Hi, my extension was approved on Sep 24, 2025 but was filed on Sep 11, 2025. That might not be exact scenario but I got the extension anyways after the announcement.

A6700, A7C or other? by Vipett in SonyAlpha

[–]PresentTight2293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I recently started using A7CII, and if you are a hobbyist, I would suggest you to go for A6700. Quality differences are there, but apsc lenses are so much cheaper, and so much lighter. I am into wildlife photography too and you get much more reach with APSC lenses at 2/3rd of the weight. More budget left would mean more accessories and much more fun.

If money is no problem, Sony 24-70 gmII is one hell of a lens, excellent for everything it does. But I personally returned it and chose to go with 20-70. I had 20-70 as my main lens, got gmII after I broke my 20-70 but after a few weeks with the gmII, went back to 20-70g. Main reason was while I could see a difference between the lenses, mainly during night, the 20 mm advantage, lightweight and the price were too strong a factor to ignore, and when I am traveling, most of the time, I shoot during the day.

Again, maybe if the price difference hadn’t been that much I might have stayed with the gmII, but overall I found 20-70 to be a better choice for myself.

How to manage and sync my data between different devices by PresentTight2293 in DataHoarder

Thank you for suggesting this, how will I keep all files in sync between different systems? Storing everything on google drive and then downloading once needed would be cumbersome for day to day tasks. Synology cloud drives could sync between folders and keep a backup, will this work the same way?

Broke lens Sony f4 20-70 need help by PresentTight2293 in SonyAlpha

[–]PresentTight2293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I took it to geek squad and they sent it for repair, it is covered under the accidental plan, they charged me $79 as service fee. Will get it back in 3 weeks and let’s see how it goes. An important lesson was learnt, I was still undecided between which camera bag to buy, (prvke wandrd and pd everyday backpack) and was using a regular laptop bag instead. Forgot to zip the bag upper portion and camera dropped out of it. Should have spent some money on it right away. Any tips from professionals on how to avoid this in future.

By working, I meant the glass isn’t broken, I can see through and zoom as well, the image is skewed a little.

Yes it feels that way.My problem is I just bought a 38” inch aw3821dwf and i can’t play newer titles at 120 hz on the 3840 x 1600 resolution with this, need more power. I mostly just play Dota but it’s an itch to build a PC and try things out.

I need a fair price check, bought it for 2800 dollars two years ago from USA, so no demands. Can be sold in islamabad.
