Hey!!!  I was in the market of getting a new camera, it was either getting the Nikon 3200 or Sony Alpha A6000.  I ended up going with the Sony Alpha, and so far im loving the camera.  The type of picture i want to take or focus on would be car events, car meets, scenery, and maybe some portrait.  I would greatly appreciate any pointers or tips in taking some awesome photos and also what kind of lens ya'll would recommend to take pristine and clear photos.  One of the first lens i was looking into getting was the Rokinon 8mm 2.8 fish eye lens, any thoughts or opinions on it?

Welcome aboard, you certainly made the right choice. Website often make camera comparisons based on price. The D3200 isn't in the same league.

 

It looks like you'll be doing a wide variety of photography so there are really no quick answers.

 

8mm is almost as wide as it gets. What subject matter were you considering it for? Please keep in mind the photo will be distorted. Is this your intention?

I guess you have made the right decision on choosing the lens.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      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
