If you're not bothered by the weight, more difficult/expensive filter system, and loss of 5mm on the long end then there is really no reason not to switch to the Tamron.  Those are the only ...

It would seem I'm in the minority but when I'm buying an UWA lens I am more interested in extra reach on the wide end, not the long end. This is doubly true given that these lenses are typically ...

Correct, which is why I mentioned it might be good for him to post examples of "milky way shots I see by other photographers" to see if he's going for the accurate look or not.  If other ...

I do think you're underexposing by a bit.  Full frame (better ISO performance) and a faster lens will certainly help. As to PP, which I know is what you're really interested in, it's hard to lay ...

Thank you!! This one little tip solved all my problems.  I don't know why I hadn't thought of it, but I was just pulling out my lens, throwing it on there, and looking around in Live View.  Tonight ...

How reliable is the Eye AF on a rampant toddler?  I use an A7r for landscapes and a D750 for my toddler and was considering upgrading both to the A7r2 specifically to try and get more shots of the ...

Sony FN menu is very handy, but it is limited to 10 items and also does not allow some menu items to be placed there.

While it's far more relevant when you're shooting in M mode, it's worth noting that you can use the unused control wheel to control ISO when shooting in A or S, which is handy.

I dug an old T2i out of storage the other day and had totally forgotten that it only had one control wheel.  I'm really surprised the 7dii only has one as well, it's basically a professional body. ...

When shooting the milky way or other wide field night sky shots, the general technique for focusing seems to be finding a star in Live View and focusing on that. That works great when I shoot with ...

Thanks for the great replies everyone, I've learned a lot!

I recently sold a photo license to be used on the cover of a book. My first license sale! The book cover dimensions are 5x8. The person doing the negotiating on the sale was not the one that will ...

Thank you for the feedback everyone!  Really helpful stuff! With regards to #4, I'm aware of the 1/focal length rule, however I thought that was more of a guideline for what you could get away with ...

I tried my hand at shooting birds in flight for the first time with a Tamron 150-600 on D750 and came across some issues related to VC (IS/VR/OSS/etc). 1) The way I was primarily shooting was on a ...

I've seen a few people mention that Disney is only worth photographing at night.  Who's to say he won't be there at night? I haven't been to Disney since I was a child, but a quick perusal of ...

Low light AF was good enough?  I currently have the A7r and was thinking of upgrading to the mk ii primarily for the AF.

Good to know.  So is there a go-to spot for seeing how lenses perform in coma tests at infinity?  Sounds like maybe lensrentals, though that may be much more hit or miss as to whether they've ...

Unfortunately that's just the way it is in both of those scenarios. Dumb design by Sony, no reason for it. I can't believe they haven't fixed it in firmware.

?? Looks like they said the coma is pretty bad for FF, even if you stop down all the way to F2.8.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just got an a7r and couldn't believe it when I came across this.  Looks like this wasn't fixed in firmware (I'm on 2.00), is there any way around this. It's ...
