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

Fish, Catania fishmarket, A7RII, Loxia 21mm.



This trip to Catania was really the first time I had the opportunity to use the Loxia 21mm in anger, and it is mighty impressive for such a diminutive lens.

Thanks, lucky timing I guess, it made me laugh out loud when I processed it!

My favorite flying camera captured with my favorite ground-based camera.

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

Mike one of the happiest day's of my life was when I traded my Vision 2 away for a transmission job for my vehicle. I just never could get comfortable with the possibility of a unexpected fly away and the resulting lawsuit I might get if it flew away and crashed in a school playground or whatever. I had to go through 3 of them with B&H to get a half decent one and only flew it a dozen times over a year in a half till I found a good trade for it. Worse purchase I ever made and was surprised B&H sold them being as their QC was so horrible. I never returned anything to B&H prior to that piece of junk.

A spring picture taken in the vineyards overlooking Sion. A few days ago, I noticed that my favorite tree along the "bisse" (aqueduct) in the vineyards was blooming. Alas, the weather has been bad for the whole week and the forecast didn't look better, so I decided to try some pictures nevertheless, while the tree was still in flower.

A7rm2 and Zeiss Batis 25mm F2. F4 ISO400. As you can see, that lens finally was in stock here.

I took a similar picture last autumn in October 2015 : https://flic.kr/p/zxws6o but with a longer lens, the FE 55mm F1.8.

I know what you mean. I still have a Phantom 1, that was really more of a kit than a finished consumer product, in spite of their marketing it as a ready-to-go thing. But so far, I have to say, the Phantom 4 is drastically better in nearly every way than their earlier efforts.

And it doesn't hurt, in my view, that Apple now sells these in their retail stores.

I think her plight is directly linked to having to sit in close proximity to those men! :ROTFL:

Mike I was in Cabelas the other day getting a Ken Onion knife sharpener and was surprised to see a half a dozen or more various drones for sale in there. Makes I had never heard of and half the price I paid for that DJI.

I just don't think civilian gps is good enough or reliable enough for drones to use for flight guidance. Sun spots and system resets just have far too much effect on these systems which can move your home spot miles away in a second throw its guidance system to take flight on its own.

Lovely shot! I much prefer the newer image and its wider angle.

Alex, my eldest son. I took the shot a couple of days ago in London for a mag cover relating to a new startup project you will all find out about soon :)

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

Same tree as yesterday, seen from the other side. Alas, the light wasn't helping. May be I will have better luck to-morrow (they are announcing a little more sun and perhaps there are some blossoming flowers left over). This path along the "bisse" (aqueduct) is not of people suffering from dizziness, but for those with a sure foot.

Re: Fun With Sony _____

Earlier this week my 8 year old and trusty Sony A700 came back from a 3 year "loan assignment" with my brother-in-law. Since today was the 100th day of 2016 I decided to put on my Minolta 100/2.8 macro lens and see what I could find with a tour through the garden. I had forgotten how much more quiet the A700 is vs. the A850. It was a real joy to use. So while A7's seem to be the latest and greatest (and almost the norm in the Sony section on GetDPI) the A700 can still bring back some nice shots as well.

100-1: Magnolia Stellata


100-2: Budding leaves from a Hydrangea


100-3: Grape Hyacinth


100-4: Another hybrid Magnolia (liliiflora ?)


100-5: Still in the bud


100-6: Yellow and burgundy
