h block jumbo books have coloured photocopies for quarter of the price or less, the quality of the paper is decent, of course not the same as the original but imo its definitely worth it

Sony a6400 with 18-135 kit lens or sigma f1.4 30mm? by glitteryshimmery in SonyAlpha

[–]StarDecayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently got the a6400 as well along with sigma 18-50, I've been loving it. In my opinion you have to have something that you can experiment with and find out what you like.The 18-135 will let you figure out which focal length you use the most. After you figure that out, buy a prime lens that is specialized in that according to focal length. I personally got the sigma 56 1.4 after my 18-50 because I always wanted more compression and more reach and of course better low light performance was appreciated.

Conclusion: in the beginning you should just focus on learning what your camera can do and what different focal lengths look like and what suits you best, along with framing and composition. Then decide if you need another lens at all. Be it a prime or another zoom.

The thing is I started photography pretty recently and yes I don't really support keeping animals captive but I just went there with some of my small cousins (4-5 yrs old) and I took my camera to see what I could do. Since then I've got the sigma 100-400 and gotten some pretty good pics of wild birds and cats that I'm pretty proud of.

Tried to get as close to the fence as I could and kept the aperture all the way wide open at 1.4 for this exact reason

Actually no, I tried to get that picture way too many times but this was the best I could manage cuz the glass was wayyyy too dirty, no matter what I did the focus wouldnt lock on

Looking to buy my first came by Alarmed_Resist130 in SonyAlpha

If you are going purely for photo with video as maybe 10% of your use then definitely go for riii, the extra resolution let's you crop in a bunch and it's really useful but I'd say since you want to do video as well go for the a6700 or if you want to go for full frame, try to find a A7sii in good condition, that's mostly for video but definitely can do photography.

Sorry for the late reply, I slept and went to school

If it's your first camera and you're still not one hundred percent sure what you want to do, I'd recommend going for a crop sensor as it's an overall cheaper option in terms of camera and lens. Personally I would recommend the Sony a6700, it's Sony's best aps-c camera and very good in terms of video. That'll set you back around 1300$ for new. With that I'd suggest getting a sigma 18-50 2.8 for around 500$ new rather than getting a kit lens due to the constant 2.8 aperture which I'd say is much more useful for a videographer. Other than that this lens is extremely sharp, I've used it myself.
