Hi again,

One thing I forgot to mention (but you are certainly already aware) is that the sensor format of the A7III (any A7 really) being full frame will require you to also change lenses. The E...

I believe this is a similar phenomenon to a rainbow, i.e. light reflecting on water/ice in the atmosphere.

Good shot!

Stef

Hi,

May be too late to chime in but I think you should consider what you are trying to accomplish first...

A7R3 is about resolution (large printing, heavy cropping, etc)
A9 is about speed...

Yes, it was incredibly hot around here too last week. Over 40C for several days in a row. No A/C...

Nice dragon!! I was hoping for a fire hydrant myself ;-)

Cheers,

Hi Wally,

Good story about Sony servicing their customers well. Nice to know and hopefully this is the new "standard".

Happy shooting,

Stef

Good that you fixed the problem and nice of you to close the loop.

Happy shooting...

Stef

Hang in there Gramps. I guess in a few (days/weeks/months) you'll probably say it was worth it.

But I hate the thought of pain. Hope never having to go through this...

Wishing you the best...

Hi Gramps!

Luna park by night is nicely illuminated. Looks like you were at a high elevation, looking down.

I suppose those shots are out-of-camera JPEG; they seem a bit underexposed. If you...

Beauty details and bokeh, very nice shot!

How far away were you from the bird?

Funny how many structure types engineers can come up with when they have to build a bridge. Almost never two alike...

The Sydney bridge is a nice one. Don't expect to ever see it with my own eyes...

Cool photographic journey. I prefer the shot of the structure (#4) but the most unusual (to me) is to see all the vehicles driving on the "wrong" side of the street. ;-) Just my cultural bias but...

Gramps, if you were able to take pictures with the card, I don't understand why the camera would not read the card back.

Did you try to take the SD card out of the camera and read it on a PC?
...

I tend to agree with you that APS-C is typically plenty good (vs full frame). It depends on the photography you like.

Full frame has an advantage in low-light (high ISO) and can blur (bokeh) the...

It's a good thing to have an investment plan, even better to know "why" ;) Good for you!!

I have seen many photographer friends just plunge and buy on impulse only to realize later that it was a...

Nice shot, great focus and "expression". ;)

Cheers!

Great news Gramps...

New lens looks to be sharp. Last picture is my preferred because of 3D effect on main subject.

Are you using manual or automatic focusing?

Stef

Great aim Jay!! Actually a close-up of the reflector on the outside of the front turn signaling light. That thing is really shinny, I had to position myself carefully to grab this shot. I was quite...

Looking forward seeing some of your pictures using the new lens, matched to Alfie of course!!

Regards

Great results Mike; I like the glow and colors you got over the dark backgrounds.

Stef

Good stuff Gramps, looking good.

Getting the fly with manual lens is impressive. Promising first steps.

Cheers!

Great news Gramps. Looking forward to your discoveries :-)

Regards,

Using a reverse ring attachment is perfectly valid for macro work in my eye. Likewise for using extension tube(s) or even special front-filters. How you get increased magnification is not that...

I tried this lens for an architectural project in late summer 2016 on an A6000.

As I recall, the configuration included a Fotodiox adapter, which transmitted EXIF data and worked well. The...

Hi Doug,

Looks likes sensor dirt to me... it doesn't seem to match what we can see of the lens front hazing pattern, which appears real tight.

You could give your sensor a quick cleaning... ;)...

Hi Doug,

In your tests, try various apertures, from wide open to mostly closed on near and far subjects. You are more likely to see "something" at high f/stop, including eventual sensor dirt.
