Poor thing, reminded me of.... does it make them faster?

But I just read in another thread that your "GAS had subsided!"Anybody else see this?

I think this could complete my line-up if it is true. I currently have the A7rii which I love, my only criticism is the af tracking for wildlife and sometimes its nice to have the extra reach. I recently tried the crop mode and whilst it is great, if I then need to crop further I am losing a lot of pixels. A 32mp APSC with A9 AF and zero blackout would be great for wildlife and sports. I had thought of adding the 1.4x to add to the 100-400 when needed, but the loss of 1 stop puts me off.
Again the APSC with 32mp along with the 100-400 could prove to be a great set-up, leaving the A7 for landscapes, family etc

Happy new year all
Don't let the extra stop put you off, I got the 1.4x as soon as I could after getting the 100-400 and it hasn't come off. The sensor is excellent in coping with the higher ISO required.Anybody else see this?

EDIT: Since discovered that those specs were fake, but hey it would be nice
Have you thought about the A7R3? So far I’ve found the AF to be quite good on it (I’ve been photographing fishing otters and not found it lacking yet). I gather there were some good improvements over the previous model.It has, I also said that I too like shiny new things
Joking aside, my original plan when I switched from Canon was to have the Sony for general use, landscape etc and a Canon 7D2 for wildlife and motorsport. However I fell in love with the Sony the only downside to the Sony is the reach (not as bad due to the high MP and ability to crop heavily) and the af tracking.
I would be intrigued to try the 100-400 with 1.4 TC myself (still looking at potential places to buy). With a 1.4TC I could see it being potentially limiting for me being f8. Previously I used to used the f4-f5.6 range quite a bit on a 200-400 to get reasonable shutter speeds so f8 could be a struggle.Don't let the extra stop put you off, I got the 1.4x as soon as I could after getting the 100-400 and it hasn't come off.

Peak District is not actually a place to door step away for us in london. It's actually quicker and sometimes cheaper to go to say marseille and trek over there!The UK countryside never fails to amaze me, how much beauty there is on our doorstep. Anyway decided to take a family trip to the Peak District, I really do enjoy the 16-35mm f4

Great image though
Yup exactly.I was going to say you are crazy but I have travelled to Italy and back for £42 while the trains to get anywhere in this country is silly expensive.
Done similar, flew to Amsterdam for £55 return and it was great, that was a few years ago now though.I was going to say you are crazy but I have travelled to Italy and back for £42 while the trains to get anywhere in this country is silly expensive.
Yup exactly.
I went mersielle last year for 80 quid return?
Stayed at a massive airbnb apartment with friends paying no more than 20 quid each a night and the mountain range there is spectacular with better weather.
The government need to get there s*** together and make railway prices half of what it is
Yea that also. It took me 8h to get to lake district from london a few years agoIt's not just the cost it's the time spent travelling.
Manchester to home takes about three hours, you can be where in the world in that time. Coming back to the UK the final train journey is a killer.

Crazy innitIt took me and Mrs WW all day to get to the Eden Project and another full day to get home.
Maybe not the Peak District, but I’m sure there are plenty of opportunities near where you livePeak District is not actually a place to door step away for us in london. It's actually quicker and sometimes cheaper to go to say marseille and trek over there!

Get wells soon, merry Yule!... I've been ill and have no free time anyway

that lens looks like a real beauty!
We spent a family Christmas there, took nearly 9 hours to get back to Surrey day after Boxing DayYea that also. It took me 8h to get to lake district from london a few years ago
Is that taken from St Catherine’s Island? Every time I’ve visited Tenby the island has been closed. Always wanted to hav3 a look around there
Well I’ve finally ordered a 100-400 after looking around for the last few weeks Im looking forward to it being delivered as I’ve heard many good things on here, and hoping to put it through it’s paces with the otters I’ve recently been following. It has created a dilemma as I’ve currently got a 25-105 f4 and a 70-200 f4. Im thinking I may have initially made a mistake with lens selection when moving over from Nikon as I bought the equivalent lenses of this I had previously owned. In the past I’ve felt I needed a lens in the 70-200 range because of the focal length gap between a shorter lens (24-70 or 24-120) and longer wildlife telephoto lenses I used. Also due to the size/weight of the longer telephoto wildlife lens I needed something lighter in the 70-200 range for landscapes (I wasn’t ever planning on lugging the wildlife lens around!!). Now I’ve dropped the heavy telephoto in favour of a lighter long lens in the 100-400 I’m wondering if the 70-200 f4 will get as much use or if I really need it. The 24-105 and 100-400 combo would cover the whole 24-400mm range but at the expense of 1/3 (up to 168mm) to 1 stop of aperture (168mm+) and around 500-600g in weight. It will be interesting to see them side by side as there doesnt look like a major size difference on the camerasize.com https://camerasize.com/compact/#724.660,724.392,ga,t. Weight wise there probably won’t be much in the Sony setup to the previous Nikon setup I was carrying for landscapes.
Has anyone else had this dilemma? Part of my move over to Sony was to reduce the amount of kit I had so it makes sense not to keep anything if I don’t necessarily need it. I’ve been really impressed with the Sony 70-200 f4 as it seems to be a great lens. It’s pretty sharp, has fast and accurate focusing, and is pretty much silent in operation. It would be a shame to sell it but equally a shame to see it sitting in a cupboard seldom used.
I managed to find a used lens on camera jungle. They currently have a 10% off offer at present so it came in at £1800. It was listed as mint with 12 month warranty so hopefully a good find. With them practically being the only lens option over for 200mm there are very few on the used market.Nice one, how much did you get one for in the end?
