Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Random question here but when I'm shooting in Manual and look through the viewfinder the pic is obviously dark. Is there a way that when I'm in Manual mode when I look through the view finder it's exposed okay?
Almost as if it was in Aperture Priority.

I have a Sony A7rIV

I've never tried real British or Irish bangers, pork sausage with rusk and spices, so I've ordered a few from R. J. Balson & Son. I didn't order from their store in the UK though, they have a brother here in the states that makes and sells them online. I've also ordered some pork back bacon to see what that's like as well. My order will be shipped early next week and hopefully, all goes well and I like it. Hey, it's pork, what's not to like.

Here's a shot of their storefront in Bridport. Established in 1515, it's the oldest family owned butcher shop in England. I found this image on Flickr and posted by Tim Russ.

You'll need to turn on/off the "Live View Display". On one setting, the viewfinder shows you exactly what the sensor will record and the other will show you a properly lit view in the viewfinder, even if the scene is very dark.
I highly recommend Mark Galer's free e-book that describes all the cameras features.

Here's the page in his book that covers what you need. I control that by adding it to the function menu. You could also use a custom button.

Went on a short work trip this week and managed to get a couple of keepers.

I love it when I get gassy..... I have a great set up of lenses and cameras and other accessories. I think for the first time since I got back into photography I really dont "need" anything but of course "want" is a different story. This year the 40 1.2 is on the list and i would still love a tilt shift option but for other fun I could......


Sell the 100-400 $1800 and get the 70-200 2.8 @2600 ....and then the 200-600 @ $2000. To make room in the bag I need to get rid of stuff so the Tammy 28-75 @ $700 would probably go as well as the 90 macro @ 700 So a net of -$1400

I might need to revisit that 70-200 but I thought when I had it for a few days I loved it. Love my 100-400 but the 1.4x tc lives on it and that makes me question if I shouldnt just get longer in the 200-600

Just fun gassin

Yeah, that’s what I would do if I kept the 1.4x on all the time.

If I get an opportunity to buy another lens this year or next I also want that 200-600mm. My primes fill the gap between the 12-24 and 200-600 and I like the symmetry of extreme zooms flanking both ends of my kit’s focal range.
