Try living London, it's a permanent problem, even when the skies are clear . Way too much light pollution

And that's why I love living in a dark skies area. Just need more cloud free nights like you get down south

Damnit! I sold my lovely 24-105 because they didnt!

I have a canon 24-105 and not all of the modes are available on that for some reason but the ones that are work very well.

Used my 85mm f1.4 for the first time for a photo shoot today. Loving it despite it raining all day!

24GM with Eye-EF = sharp in any occasion

Greebo · 14 Oct 2018 at 21:12

Eye focus on the 85mm felt like cheating today

The whole Eye-AF is like witchcraft.

Definitely. It meant every shot had pinsharp focus on the eye today unless i did something really stupid. Meant i could just concentrate on composition.

I did 2 shots yesterday, framed one shot with a static object up close with single focus point with a person in the background, then I focus on the person by just pressing Eye-AF without moving the focus point and it locked on.

It's like having 2 focus points on the camera and can go between them with 1 button press.

Finally got my A7iii back from repair. It was indeed the IBIS unit that had failed (no further details provided).

New Sigma 135mm f1.8 Art just arrived from Wex. Chucking it down outside so took this shot indoors.
A7Riii 1/60th f1.8 ISO4000. Just cropped and profile corrected in LR, I think I'm going to love this lens.

Got the 100-400 today so I did a quick test (I say quick, couple of hours ha) against the 70-200 GM (same tests I did with the F4 vs 2.8 70-200s and the 1.4x TC)
From 100mm to 180mm using the same aperture, iso & shutter on the two I cant tell them apart, The 70-200 goes slightly soft at 200mm which gives the 100-400 the edge. Wide open at 100mm (2.8 vs 4.5) and 135mm (2.8 vs 5) the 100-400 just has the edge as I expected, the 70-200 goes slightly soft but its only in the corners so could be my dodgy set up

Now to waste a few more hours throwing the sigma 150-600 in to the mix
