I am on the fence as to the best upgrade from Nikon D810.  I professionally photograph hotels, architecture, interior design mostly using Nikon PCE 24mm and PCE 19mm.   I also shoot video with Sony FS7, so looking for a solid B-cam/ smaller kit for travel shooting 4K video.  I currently own the wonderful A6500, use mostly for video on EC-1 Beholder gimbal.  I am very close to buying the Sony A7RIII over the Nikon D850, but I have not been able to find an adapter that allows using my two PCE (Tilt Shift) lenses with electronic control of the aperture.  (AF not a concern with these PCE lenses as they are manual focus).

I suppose I could manually set my aperture, but I still have not found an adapter that claims to work with Nikon PCE lenses.

 

If someone can tell me my Nikon PCE lenses will adapt to the A7RIII with full functionality of the aperture, or be workable for architectural photography, I will probably buy the Sony A7RIII.  I know the D850 would be awesome for this, but I do a LOT of video work and A7RIII is better for that.

 

Thanks!

      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
