Alf&I

Good Morning from Bangkok!

 

I - that is me, I'm from Germany and just started travelling Southeast Asia on my own for a year.

Alf is my new Boyfriend, Sony calls him Alpha 6000, I prefere Alf!

 

I just bought him a few days ago, before that I had an older Alpha Beginners Model, but that one was just to big for traveling, and I wanted something way faster.

I actually don't have a clue about photography, but thats something I want to change during that year of traveling, so I'm seeking help in Forums and from Books now.

(Also, if anyone is in Southeastasia and willing to teach me some things or just go around an take some pictures, pleaaaaase message me!)

 

Currently Im only using the Kit Lense, and it will probably stay that way for two reasons, one: I'm poor as f**** and second: I'm Travelling with only 30 liters of Luggage, so there is just no space. But before you tell me that is stupid...don't, I'm just learning this! I will save up and buy a few good lenses in a year or so, but until then, I will go with the kit lense, everybody has to start somewehre, rigth?

 

So, Im hanging on some Pictures here, and if anyone is willing to give me some Kritics about them, I would be so thankfull to you guys!

 

 

Anyway, enjoy your day, even if tis Monday!

    • 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
