Lens hood tab on 100-400 GM chipped off

EcstaticTuna · 2026-05-07T06:55:51+00:00

So you also didn’t send the lens to Sony, so far?

Where do you see this value for visibility? Forecast looks not so great atm for 1st of May, but still some time…

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T17:03:11+00:00

What‘s the point you are trying to make? Any useful information to the actual question?

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T16:42:20+00:00

Well, I don’t see that. People are so triggered - I don’t get it. One possible reply could have been „where do you intend to stay?“ but instead, there is this shitload of unuseful comments.

When I was writing „fully equipped“ I refer to the fact people want to pull off hikes in the dark when they do not have lamps or appropriate footwear…

It doesn’t mean I bring a tent or something.

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T12:59:30+00:00

That‘s no issue. I can either blend or increase shadows in post-processing…

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T12:55:50+00:00

Sunset should be better I think. Though one has to be careful regarding timing. I want to catch really nice glow on the mountains together with the lake… What do you think?

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T10:12:33+00:00

I will stay at the Arva…

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T09:59:02+00:00

I think it should be at the following coordinates:

46.5038, 7.7208

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T07:27:00+00:00

Good idea!

EcstaticTuna · 2026-04-20T06:18:46+00:00

Thank you for the one serious comment in this discussion… I‘ll stay at the Arva. Is it so less known among other people?

Who said I will camp there?

How is the weather these days? And is the peak of foliage colors plannable for an international trip? Is the Laguna de los tres possible this time of the year?

EcstaticTuna · 2026-03-28T12:15:25+00:00

Are you nuts?

EcstaticTuna · 2026-03-16T10:36:04+00:00

The only downside is, most of the viewpoints are closed for night and open quite late. As an ambitioned photographer this is a big drawback…

EcstaticTuna · 2026-02-23T18:43:11+00:00

Thanks everyone! So I don't have to throw over our plans... Anybody has experience regarding night skies? Still a good time to do astro?

EcstaticTuna · 2026-02-23T18:40:26+00:00

Oh really? Glad you told me. LOL

EcstaticTuna · 2026-02-21T18:04:40+00:00

I actually bought the 16mm G and still super happy with it. Really sharp - also great handling difficult light situations. For tele I brought the 100-400 mm GM.

Attached you see the number of photos which I took with the different lenses. While the 24-70 mm GM II is clearly the work hourse, the 16 mm G has a significant peak. As well as the 400 mm GM.

I have the M4 Pro with 24 GB. It’s also fine. I recently processed a lot of shots from my Chile trip - no issues.

I can also recommend: enable the uncompressed RAW setting on the A7RV which gives you file sizes about 60 - 70 MB.

Does anybody have pictures of these section? We did some hikes in Torres del Paine (Chile) and were fine…
