The Sony A73/A7R3/A7S3/A9 Thread

Both good options but I like the look of the peak design strap more, still expensive at £55 for the lite version.

I think I'll walk around tomorrow for a few hours with the Sony strap and see how it feels.

Had my 100-400 on all day again today, something I couldn’t do with the supplied one. Yes the peak design isn’t cheap but no more bad neck / back for me.

Has anyone used the sigma art 35mm F1.4?

Found it for £40 so went for it.

Didn't expect it to be here today, only ordered yesterday at 11pm.

It was set to 5500K in manual mode, is AWB better?

AWB is fine, but in LR, use this tool and then click on items or areas in the photo that you know to be white in colour. Then tinker to adjust.

Seen that button but never clicked on it

Now it seems too white, will take some getting used to!

Too much green, move the Temp/Tint around until you get something that looks right.

1 - move the sliders until it looks right or look good.
2 - don't like it, go the opposite way.

Greebo · 12 Nov 2018 at 21:20

Just use the Auto function to start with, it produces good base results that you can then tweak. There is no excuse for notlearning the basics of lightroom when you can simply search for and use some very straightforward Youtube tutorials.
