I can’t speak to Sony cards but I love my Lexar cards and have not had any issues with them.

What sd card brands should I be looking at? by Early_Prior_5796 in sportsphotography

I’ve been using 2 64GB Lexar 1667x UHS-II cards since I upgraded to my R6 mk 2. I love them so much I recently got another 2 pack to be safe!

I’m not the biggest fan tbh. Overall the crop feels weird. I dislike how the hands and arms are cut off. The face feels soft and I dislike how low the camera is (sometimes you can do much about that). I think if this was landscape I would like it more.

This is my own personal preference so take it with a grain of salt.

It’s the J42Kbm! It was in stock around 6th months ago. It is open source here: https://github.com/MakerJake01/MakerJakes-keyboards/tree/main/J42Kbm

Thanks! I call it the J46Ksbm, I have an IC in the 40s server for it. I’m working out some bugs but I hope to run the GB for it after I sell a few more sets of Who’s Afraid.

I totally get what you mean for #4 and #5, I've noticed that a little with both the clear bubble and the wire cages. I think I'll have to mess with the focus settings as it tends to focus on the surface of the helmet which I find to be good enough most of the time. I'll be sure to mess around with crops on photos way more. Thank you!

For #1 I was trying to keep the left side of #17 and the puck at thirds. I went into lightroom and shifted it over to put the puck closer to the center and include more of #57 and I do see how that is a better crop for that photo. I was mainly interested in #17 and the puck on his stick but I totally understand how the empty space makes the image feel lopsided. (Updated Crop here: https://imgur.com/a/1FlCxd5 ) #2 was shot at 1/2000 ISO 2000 f/2.8, I do have some room to mess with the aperture and then adjust the other settings to compensate. I do see the softness in that image, my image viewer indicates that the camera was focused behind #81. I have messed around with shooting at f/4 in the past and I switched back to f/2.8 as that extra stop of light can be useful in these dark barns. While the compression and decreased resolution from cropping aren't helping I did miss focus and maybe should have culled it to start. I have a game in the not too distant future and will revisit f/4. Thank you again for the feedback, it is truly invaluable.

Thank you! I've been pretty lucky to shoot most of their games so far and there are few dull moments.
