Seems like a nice camera. My problem with it would be that it has only one control "thumbwheel". It's also not weather sealed.

Is a A7R2 worth buying for $1000 new? The local camera shop will throw in a Snoy 50mm 1.8 too. How does the AF on the A7R2 compare to the recent models?

Af is poor. R models don't get pdaf.

I'd like to hear /gear/'s resident pixel peepers' opinion about this 100 % crop of unprocessed raw file. Is it just me or is this zoom lens (>>3920971) a bit soft at its wide end?

Is the canon ef 24-105mm f4 lens worth getting? I shoot mostly 40mm and 100mm and usually at f5.6-8 when I'm using my primes. It seems solid and would allow me to not have to bring additional lenses when traveling.

Depends where you live. I've seen better deals on dedicated camera gear forums but I haven't seen anything nearly this good locally. I'd buy it.

Look up some online reviews. In general It's very common for zoom lenses in that range to exhibit this behaviour. They're either soft on wide end and sharp on telephoto range, or the reverse, or they're soft on both, and sharp in the middle.

I've watched a few more reviews and I think I'm going to get it, need to wait a week for my paycheck but it's been available for almost a month so should be good(sellers who misspell the name of the stuff they're selling are a blessing).

can we talk monitors? Do I need a 27", or will 24" be fine. And if its 24" will there be any benefit from getting a 1440 monitor, or can I go with a 1080 (or 1200 in a 16:10 aspect ratio)? My desk is only about 60cm deep, so I'm going to be fairly close, so I'm not sure if 27" will be too big. Also, its much cheaper to get a 24" that has decent coverage of wider gamuts.

27 1440, 32 4k, 16:10 if you can find, ips for angles and colors, va for blacked

get the 27, moving your eyes to see monitor extremities is actually good for your eyesight, same for the neck

Okay, thanks for confirming. Mine seems to be slightly on the first category, however personally I don't think it's a problem for me. It's pretty obvious that some compromises had to be made on optical quality due the light weight of the lens (185 g). It's even lighter than the DA18-55 APS-C kit zoom.

Guise, need your help. I'm going hiking for a couple of days next monday and realsied, I won't have fun lugging my nikkor 200-500 around. Need something smaller for wildlife.
Budget is up to 1.5-2k usd. I'd have rented but it's going to be my bd and I thought I'd treat myself with something I will be actually using.

It's not about weakness. I won't be able to use a tripod and sit around in one spot all day, so I need a lens to carry on a harness or a strap that is not too large, that I can just grab and shoot.
200-500 isn't such a lens.

Like this anon said >>3922031 those are plasticky but light enough and are pretty sharp, i would lean towards the Tamron for its build quality and stabilization although i think it is not as corrected.

don't listen to >>3921722, he has no idea what he's talking about. the a7r ii has pdaf. af is worse on the ii series though, vastly improved on iii and up to be class-leading af, as well as battery life. much more worth it to spring for an a7 iii or a7r iii.

Posted in wrong thread. My b

looking for a cheap set up for doing video portraits for Instagram and Tiktok of pretty women frolicking in grass fields.

Right now I have Fuji XH1 but I’m not really invested too deep since I only use the Viltrox lenses. I fucking hate the autofocus, it loses the model even when she’s literally standing still.

I was thinking staying Fuji and getting the XS10 with a Weebill S, but wondering if the autofocus would really be that big of a step up for video. Otherwise, was thinking an a6400 + Crane M2 with a cheap Sigma.

thoughts on sigma?
looking at getting the 14-24 2.4 and the 35 1.4 for my d750.
Also after something like a 50-100 or thereabouts but not finding much. My tamron g2 24-70 might have to be enough.

Alternatively 70-200/2.8 + 2X TC but that will be a heavy lens to begin with

Currently thinking about getting a beater camera for the odd climbing photo/using around the crag - I normally run with an a7iii, but desu I'd rather save that for any commercial/gig/video work and not have to worry about breaking it.

I've already got an old canon 70-200 f4, any ideas whether an og 6d and a 24-105 would be alright for this sort of thing? Not had much experience with canon and don't know how hard wearing they are.

I'd like to submit test photos for calibrating a lens for Chromatic aberration.

I've read the instruction at https://wilson.bronger.org/calibration. However the article doesn't mention the focal lengths/apertures that should be used for the CA calibration photos. Should I take the photos at max. aperture or stopped down? I have this cheap zoom lens that I feel could use some CA correction, especially at the wide end. Pic related is a 100 % crop at f/11.
