Adapting the Nikkor 300mm PF with 1.4TCiii.
For big white bierds and plain backgrounds this combo acts as native.
And I consider it my pseudo Sony 300mm prime.

Another shot from when I tucked my Mustang in for the winter. After this I just put a battery tender on her and the cover on. She will soon be sharing with a rare 59 El Camino. I guess they made *4* fuel injected models in 59. This is not one of the 4, but it has been converted to FI with the proper parts.

Quick snap pulling out of my neighborhood last weekend. There was a cool haze just above the ground.

I remember back when I was in junior high school, my brother-in-law had a brand new Black '59 El Camino that came from the factory with a 348 v8 with three, two-barrel carburetors (3 deuces) and a 4-speed tranny that came with a Hurst speed shifter (4 on the floor).

i finally bought a legit light meter. i returned the lumu light meter. it's inconsistent.

i bought this..

So a couple days ago I made a comment about how good smartphone cams have gotten. Obviously there are still huge deficiencies in terms of quality and capability vs a true standalone camera, but they're impressive for what they are.

That said, I've recently been stumbling on a lot of articles praising these smartphone cameras with photos that are nowhere near as great as a typical photo I see people taking on ILC's. Yes I know gear isn't everything, but I think the whole culture of smartphone photography has diminished expectations of what a truly great photograph is....

my wife's XR it out for shipment, will be nice if it takes better photos.

This time adapting the EOS 400DOii to the a9.
The DOii is so good now on the Commlite I consider it 98% native.

Amazing patterns on the Blue Jays.

I have at least four hummingbirds vying for the feeder now. Here are a couple of them.

Do you see a significant difference in AF performance going from the a9 to the a7r III with adapted lenses? I know it's going to be worse, but I'm curious if it's worth the effort to provide an extra option.

they look good on the phone where it's smaller but when you view them in a larger screen thats when you notice the quality difference.
