Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Thank you, although your fly pics the past few days have left my jaw on the ground. Such detail and color!

Shooting the peacocks in back-to-back mini-sessions with a different lenses told me pretty much what I already knew:

--the Minolta 200G delivers the goods even with the 2xTC.
--The 135ZA delivers even better overall IQ.

I had to sharpen the images from the 200G some, and the 135ZA not at all.

Those peacocks are a trip! They strut around a few blocks of the downtown area like they own the place! It is a true breath of fresh air for such a depressed town.

Interesting to see the same comp with wildly different light.

We're going back up with the Saw-whets migrate, that patch of boreal forest between where you parked and the overlook
should be prime habitat to find one-flash needed

The team at phillipreeve have done a nice job compiling a list of all native Sony lenses.

Love it. Great light. Would be incredibly cool pano at dusk with a game on.

Joshua and I already decided to go back when the dodgers are in town.

I'll have a few more to post from last night still, after it got dark and the building lights came on.

Never tried it. I tend to have trouble with early mornings, which is why most of my shooting is at sunset.
Maybe one of these days. Let me know.
