Thank you for your excellent review and video, drasko2015. After studying your review and Jordan Steele's Admiring Light I took the plunge and ordered the Canon 70-200 F/4 lens and a Viltrox adaptor.  The adaptor is worth its price even if it didn't auto-focus very well, but I'm pretty impressed with that too.  A smart adaptor is so much better that the cheaper dumb ones.  The camera and Lightroom recognize the lens data, including automatically setting the focal length for IBIS, which works quite well.  This Canon L lens is awesome, and even 1x1 crops from my A7M2 look sharp and colorful at F4 and up. The look of this great glass is spoiling me, and now I want more lenses that can give me a similar look.  I have a feeling this is going to get expensive!

Your welcome and thx for support! Canon has some of the best glass ever and prices are in a really good range compared to sony. We can only hope that the new FE lenses that are announced will be priced lower, but i wouldn´t bet on that.

I'm new to the site and just saw this post.  I have that Canon 70-200 lens but haven't tried it on the Sony yet...I'm definitely going to have to try it out now!  I've only used it on my 7D.

definetly go for it, its such a great lens for the price

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
