Hello From the Valley of Virgina

Hello and I am glad to have found you. I have been a nikon shooter since the very early 70s and have a full range of lens and bodies.  The new D5 came out and for the first time I put myself on the list to get it but will have to decide if I really want it or if I want a A7Rii and start to build that kit up.  I doubt I will sell the Nikon stuff in the beginning but who knows. I just recently got a a6000 with the two kit lens.  It is odd using kit lens again and I am used to fast glass but I wanted to get the feel for the mirror less. I am right now leaning toward a two kit system depending, a MF for the studio and the Sony for everything else. I rarely shoot sports but shoot much more in the dance and portraits and landscape.  I live in a very pretty place and will be moving to a prettier place with a pond and 40 acres soon.  

 

I am sure I will have questions on adapting the Nikon lens and or making the jump.  

 

Here is a shot I took with my sony a6000 this morning as the fog and the rain and the mist was parting. I look at this every day as I sit in my office or walk out the front door.

    • 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
