Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)

I was at the Hemingway Memorial where a very spoiled 2 year old chocolate lab had an entire tribe of human handlers fooled into thinking he was totally helpless LOL It was pretty hysterical. The humans were arguing about what to do and who would get wet. Happened to have the legendary Nikkor AIS 300/2.8 EDIF at the ready.

Of course about 3 yards downstream was a low bank and easy exit. ;)

I'm just in love with this incredible lens, which was produced until 2005, and cost 1450USD in 1985! It was a pro mainstay in the golden age of press photography, and makes the usual nikon build seem very very cheap. It is renowned for sharpness WO, superb bokeh, and very rich color rendition. Those are all hand held BTW, which is no problem with such a fast lens. A fingertip is enough on the internal focus, like scrolling your iPhone :)

I paid 625 including shipping, and it's easy to find a nice one in the 800 range, which is just a steal I think. Finally after trying many lenses I am happy at 300 :)

There is also an excellent Canon nFD 200/2.8L of the same era which sells for near identical prices. But it's already one of those puke white barrels which is both too self satisfied and loud for my taste ;)

Tom, PixInsight is a programme worth spending time on, I think. I tried the trial version. It is quite advanced but with lots of possibilities.

Thanks for sharing your experience! :)

Hello all!

It's fantastic to return to lots of fabulous images (and exciting new cameras) after a long hiatus in the Arctic. I spent the month of August in East Greenland and experienced some of the most rewarding photography and the most incredible light I've ever had the privilege to enjoy. When conditions were right, golden hour lasted all night - a photographer's dream! Here an example - more to come over the coming days and weeks...

Best,

Ron

You're right of course. PixInsight seems to be an unequaled tool when it comes to processing these types of images. I just wish the developers had made the UI a bit friendlier - it makes the Sony menu systems positively intuitive by comparison!

My respect for the Batis 25mm grows every time I use it. Its abilities far exceed mine.

Fun with a A7S and a Jupiter 9 (85mm) lens. Last of the summer wine gathering. I think they were all at f2. This lens for £50 quid or so, or a Batis.....
