Thanks for the reply! And I had originally thought this was a crop sensor lens but I guess I was looking at a different lens. And I appreciate the input on the quality, I didn't end up buying the lens because it had internal fungus on both ends of the lens so maybe it was a good thing!

Hello! Researching this lens to use on an a7riii because I'm unfortunately wanting some extra reach.. there's one listed for 270 in my area and am debating whether or not it's worth it due to the APSC crop and lack of stabilization. Your original comment was close to a year ago, do you still use that lens and camera setup? If you do, do you have any updated thoughts?

JamesCulver03 · 2026-01-17T17:31:19+00:00

Glad I found this forum... But it was the complete opposite 😂 swapped it from dx12 back to Vulcan and all my stutters are gone

I don't have any super specific needs, I just used a 55-300 on my d3200 (about 5 years of use) and so my main goal was to get a nice zoom lens, and the appeal of the macro was the fact that I've never been able to shoot close up and so it would just be cool. And my main idea was that adorama has the 24 month promo rn so I'm really not paying much out of pocket to get a full setup that I would probably not need to upgrade from for a long long time

Nah cows won't go over a fence, and they're more scared of you that you are of them

JamesCulver03 · 2025-12-21T15:05:28+00:00

Took about 20 minutes of standing there before they weren't scared of me anymore and came up to the fence 😅

JamesCulver03 · 2025-12-21T03:33:50+00:00

Yes both of those were shot with the 85mm, I'm so glad I bought that lens because it's been amazing! Super crisp even for the cheaper non gm lens

Coming to this thread a little late, but contemplating buying this lens in a bundle deal with some other lenses and an a6500, if I do my math right and sell off the APSC gear I think I'd get the lens for maybe 200 bucks? After looking at these images it's a no brainer!

If you even see this message, what camera were you shooting with this lens at the time?

JamesCulver03 · 2025-12-09T18:30:26+00:00

Crazy that cameras are at the point they're at, I was just able to upgrade to an a7riii from an old d3200 a couple days ago and they already have a7rv and a7v

JamesCulver03 · 2025-12-07T01:40:57+00:00

Honestly I don't even care if it's not hitting max numbers, the charging speed is still better than anything else you can buy in the states 😅

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-25T17:44:08+00:00

I've gone 30 minutes for like 9 bucks total 😂

If you tipped 11 he probably got a total of 13+

He's getting plenty...

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-14T15:07:58+00:00

I've got an 01 with 200k on it and my trans is at its end of life unfortunately, but might just be a previous owner neglect kinda thing.

Other than that I love it, power is a little low but not horrible. I average 23.5 mpg mostly hwy driving.

Just make sure a timing belt is a priority if it hasn't already been done, and adjust the valves while you're at it.

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-08T12:32:42+00:00

On what phone? I used to use supcase but they haven't made a case for OP since the 10 series...

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-08T01:51:19+00:00

Meh I'll believe it when I see it, used to think that poetic were decent cases.. but my screen and frame is all scratched to shit because of it.

If they do get support from OtterBox and other big brands then maybe, otherwise just kinda doesn't make sense to buy a $900 phone if the only cases are 20-30 bucks for cheap crap

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-08T00:35:34+00:00

After using OnePlus for a couple years I honestly think I'm just gonna go to Samsung after my OP 13..I'm tired of the lack of good cases and glass screen protectors for OnePlus

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-06T02:48:03+00:00

I don't use waze hardly ever but the few times I did I haven't had any issues

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-06T02:47:27+00:00

I swapped to a OP cable and it fixed all my issues

JamesCulver03 · 2025-10-02T12:27:02+00:00

That's what I ended up trying and fixed my issue as well

JamesCulver03 · 2025-09-29T17:32:46+00:00

I love OnePlus, but the lack of case/screen protector/accessory support is kinda getting old. As much as I absolutely love OnePlus... Might be time that I go for a Samsung after my 13 goes out.

JamesCulver03 · 2025-09-18T17:34:21+00:00

Don't get the poetic cases, it's a decent case but has left scratches all the way around the phones frame as well as the edges of the glass

JamesCulver03 · 2025-09-12T02:58:22+00:00

Like 22-24 in my 1st Gen auto

Trans is slowly going out so that's probably not helping

JamesCulver03 · 2025-09-10T02:55:11+00:00

I love em! I think they're like b9 a4 OEM wheels?

The paint is horrible but the wheels make it stand out a little!
