Hello to everyone

 

I'm new here and want to share my experiences and read about the experiences of other people. I use Sony cameras since some years, started with an Alpha 200, then Apha 57. About 3 years ago I changed to he A7 system and bought an A7S and now also an A7R II. I use some a-mount lenses via adapter and the SEL24240 and SEL2470GM lenses. Hope to get the 90mm macro lens soon.

Hi 

 

I've just bought a a6300 for a friend and she is having problems on Auto Setting with the colour not being vivid and the reds. blues don't pop.  It's all a bit dull and yellow.

 

What can she do ????

Welcome, I too have recently bought an a7R ll, it is a wonderful system but I am very new to the technology, coming, as I do from Leica M film cameras and optics and Rolleiflex TLR, but I am learning bit by bit and this forum is full of knowledge?

 

I found this a7R ll set up and useful tips very helpful

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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
