just before Redgate you have on Flickr
No, but that's nice too. I meant the blue and white car, number 31.
Exactly. I review gear, alas I'm not doing much Sony yet but I'm considering an A7iii to do so. For now it's X, M4/3 and L.Ok, that's got me confused
I'm assuming then you've got a pre-release?
Ahh Ok, that makes sense nowExactly. I review gear, alas I'm not doing much Sony yet but I'm considering an A7iii to do so. For now it's X, M4/3 and L.
Donington park GT cup championship-79 by Ben Cheneler, on FlickrNo, but that's nice too. I meant the blue and white car, number 31.
That's the one
Got loads like that way over exposed nearly binned them all and yes the first pic at 1/8th was with a ND filter again got loads to go through.That's the one
OK, first of the many questions, in Sony vernacular IS XAVC HS equivalent to H265 and XAVC S - H264 please ?
Also, what would be a well regarded and small (similar to the 15mm F1.4 in size) 35mm or 50mm equivalent standard lens (so I guess a 27mm and / or 35mm in APS-C focal lengths) with a max aperture of say around F1.4-F2 ish please ?
As a big fan of 40mm this caught my eye as well, but in a huge display of willpower vs GAS, I managed to convince myself that an A6000 + Viltrox is only 80g lighter than a A7r2+ Batis 40mm.The Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF Pro seems to be very well regarded, if I shot APSC that’s the one I would go for.
It would seem all of their newer A.P.S.C lenses are supposed to very good.
Ahh a ten stopper that’s why. It doesn’t look too bad in that it should be an easy fix in post by simply tweaking white balance, some colour casts can be a nightmare to correct.Got loads like that way over exposed nearly binned them all and yes the first pic at 1/8th was with a ND filter again got loads to go through.
The filter was an ND 3.0 10 stop Firecrest used on a dullish day just to try it and has since been returned due to a pinpoint blemish (clear bit) i could see. Coulourcast,,, would that be the off white in that particular pic.
Don't forget i am a newbie so lots to learn and more critique on what i post the better.
It's no wonder shipping is so expensive these days, been tracking the Panamoz return. It left East Midlands Airport the next day, it's then been sat in Germany for over 2 days and this morning it's arrived back in Stanstead
Yes, well Hong Kong. It’s at their expense though, they provided all the labels and customs invoices.Are they making you send it back to China?
When I have returned stuff to them before it only had to be shipped to an address in London.
Maybe they have changed how they do things to be fair it’s been a long time since I sent anything back to them.Yes, well Hong Kong. It’s at their expense though, they provided all the labels and customs invoices.
Thanks, I'll wait a whileA1 and A9III bug fixes and updates on the rumor site.
Finally: New Sony A1 2.01 firmware update bug fix and new A9III 2.0 released – sonyalpharumors

I find with wide angle you're more prone to the distortion, is it parallax effect or something?I took some pictures with my MFT Panasonic GX9 and 12-35mm f2.8 yesterday and I made a little panorama from three pictures taken at 12mm, that's 24mm FF equivalent. I don't think I've done a panorama with a wide lens before, I think they've all been at either 35 or 50mm.
For those who do panoramas more than I do, is there a better focal length? A worse one? Just wondering.
I suppose I mostly have 35 or 50mm lenses mounted but I think a thought at the back of my mind was that wider lenses have less good edges and corners but these days I don't think that's necessarily true anymore so maybe I should consider wider lenses more for panoramas.

Personally I always use an 85mm for panoramas otherwise I might as well use my wide lenses.I took some pictures with my MFT Panasonic GX9 and 12-35mm f2.8 yesterday and I made a little panorama from three pictures taken at 12mm, that's 24mm FF equivalent.

This is what I was referring to with wide angle and panos. Obviously it's worse with close objects, and it may be that with wide angle you're tendning to shoot something closer and hence why it's more pronounced.I think for pano work, if your WA doesn't distort in the corners then you're OK. However many do, increasingly as they get wider, so if there are objects in the image with an obvious shape they may appear squished.
I don't know, but it seems to be the way with quite a lot of APS-C lensesWhy is it that with the exception of say the 16-55 F2.8, most of the "standard" zoom lenses for the Sony E mount APS-C start at 18mm (27mm effective) and not 16mm (24mm) as their FF counterparts do ?
I imagine that makes for smaller lenses for smaller bodies.Why is it that with the exception of say the 16-55 F2.8, most of the "standard" zoom lenses for the Sony E mount APS-C start at 18mm (27mm effective) and not 16mm (24mm) as their FF counterparts do ?

It is new kit day for me, my RX 100 VA has just arrived - it is adorable, I can't believe how small it is. Nice solid build quality as well, Charging up the batteries now, but Im waiting until my screen protector, grip and sticky CF wrap arrive this evening.20-70 f4 has arrived.
Amazing the size of the thing compared to the old 24-70, that 20-23 makes so much difference for me. Can't wait to try it out.
been waiting nearly 7 years for a RX10 iv sucessor!Only main thing I don't like about my RX100 VII is that Sony still use the UHS-I standard for the SD cards not the much faster UHS II, so I quite often find myself waiting for the card to finish writing before I can do anything else, but as a pocket camera to take everywhere with you, the RX100 series really has very few peers. Would be great if Sony were developing a MK8 with UHS II, higher res rear screen and EVF, 10 bit video footage (even if only 4,2.0), and 4k 50 (60 if you are from that side of the pond). However I very much doubt we will ever see another RX100 generation again.
Which 24-70mm?20-70 f4 has arrived.

I think it really depends on your use case, my other 2 camera's are a A6000 which was my test case for mirrorless, I liked it but the EVF was pants so I bought the A7r2 which I still use.Only main thing I don't like about my RX100 VII is that Sony still use the UHS-I standard for the SD cards not the much faster UHS II, so I quite often find myself waiting for the card to finish writing before I can do anything else, but as a pocket camera to take everywhere with you, the RX100 series really has very few peers.
