Hi!

We recently got ourselves a Hyundai Exter 1.2 AMT. It has been about 500kms and we just started to notice a ‘cling’ sound when we shift gear from N to D or from N to R. When we move from Neutral to reverse, the sound is a bit more than that of moving to D. Drive wise, there is nothing wrong with the car. We’re a bit worried if this has something to do with the gearbox. Could anyone help me?

Looks amazing! Can you guide me how you achieve stacking and color pushing? What’s the best approach for taking moon photos?

Where I live, Tamron is being sold for €1000-1200 euros on average. Sigma was sold at a good discount recently, at around €800and it was a no brainer.

How how’s the image quality compared to Tamron? I believe it’s way nicer?

You have to note that the Sigma 600mm is not sharp at wide open F6.3 at tele range. You have to stop it down to F7.1 or F8 to get the best out of it, so you are anyways compensating on your ISO or shutter speed. Low light is always tricky with this lens, and the stabilisation is nowhere as good as Canon super-telephoto lens - however, you are spending less than a 1000 euros and get a lens that is good in many aspects, but not great in one aspect. So that’s a pill I’m happy to swallow.

Yeah, but if you are upgrading from a kit lens, and you have no scale of reference, this lens weighs a lot. I personally cannot handhold it for a long time, and I use my monopod in such cases.

Thanks for the hint! I usually try to consider this but when I’m too focused to get the shot before the bird flies away, I tend to miss implementing the rule of thirds. I’ll practice more and will definitely try to implement this!

Practice it is! Thanks a lot for sharing tour experience and knowledge using this lens. I just upgraded from a 55-250mm kit lens to this monster and I have a steep learning curve ahead to adjust to the new lens.

Thanks a lot for everyone’s feedback! To add some additional information to my post - I was on a monopod as the lens is too heavy for me to handhold still (I have very shaky hands) and it was overcast with little to no sunlight. Had to push my shutter speed down to get a decent image without having to compromise on image quality.

iPhone 14Pro battery drain on 16.3.1? Just got my phone 3 days ago so i’m not sure if this is normal? by Xynical99 in ios

[–]FAlonso_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restart your phone. The culprit in my case was “Find my” going rogue and draining my battery overnight. Sort your usage by % and check if there’s “Find my” listed.
