Hmmm, been thinking I may move mine on.
You got the Fuji bug. Couldnt sell mine, I got that feeling as soon as I listed it, didnt sit well with me, will get rid of loads of accessories I have I dont use. BTW 50-140 is incredible!!

Let me know if you do Jonathan - my next spending spree on camera gear will be in a couple of weeks (I hope).
@twist - do you use an external mic for video? Any recommendations?
I have a Zoom H1 that I'd use to record, but would like a new lavalier for what I have in mind. I have the Audio Technica, but the battery can be such a pain I'd like another.
I think he only does it because he cares and he does seem to have valid points and always seems constructive rather than just being a serial knocker. And there are people like that out there.These days Thom just seems to whine about Nikon, doesnt stop people buying them. I think that as the camera business shrinks manufacturers are cutting corners.

There certainly are!
I sometimes do work for a Japanese company working out of Thailand. The cultures and practices of the three nationalities involved (me being a Brit (sort of,) the Thai's and the Japanese higher management) are rather different and do cause issues so I can relate to some of Thom's points. Sometimes you can see the problems coming but the Japanese just don't seem to learn or change.
Am struggling to actually upload a photo here..how? What code before and after link?
Go native, the FE70-200mm f4 G OSS is a smashing lens [emoji106][emoji41]Seems the Sigma MC-11 does work with Canon lenses (at least some of them).

This gives a dilemma. Sony 70-200 f4 or Canon and MC-11. Decisions

My Sony GAS is on hold for now due to a car order lolThat's what I will do. I tried the Sony a couple of weeks ago and was really impressed with it.
Def the next lens on the list for me
My Sony GAS is on hold for now due to a car order lol
Wow. What settings was that at Jonathan?
@200mm?Wide open, 1/800 and 500 ISO
@200mm?
Great shot...talk about breaking the rules (no eyes) and it working
I'll take a guess it will kick back in as soon as a few 70-200 f2.8 reviews surface
Thankfully I have no interest in cars any longer (spent enough on them in the past lol). Like my camper to much to have anything else. Which car you ordered?
My GAS is on hold for a few weeks as well, as waiting for quite a large sum to come in. As soon as here I'll get the f4 though, plus a few other bits I have my eye on.
On a different note, I ordered some prints this week from DSCL. First time I've used a lab and really impressed with how they've come out and how good value they were. Just ordered a load of mounting gear and ordering a few more prints. The Missus likes them as well so is busy editing a load of her shots to get done as well. I can see me and the Missus competing for wall space quite soon
About the only use I ever make of a phone-camera...for insurance purposes

I'm about to order a new car tooMy Sony GAS is on hold for now due to a car order lol
Ordering a car is worse than GAS, especially with the options list lol.I'm about to order a new car too
What's the lens on the right? The 35 f1.4?
Which one jonney?Ok so it looks like canon finally have a sensor that matches the Sony!
Yeah which one?Which one jonney?
80d and 1dx mk2
How's the dynamic range?
The rumor site reports good financial news from Sony, which I suppose is good news for Sony users and continuation and expansion of the system. There's a financial report PDF you can download if sufficiently motivated...

Not strictly A7 series related but I wonder if they're doing better they'll ever improve the A6000 series lens line up? Looking at the Sony A6000 series, Fuji and MFT systems IMO the Sony lens line up seems easily the weakest... IMO... and for enthusiasts at least. Whatever, I'm probably too much invested in MFT now to change.
And while I'm going off thread... I read a piece on Thom Hogan's site which made me a little worried about Nikon...
http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/more-troubles-at-nikon.html
I started my SLR life with Nikon many years ago and although when going digital I went with Canon as everyone said they were the best (at that time...) I still have a soft sport for Nikon and for me they always seem to have more elan than the (IMO) rather pedestrian and staid Canon, and the rather tenuous link to A7 series owners is I suppose that this all goes to show that the camera business seems to be a tricky business to be in theses days although some company woes seem to be at least to some degree self inflicted.
