aquabluedreams Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just got back from Africa and found the A7II, Tamron 150-600mm combo were just about perfect for safari shooting. Had my trusty Sony RX100II for anything that got close. Given most subjects are hidden in grass or trees manual focus with focus peaking was the best route and worked well. Welcome, dear visitor!

aquabluedreams Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thank you. On a previous trip due to rain we did not see one big cat. This trip it rained the first 4 days and looked like it was going to be a repeat but due to the hard work of a wonderful guide we found cats the last two days! Again the 150mm - 600mm on the A7II was perfect. http://aquabluedreams.com/#/gallery/africa-2016-hwange-zimbabwe/dsc09725/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLK Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Great images. What adaptor were you using for the Tamron? How was the autofocus performance, would it work for birds in flight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar_bulb Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Nice photos. Sharp color!! re GLK: not a great job to capture BIF. the lock-on focus not really working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquabluedreams Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Using the Sony LA 4, adaptor. I don't know if it would focus on birds popping up out of the brush but it was fine for something you could keep in the middle of the frame and just flying along.
