Hi all,

I recently got a 50mm 1.4 GM and took it out on a walk this morning, and looking at the photos I noticed that the right side of the image was blurry? It didn’t look like bokeh but more of a smudge, I shot these at 1.4 and the left side of the image looked sharp.

Once I stopped down to 5.6 it got better, but am wondering if this is a lens issue or should I step down to 5.6 for these shots? Thanks!

hi everyone! i am about 2 years into wildlife photography and i am thinking of upgrading my lens! i currently shoot on the sony a7iv with a sigma 100-400mm f5-6.3 lens. i have been thinking of upgrading to the sony 200-600mm for a while. i specialize in owls and shoot in the PNW so lowlight is inevitable but i have been managing fine so far with what i got! i have seen some concerns about detail using the 200-600 and honestly detail is my fav part about my shots! i love being able to see all the tiny details and feathers! obviously with birds and especially owls you cant get too close so i had wanted that extra length. anyways, is this a good choice? can i get good detail? do you have any other suggestions? thanks!

these are some of my shots on my current rig, yes i am getting good stuff that i am super happy with but i would like to get consistently better shots with more ease. the shot at the end of the NOPO is not as detailed as i would like even in superb lighting because he is tiny and far.

Some places are worth visiting even at night. I photographed this one in nearby open air archaeological museum. Hope you'll agree.

Shot on Sony a7RV, Viltrox 27mm f1.2 Pro and with help of Syrp Genie Mini II pan&tilt kit. Edited in PTGui, Siril, PS and LR. Exposure info - 20 frame panorama, each at 10s, f1.2 and ISO 1600.

Pictures from my recent 8-day trek in the Fann Mountains, Tajikistan (Chimtarga pass loop).

The first picture is a composite of 13 shots, stacked separately for the sky (in Siril) and foreground (in Helicon Focus 9 + Photoshop).

Sony A7 IV + Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G

Following up on the backpack and gear found previously: after turning the items in to the local police department and contact Sony with the registered the serial numbers, notifying them where the gears are. The police department has contacted me to initiate the standard legal claim process for unclaimed property, and I will be collecting the items tomorrow.

I posted a few weeks ago debating a lens to get and was so happy with this sub’s recommendations and engagement!

I ended up going with a used, like new 70-200 G II Macro lens and a 1.4x teleconverter and wow has the lens basically been glued to my camera ever since. The versatility is insane!

Hope y’all enjoy my early attempts at macro and some evening sparrow pictures from around my neighborhood, I can’t wait to see what else this combo can do!

All pics shot on the A7V and edited in Lightroom mobile.

Looking for a neck strap if you guys have some cheap suggestions

Any tips are welcome!

Some favs from recent holiday. Open to feedback as I think I went a bit experimental with these.

Shot on a6700 + Viltrox 25mm.

Took over a year to get a picture of one... I hope I'll catch one in the winter as well :D

Hey,

I've been taking RAW photos for 3 ISH years since getting my a7iv, I've only just got a Adobe licence and started using lightroom. This was from my friends wedding but would like some feedback (first time doing this) on the actual photo but also the editing too. I was playing with colours and also B&W

I've got pics from 3 years worth of travelling the world so would like to know from talented strangers on Reddit how I'm doing so far.

Some were shot on a 35mm GM and a 90mm Sony (my fav lens idk why)

Thanks for any help

My most recent model test. Had fun shooting in a new studio with lots of natural light.

Took the 35GM (on a7CII) for a spin at Cima Presena, the sharpness and rendering of this lens is incredible. Hopefully my skills will someday catch up with the lens.

(what follows is a non-scientific personal opinion)

It was a bit of the journey to get the GM. Started with 24mm Samyang - nice lens, can't complain about the IQ for the money, but it was a tad too wide to have as a one-lens-fits-all. Tried the Sony 35 1.8 and Viltrox 35 EVO - immediately fell in love with the 35mm focal length. Viltrox rendering was nothing special, especially having all the hype in mind, it was no better than the Samyang 24, with maybe slightly better colors. Sony was ok, but, again, didn't see much difference in terms of quality from the Samyang. Then decided to try the 35GM, mainly to see if I'm maybe hallucinating and requiring too much from any lens. Well, it proved me wrong. There are lenses, and then there's the 35GM.

Hi, been shooting with Sony since 2014 (although loved my Dad’s old 60’s era Minolta) started with an a6000 and then moved 6 years to an a6600. Now I got that 6 year itch to upgrade to a Full Frame camera. The 7CR seems to fit the bill as it will still give me comparable photos with my aps-c lenses (have 6) and let me slowly upgrade to the Full Frame glass over time. Am I making a mistake? Looking for anyone who has done this route. All comparisons have been the a6700 and the 7CR. the leap seems more dramatic on paper from the a6600.

also have my eye on the Viltrox 26mm F 2.8 evo as my first glass purchase if I pull the trigger.

thanks for any and all advice!
