Hi Folks,

My Sony a9 arrives some time today.  I also own a Fuji xt2 and love the classic chrome film simulation on it.  Therein lies my question as I would like to save some time...

I know there are many photographers on this site that own both Fuji and Sony cameras.  Am wondering if any of you have played with the Sony creative styles in Lightroom and found that one of them was close to the Fuji classic chrome simulation?

Thanks for your help,

Doc Wing

I have had the camera now for a few days.  As of now, my fave is Standard -1 contrast, -1 saturation, -1 and sharpening at zero.  I also prefer the AWB setting at A 1 and M1. Upon processing the jpg files I add via a preset clarity 17 and vibrance 17 as Michael Reichman used to suggest.  The files look quite good.

I have tried to match the jpeg  colors with the settings above, which I love by the way, on raw files in Lightroom and can't come close at all.

Hope this helps some of you.

After three weeks, I find that, despite my comments before, shooting raw works better.  Surprise!  Surprise!

 

i also prefer the  white balance setting awb atmospheric as it is warmer and more accurate than the regular awb.

 

The camera is fast and easily programmable so you rarely need to go the menus.  The eye AF is spectacular; I've been having a great time with it when shooting portraits.

      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
