Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Different angle and tighter framing than the previous image. I like this one as it's closer in the ice feature but still has the leading line. I hope to get out again this weekend. We'll see.

Lovely crop, Cory. I would probably get rid of the yellow part on upper right or darken it because it really draws my eye to it

My son said the same thing. At this point the image has been filed away not likely to ever be seen again! lol!

Thanks team! Super appreciate it. Gave them all a follow. Makes for good times seeing the videos on my work commute.

There's also Dan Watson who shoots (at least mostly) Sony, although he's a hybrid shooter.

A wider view of the hogback rock formations at Garden of the Gods. Notice the tourists next to the right grouping of rocks for a sense of scale. These rocks are huge.

How do you think that they should demonstrate AF? Certainly a real-world test would be ideal, but what they have seems to make sense overall, enough to see that it seems to fare better than the Tamron FE primes. The jury is still out (since the lens obviously isn't) but it would be somewhat tragic to find out that the third member of the trinity is dud (a bit like the SY50/1.4 compared to its wider and longer siblings); seems that things are chugging along well.

At least show me full res shots. Showing green dot and camera beeping doesn't tell you much. Been there done that. Like I said I can make my GFX do same even though its AF is much slower than any mirrorless. I personally take variety of shots, mostly moving subjects, even running at me. See how it behaves in Af-C with eye mode. I am pretty sure this lens would be good.

Something like Fuji GF 45-100mm f4, I can see it being more useful for studio shooters. Personally I hope Fuji will put out faster GF primes.

Well ultimately this is a preview of focusing speed, not accuracy, nor a full review. I think they wanted to dispel concerns that the lens might be focusing like Tamron's FE primes.

I'm sure this lens will be good as well, but I also doubt that it is being designed for sports/action either.

Thank you Jose! Not bad for handheld which I should probably do more often during the day.

to the contrary, I think it IS the designed for sports and action.

I recall the press release talking about the VXD motor is designed for fast focus with a quick drive. They mentioned fast autofocus many times in the press release, and unlike their other AF motors, this one is a linear drive. linear drive = sports, no need for circular rotation steps, push pull style AF motor.

I doubt that many sports shooters will keen on using a lens that's missing 20mm at the long end, at least for professional gigs.

Love that cold scene! We're due more rain this weekend as had been the norm for the past month.... I guess it's filling the waterfalls though for our Wales trip next week!

Love these scenes. Nothing like we have here at all.

Thanks Lee. These scenes are all new to me too. We didn't really have this in the Texas hill country either. The geology here in western Colorado is something else.
