Considering this is the "Bird in Flight" category, your last foto qualified by a razor-thin margin only  ?

No, just kidding. Nice shot and interesting moment of the flight. I assume it's the landing, as he is still carrying a twig in his beek?

1971. Nikon F. 35 mm camera. Kodak Kodacolor 125 Film. Montauk, NY

I don't remember the settings. It was scanned from a 3.5 x 5 print at 180 dpi about 30 years ago.

I've completely gone over to Sony after using Nikon since the 70s. I have the A7RIII. It is an incredible camera.

Looking forward to seeing how Sony works.

I've shot Nikon for 10 months. They lost me with the Z offerings - where's the innovation?

It's a desperate attempt by Nikon to catch up to Sony. But, they have a long way to go. I love my A7RIII.

Ok, this one's a bit different. Hand-held digiscoping with Swarovski STX85, 25-60X Eyepiece at 25X, Sony a6300, Sigma 30mm f2.8 DN at f2.8, Digidapter. EFL~1300 mm. 1/1000 sec. ISO 3200. Shooting 10fps helps a bunch, as does rolling focus ring that helps with extremely shallow depth of focus. Distance 15 feet.

Went on a pelagic cruise - a day out to the edge of the continental shelf on the Southern ocean.  Shot 3,300 frames.  In firmware 4.0 I don't think expanded flexible spot is as good as Lock-on AF.

This is a Shy Albatross - wingspan up to 2.5m.

    • I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you. 
    • Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
    • 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.
