I find their ratings a little odd, the 85gm is a 9- and has paint loss and a scratch on the optics.

There was a couple of other 85GM's on there as well this morning but they are gone now. Might be worth keeping an eye out in case they add any more.

I have got one already

Tempted by the Zeiss 35mm but what I really want is the art 35mm F1.2

How about this my friend

Perfecto lovely image to print up

 

[rob-nikon]

I thought I’d share a few images that I’ve just got around to processing from my final trip to this year’s Deer rut. It wasn’t great this year as I didn’t anything better than before.






My recent trips out over Christmas have drawn a blank though I’m hoping to get out to seals soon.

 

[rookies]

Here a few more festive images...

Oystercatchers on the move, Sigma 150-600 @600mm (Edit, mostly Dunlin with a couple of Oystercatchers)

Little test with my resident model of the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, not the best day to test it out with dodgy light and very low sun. Sharpness is decent, seems to work well with Eye AF and continuous focus. Files seem warmer than I'm used to, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Just ordered a Godox V1 & wireless trigger.

Nice, also looking at one to go with my ad360, the tt350 are really tempting, so small.

It's my first flash, so looking to learn

The softer light without modifiers swung me in the direction of the V1, quite excited to be honest.

 

[rookies]

Are these flashes ok then

 

[NewBeetle]

Are these flashes ok then

I'll let you know in week or so when mine arrives from China

 

[GreenNinja67]

I bought one too.

But don't be surprised if the light isn't as soft as you think it will be.

It's not a soft box after all.

Oh I'm not expecting miracles but side by side with a regular speedlight naked they do look a lot nicer

 

[Bobsyeruncle]

I've got a tt350

 

[GreenNinja67]

Got the TT865o (Olympus) and the V1 For Sony.

May sell the 865 but works fine as a wireless slave on Sony so not sure if I'll keep it or not yet.

 

[T_J_G]

I've got the 685, 350, AD200 but tempted to add a V1. The bounce card on my 685 popped out and I can't get the bugger back in.

A7 discontinued? Oh well, it had a good run...

I hope they make a smaller body A7 replacement without IBIS at a lower price. Like a canon RP competitor.

Bout bloody time, talk about bleeding to death.

And then everyone but you will be bitching the thing is to small.

I expect it comes down to how many they're selling and if they're not selling enough...

I think it still makes sense for someone like me who doesn't need cutting edge focus, rapid frame rates or expect ISO 25,600 pictures to look good 2m wide. For casual stuff of family, friends, days out and holidays I think it still makes sense.

The last time I took mine out was 9th. I was hoping to be able to escape for a few hours tomorrow but it's looking very unlikely now Anyway, the 9th, a dull drab day but the greens and yellows looked luminous. A7 and Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 at f8.

Won’t be much softer, it’s marketing blurb. Physical size of the light source determines its softness along with distance.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I have the 3 biggest ones that one would possibly carry. The V1, 860II and AD200. The one that I like best is actually the 860II because of the bounce card. To get the bounce card for the V1 you need to buy it separately and it is not built in. So it takes up more space and expense. So I don't use the V1 on camera, it's just for off camera now.

I guess the V1 has a modelling lamp mode, good if you need that, pointless for weddings though.

Not sure why everyone is ignoring the 350s, great little flash and has been enough for fairly dark environments for me.

Mine doesn't trigger remotely using the godox triggers..

I agree. I recently sold my other flashes because I found this one powerful enough for most situations I shoot in

 

[Bobsyeruncle]

Strange.

I would but every time I look at one I think to myself...it's almost the same price as the 860II, actually the V1 is cheaper....and then found myself with 2 bigger flashes.

Do you have a link where the v1 is cheaper than the 350?
