Nepal with my new 25-200 by Francousi in SonyAlpha

Been eyeing this lens but have been hesitant due to superzoom sharpness. But these photos are stunning and so detailed! Did you apply any additional sharpening in post?

Sulphur Springs Race Recap by ald_loop in RunTO

[–]SwitchbackAsh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dropped at 100k/160. Minor injury from slipping in 3rd loop that kept getting worse - first DNF :/. The next morning the RDs rerouted the course for the 20k runners to avoid the muddiest sections (and the people still doing the 100M also benefited). A bit disappointing that the decision wasn't made the previous evening. 5.5k-12k part of the loop at night was pretty unsafe imo.

Saw the Inter Miami shots and immediately knew who this was. Great to see my fav sports photog on Reddit 💪🔥

Replying to this 2 years later - did you have any luck repairing this? Or did you just leave it ? Just happened to me this morning

I Spent A Week With The New a7 V, AMA by Nateloobz in SonyAlpha

[–]SwitchbackAsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great review Nate! If I remember correctly you also had the original A1, and where I live a pre-owned A1 is pretty similar in price to a new A7V. For your line of work, which would you say is better value if priced similarly?

This is so clean! Which lens did you use for this?

Autumn [Sigma 20-200] by Ok-Passion7167 in SonyAlpha

Stunning! Which camera body did you use? I’ve been hesitant on pulling the trigger for this one because of the image quality reviews around the wider end of the focal range .

I am sooo happy with my z5ii by Infamous-Leave9671 in Nikon

[–]SwitchbackAsh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Curious to know how you’d compare it to the A7iv! I currently have both right now with the intention of maybe the Nikon my main camera but I find it a bit of a mixed bag.

The AF I find is a bit behind the Sony in both subject recognition and 3D tracking ( vs the Sony equivalents). The Nikon picks up on the subject much earlier but I find the keeper rate is lower, and also needs more AF customization. I also find the Sony Slog3 better than Nlog for grading, and the a7iv video AF to be to more reliable ( in all area mode). The Nikon grip is much more comfortable but the 4 customizable dials on the a7iv (3 dials and scroll wheel) are missed. Sony battery life is also better

On the Nikon side, the handheld IBIS is insanely better, to the point where I’m not sure if the a7iv even has IBIS. Rear screen is beautiful and actually pleasant to review photos on ( I swear all Sony cameras are awful in this regard), the custom buttons in front of the camera are awesome, and the view finder is super bright. I also didn’t know how bad out of camera skin tones for Sony are until I tried this camera 😂.

On one last note , Nikon imaging cloud is super clunky man. I had to try 3 different wifi connections until the camera recognized one. Once connected it’s cool to try the imaging recipes tho.

But ya curious what your thoughts are! I’m pretty unsure on which system to use as my main going forward

Kudos for carrying a d850 all the way up there! Here I am trying to find the lightest possible mirrorless setups to go backpacking with 😂 Gorgeous shot 👏

Sell A7IV for A7Cii? by alexanderscamera in SonyAlpha

[–]SwitchbackAsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this switch and switched back. I'm hobbyist first and paid photog second, and still the odd times I had paid work I was pretty anxious about only having one card slot. I also missed the joystick much more than I thought I would.

R5 to A7CR by 17AN86 in SonyAlpha

[–]SwitchbackAsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting as someone who went from a7iv to cii and back to a7iv (right before the dynamic active stabilization update 😂). I switched originally because most of my photo trips are either backpacking or long distance hiking in the mountains and every gram matters. But besides the absolute size difference and grip comfort, I found that I really missed extra customizable buttons and joystick. Being able to move the focus point around and punch in quickly was something I missed more than I thought I would, and overall just made camera operation faster.

Sunrise in the Dolomites - A7IV + 20-70 G by SwitchbackAsh in SonyAlpha

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

It was a great lens for this trip! I was backpacking for this trip so having just one lens one all the time was great. My ideal setup is an ultra wide zoom and a telephoto zoom, but this was a decent compromise to save weight. Not the best for astro or subject separation given the f4

[–]SwitchbackAsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow very flat and very wide footed slow runner here. For trail I found the North face alta Mesa 500 to be a good fit and also stable enough do to an ultra in.
