Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

I may give the Airpods a try, the current style of earphones has some advantages and disadvantages. It's big but smaller than headphones. It's not really discrete and can't easily put away. What I like, I can't lose as easily, misplaced my USH-II card for a few days, had me freaking out . One ear use, simply let the other side dangle. Convenience of being with me. It's on my shoulders/neck all day.

I do have a set of headphones, but not my preference for workouts. Wouldn't wear these earphones either, would like something at a throw away price due to risk of damage. I run in the streets rather than a gym or indoors.

I still use my jaybird runs for outdoor runs. The fins help keep them in place while running. The 2nd Gen jaybird runs came out not too long ago so you can snag the first gens on sale.

I'm a fan of true wireless headbuds for exercise, but especially running. The fewer wires or bands you have on you the better.

I just don't run...LOL!

Thank you.
Here is another couple from the Kimbell.

Worked with the Riii+200600 this morning.
The Riii needs some work for this lens.
AF is slow in shade sometimes hunting...compared to the a9.
Something tells me the Riv will be an improvement.

Maybe a firmware update will help with AF speed.

Killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really is amazing how much detail will all those TC's stacked. Sony is smoking the competition in every way
these days.
Shalu did you ever play with the A7Riii and are you ordering the Riv ??

Thank you very much, Robert!
I have not tried any other Sony apart from my A9, but I am interested in a high pixel density camera. I want to wait till A9II and mini A9 announced before deciding which one to get next.

Made it back home in time from Atlanta to receive my new FE 100-400 GM. Can't wait to start shooting with it. Do you guys recommend the 1.4x TC?

Congrats Alfredo. I'm very pleased with both telextenders but especially the 1.4x as to me, there is almost no difference in AF speed with it mounted. I'm sure MedicineMan can give you a better recommendation than I can.

Thanks a lot Gene! I'll get one eventually. This lens also does well as a macro lens.

Gene you are smarter than me and know way more about photography....Alfredo should take your input.
But I can second what you said. The 1.4 on the 100400GM acts like it is integral with no speed loss and icing on the banana is incredibly little IQ lost.
Your only punishment will that stop of light.

Way hot outside now and a bit bored. Walked by the splash studio and remembered I'd left batteries in all 6 of the TT350S's.
And suddenly had a brainstorm. Why not take a picture and see if the batteries are ok

R3 + Zony 35/2.8.
Which begs the question to me (and only me), if this incredibly small lens it this sharp why am I even looking at 35/1.8. Just to
complete the trilogy (I have 55/1.8 and 85/1.8)??? Plus it would be ouch close to the Rok 45/1.8 pictured with is yet another gem
for size/weight/sharpness.

So Eddie, remind me again how you curb the GAS attach

Thank you sir! Sounds great. Other good news is I found my RRS foot for the lens.

Travis, I started the import process on my images from this recent trip. I feel better knowing my images are backed up now.

Thank you, David!

This one at 1680mm with stacking 2X and 1.4X teleconverters, handheld.

I agree, the new Sony gears are insane, can take a lot of abuse and still produce pretty sharp images

Awesome...can't wait to see everything you shot while you were out here.

The 2x works too...its f/11 but it works and is plenty sharp still. Bokeh is a bit nervous.

just looked those up...yeah, the DW would not be happy about those! She doesn't understand my affinity for fine music listening devices...and those would set her off! LOL...my headphones are Masters & Dynamic Over ears...I talked my way into them for Christmas a couple years ago...they were on sale...

Haha I tried to convince mine that these were the cheap $35 ones we bought from Miniso but sadly she didn't fall for them. She asked why I need a $400 pair when I already have a $400 pair of Bose headphones. I Asked her in returen why she needed to buy her 8k Chanel bag which she already had 3 other branded bags that totaled 6.5k :P haha

Good that you managed to talk your way into getting them

In my local area I am fortunate that there’s a shop called Headphonebar. Audition anything you want. My pair of Campfire Solaris cost as much as my Sigma 105 f1.4. In ear monitors (IEM) can match 20+ thousand dollars hifi systems easily. Realism and holographic sound is in a world of its own when you get into high fidelity IEMs. I haven’t even started on amplification and high bit rate music source! Don’t venture this path because it may be another means of thinning the wallet!!

10 dynamic drivers in each. There goes my budget for a GMaster 24f1.4 LOL!

Wow that's really expensive but they must sound awesome! How long have you had them? The only thing that would worry me about those is the wires going (which is what always used to happen with my wired headsets).
