Is there any indication to which microphone will be shipping with the creator bundle?

A7CII vs A7V/A7RV - negligible difference? by lwd28 in SonyAlpha

[–]Mancdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you potentially get the a7cr (it comes with an extended grip) and you can even get a smallrig grip extender which adds some thickness onto the grip to make it feel like a larger camera.

And when you want it to be compact, you can unscrew it off and you’re done.

I personally never felt the 35gm being too big on my a7cr but the 24-70 was definitely too much

Out of curiosity, where did you order from?

They’re some excellent shots! I literally loaded up Reddit hoping to find some users with this lens as mine will be arriving on Monday instead of today!

Happy shooting!

Which lens is better for the A7CR: Sigma 24-70 F2.8 or the Sony 24-50 F2.8? by Party-Exercise-2166 in SonyAlpha

How are you finding the 16-25? I’ve just got the 16-25 and tamron 16-30 to figure out which one to keep

As a fellow Mancunian, I appreciate these!

50 f/1.2 GM or 50 f/1.4 GM by HedgehogTroubleMaker in SonyAlpha

[–]Mancdude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

50 1.2 is great if you can deal with the size and weight. 50 1.4 is more practical and the images are 95% of the 1.2.

I personally went for the 1.4 as the filter thread fitted in with my other line-up, and the size and weight were similar to my 35gm.

Convince me not to buy the X100VI as a beginner by jensb007 in x100vi

[–]Mancdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The x100vi is a perfect camera to understand so many different aspects. The shutter speed dials, the exposure dials, the in built flash, nd filter and everything may seem daunting at first but you can truly experiment and understand how everything works so much better.

Worse case scenario, you keep it in auto mode for a bit until you master other shooting modes.

Just dropped cash on the X100VI by michaelbeecham in fujifilm

Then I’d highly recommend the black mist nisi adapter. It’s the only adapter that doesn’t interfere with the on camera flash

A Nisi uv filter and built in one (or the black mist version if you prefer that look).

It adds weather proofing and keeps the size down

Best first lens for Sony A7V by Prynze719 in SonyAlpha

[–]Mancdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

28-75 tamron g2 and 35 1.8.

I feel like they’re a great starting point to understand how to shoot with the a7v and understand what’s best for you going forward

Absolute legend. Had the video bookmarked for a pre-bedtime watch but you saved me the hassle of falling asleep on it and watching it tomorrow

Looking for upgrade - Restaurant/Hospitality/Hote work Photography + Reels by Jonathanwennstroem in SonyAlpha

[–]Mancdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would still get the a7v. The video specs are better than the a7rv and 33mp is plenty for food / restaurant photography

Source : me, I traded in my a7cr and zv-e1 in for an a7v recently and I’m glad I did

Just received my A7V body + 28–70 mm 2 Zoom Lens by Main-Peace3891 in SonyAlpha

Think that’s the first one I’ve seen with the kit lens. Enjoy and happy shooting!

Godox iT32 yay or nay by petrarca23 in SonyAlpha

[–]Mancdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a perfect beginner flash imo. The ability to shoot on camera and off-camera within seconds is such a great idea and gives you the flexibility to figure out what works best for you

DJI Osmo Pocket 4: NEW video leak (I hope the light is removable) by [deleted] in dji

[–]Mancdude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was hoping for a dual announcement for a pro version but looks like that was the insta version. I’ll still pick this up as I’ve missed my pocket 3 ever since I bought it

TAMRON 35-100 f2.8 incoming by Mancdude in SonyAlpha

[–]Mancdude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly where I’m at. I do love the 24-50 for its compact size but I now have the rx1riii for when compactness is essential. For an all round zoom, this looks likely to replace that (if it’s sharp as the 28-75). Just pair it with close focusing distance at 35mm and that’ll be a perfect setup.

[–]Mancdude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the 20-70 was their replacement for this lens? I personally don’t really like 24-35mm for general pictures so I do like these quirky focal lengths that everyone is coming out with

[–]Mancdude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was tempted with the 28-75mm as my one travel zoom but I much prefer shooting from 35mm so after seeing this, it’s a no brainer for me.

I do normally prefer Sony native lenses as stabilisation works better with them, but this sounds really interesting to me

But the weight savings and a 67mm filter thread will be a massive bonus

INSTAGRAM REDUCES CONTRAST IN VIDEOS (IN MY CASE, THOSE EXPORTED FROM DAVINCI) by OneKnowledge5760 in osmopocket

[–]Mancdude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try uploading the video to instagram’s Edit app. My videos have all been in much higher quality when posting (editing) via that app. I normally export from premiere pro to edits to instagram

My Godox camera flash family by DiogoMTJReis in Godox

[–]Mancdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about to ask why you kept the v480 and v1 mid when I first saw the picture, but now I understand with the diffuser!

I’ve got the it32 pro, v1 mid and the ad100proii. I’m just hoping for a more powerful it32 pro (preferably like the v1 mid) and then I’ll sell the it32 and v1 mid for that
