wow great photoshop skills, if u never said u put the sig in there i never would have known. great job. i recently aquired photoshop cc2017 to open my panasonic raw files. i need a photo shop for dummies book haha,,,,,,,,im sure they make one.

Youtube...all you need.

My wife discovered a Batis 85mm sitting on our porch this evening. Annoyed that the seller didn’t ship insured, which means it didn’t require a signature release.

But, no actual harm done and I’m relieved to have the superb Batis 85mm back in my Ruggard dry box. Looking forward to shooting it in concert with the FE 35 1.4 and Batis 135. It’s a nice portable native prime “trinity”.

That’s a shame. I ship everything insured for the full with insurance, it may cost a little more, but that’s the cost of doing business. Even when shipping an a9 insured, it was like $75i think, but worth it for the piece of mind. I believe the usps attendant told me that anything under $500 insured doesn’t require a signature.

Good to see you are thoroughly enjoying the 12-24. When the 24-105g gets here
I'll puzzled on what to do with my aged 16-35/4. I think it still has a place though if only
for Sun stars.

You went prime trinity and I went trinity zoom

I gotta say, the flare resistance is much better on any 16-35, however, the extreme angles that the 12-24 provides = magic. It's very sharp and clean, hard to believe sony made such a great lens that's small and light.

I've shipped a ton of stuff over the last several months, all fully insured and I go with FedEx which is a penalty itself financially but of all the items I shipped nothing was lost or damaged and several recipients told me that it was packed better then many things they've recently received from B/H or Adorama. Piece of mind and no hassles is worth a lot when selling items I think.

The FE 12-24 is just proof that Canon and Nikon could have but didn't. When we think about the last slew of FE lenses they are all home runs. Jury still out on the 24-105 and I realize it is a compromise from the get-go with that big of a range but my gut says Sony will again deliver the goods.

Sony made things really painful for us with two incredible wide zooms. Big pluses for each one.

Every now and then I get tempted to get a FE 12-24mm, but I feel good with just CV 12 and Loxia 21mm, which are both pretty freaking great imo.

I'm completely lost on what to do for an UWA solution because there so so many good options

Carlo I don't think you can go wrong
Just choose if you want AF or manual.
I assume the CZ and Loxias are weather sealed?
Those two both have a size/weight advantage but the 12-24
really is lightweight for what it is.

Ah, that’s a bummer. Understandable though. I have a friend in the KC area (metro over 2 million population), but he’s just enough on the metro outskirts that he has total crap for Internet. It’s crazy because most of the KC area was first to get Google fiber years ago.
