Advice - Olympus 1000mm f11 E.Zuiko Auto-T Lens

Sony A7ii | Zuiko 1000mm Lunar photography seems to be its niche. Generally it’s very slow so quite tough to use with film… you need to have a fairly decent shutter speed to counteract wobble even on a tripod, which is tough at f11. You need a good tripod and you’ll still get a decent workout as you

Newbie in the Film World—Help Me Decide: Macro Lens or Scanner?

Setting up macro photography IS fiddly. Also how much better it will be than a good scanner will depend on many variables - just to name a few the lens, the stand, how stable your table is, how sensitive the floor is to vibrations and most importantly how patient and careful you are when setting up.

Is there anyone who has used both Sony and Olympus cameras?

I have the a6300, a7ii and a7r4. On the Olympus side, I have the OM-1.ii and E-P7. I don't use the kit lens on the Olympus cameras - I mostly use the 12-40/2.8 PRO. The Sony kit lens is shit, and the kit lenses I have for my older Olympus cameras are excellent, and so are samples I've seen online fo

Is this an upgrade or a downgrade?

Well, as said, it’s not that the first gen A7 is inherently bad with AF, it’s definetly way under the later versions (th A7II is a BOG upgrade in that compartment). Is a really different way of shooting than a DSLR and needs some getting used to. IMHO, if I were to go on a lighter everyday carry, I

A7ii related buying advice?

Depends on the condition of the camera - if it is in excellent condition then that is about what they sell for. The value of the A7ii swings up and down -- it was released 11 years ago. I have an A7II, amongst other cameras. If I were starting all over again then I'd have a good look at the Nikon Z6

Why are EVFs so bad?

(...) there's room for both. (...) I completely agree. I'm only stating my personal preference. It's perfectly understandable that many people prefer MILCs, not least because of the fantastic capabilities of object-based autofocus modes. I kind of disagree about the detail difference in frame (...)

Considering switching Nikon to canon

I would have to agree... maybe. I have owned DSLRs (nikons and canons). My first MILC was the A7II followed by the A7III. As soon as canon came out with an MILC in the form of the R I jumped ship. I have to admit that there are a few expectations I had for Canon that disappointingly did not material

Sony a7ii viable 2025?

Recommend A7III for better eye AF, dual card slots and same battery model as used by A7IV. A7II eye AF can't tracking eye of moving person. https://cameradecision.com/compare/Sony-Alpha-A7-III-vs-Sony-Alpha-A7-II

Need help!! Please help me decide the camera?

Recommend A6400. A6400 and A6600 has similiar AF feature. Both have eye AF in photo and video. A6000 and A7II eye AF only in photo and can't tracking eye of moving person. https://cameradecision.com/compare/Sony-Alpha-a6600-vs-Sony-Alpha-a6400 https://youtu.be/WiLYCwcGrZg https://youtu.be/s9_YmwOS8G
