Sony A7x lounge

Dang, that's nice. Other half let me buy a lens, but going to hold off, not missing anything in my lineup.

Ok Off TOPIC can someone who had the Canon 24 TSE explain the little lock type button next to the tension knob on the Shift function. The same button on the Tilt function says Lock but doesnt on the shift. Mine moves slightly but doesnt do anything and I only use the tensioner for locking.

What does that thing do!!!!

Need to explain the situation to a possible buyer

Shift lock only locks when shift is at zero. Tilt lock locks at any tilt angle

A7rii + Sigma 85

Some promotional theatre shots with the 135L

went out yesterday with colleague to test MF lenses

tilted Helios 77m-4

The 44-2 is the version you want, it's a exact clone of the Zeiss Biotar. Very sharp wide open.

77m-4 (50mm f/1.8) is way better than 44-2 (58mm f/2.0) considering production volumes - hard to find good copy of 44-2

I knew that I couldn't stay away from Sony land for long. I ended up selling my E-M1 and 12-40. Decided that as much as I love the system and how complete it feels, it was just missing a little oomph when I looked at the pictures. Admittedly I'm as hit by GAS as anyone I know (it was my 3rd time owning the E-M1, you would think that I would've figured that out by now, lol). Ended up getting the Pentax K-1 and a few lenses. For the most part I really dig this camera. Feels so solid, the limited lenses are dreamy, and everything about it just feels solid, including the heft of it. Body only with memory card and battery it's over 1,000 grams. I decided to return the 24-70 f/2.8 since between that and the body it's almost at 1,800 grams or over 4 lbs. Also after being disappointed with some soft shots, it dawned on me that I've been shooting Mirrorless for too long that I forgot about AF adjust. But getting back to it, the newly added weight will take some getting used to along with not having capable live view. I ended up missing some shots around the shots including the first few of my 2nd daughter learning to walk. I would've had that with a capable Mirrorless. So what did I end up doing? Ordered the a6300 last night, lol. Along with that I'm going to try and stop second guessing IQ and peeping. Sure the a6300 won't look as clean at iso3200-6400 (which I end up hitting since I'm shooting indoors in dimly lit living rooms all the time). But at the end of the day a somewhat noisy shot is better than a missed focus one (not having face detector more importantly eye AF has caused more than my fair share of misfocused shots) or shots I don't take since I can't get the camera up and ready in time. I've decided that I'm going to try and wear this new a6300 down till it break instead of recycling through cameras like they're disposable things. Maybe I'll finally wear out a shutter. I gotta use one instead of trying to baby it and protect future resale value. I decided on the a6300 over another a7rII because of the smaller/lighter size, the corner EVF, the supposedly better AF, the easier moving AF points when needed, but also I do want to keep an eye out on a possible a7iii, a9, or something newer that I'll probably won't be able to afford but dream that I need.

By the way to anyone here in this forum that is known I will let the FE70-200f4 go for 600 shipped / paypal'd It has a small mark that I never saw until i put a strong LED to the lens at an angle. I can not see it in regular light at all and it has never affected an image that I can tell The lens is good and sharp focuses much faster than the 70-300. I just need the reach of the 300 now otherwise would not be selling

FYI sorry for filling thread with a sales thing

straight out awesome!!

Guys, its finally happening! My A7S got a first bid and the CV40 is up for sale too. Now i just need to find my Fuji x100s' lens hood that i dont seem to find at the moment so i can sell that too. Maybe the FE90 will follow and not sure about the FE28 when ill be getting the RX1RII... But really not sure on the FE's, since one of them is crazy sharp, and the other quite inexpensive, small and yet a great performer...

Beautiful colors in this set Vinz. My only nitpick is that they all seem to be tilted down on the left a little.
