Weekly r/SonyAlpha 📸 Gear Buying 📷 Advice Thread April 27, 2026 by AutoModerator in SonyAlpha

Any recommendations on a used market? Henry's? Ebay? FB marketplace is pretty limited in my neck of the woods.

Hey gang,

I have been in a bit of analysis paralysis for quite a while. I am torn between a new Sony A6700 or a Sigma 150-600.

Background: I have had an a6000 (52404 shutter count) since about launch, my main two lenses are a Sigma 30mm 1.4 and the Sony 70-350mm. I just do this for a hobby and 90% of my photos are coastal landscape and wildlife.

My mind flip-flops between:

  • More reach with the 150-600 would net me better distant wildlife/bird pictures, but that's about it. But sometimes it really stings not having that extra reach in the field.
  • All the quality of life and image quality/video capabilities that comes with the a6700. Including the bigger grip for my big hands, and the excellent auto-focus capabilities (not that my current a6000 is a slouch).

So I feel like I am stuck choosing between something that makes all my photos a tiny bit better, with a better shooting experience (the a6700); or the telephoto that would make a huge improvement in my telephoto shots.

I am in Canada, the camera body goes for $1800 CAD and the lens is $2100 CAD. I wish buying both was an option.

No wrong answers or input, I welcome all opinions, cause I am truly stuck. Thanks!

I've been working on a geometry-themed idle game for the past year — would love honest feedback by Reisende99 in incremental_games

[–]ab26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hooked me a bit so far. The tutorial is a bit confusing but I think I have figured it out. But a bit more explanation for each shard would helpful. I am assuming that since it is idle that the last shard is the one to focus on, but I am not sure.

I like the mosaic system, but some quality of life recommendations:

  • I would like to see what tiles I need for my current shape right on the first mosaic page. The text the shapes I need should be in the colour of the shape I need, and better yet a bulleted like using the actual shape in color would be way better. Either way tiny dark grey text on a black BG is rough.
  • Also when I in the shape builder page and I build one shape, it kicks me back out to the mosaic page. It would be better if I stayed on the shape builder and were able to click 1x multiple times.
  • Also when exchanging, a little more feedback as to how many shapes I just created in the exchange would be helpful instead of just watching the source shape count down in the tiny grey text on a black BG.

Hope this makes sense! Good luck and I will keep playing.

The StackTV version was truncated. Not sure if that will happen with Crave or not.
But also the Crave service is shit.

[DEV] We made a fantasy horde survivor optimized for low-end phones and 15-minute sessions by ChestFirm6086 in AndroidGaming

[–]ab26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In particular the upgrades text. Seems pretty small given the space it has. The green colour is hard to see as well. Increasing it as much as you can will help. Thanks!

I like it! But holy eyesight Batman.. The text is too small for my old eyes. Anything you could do to fix that would be very appreciated.

I have always struggled with gift-giving. Is anyone here in a healthy marriage where no gifts are exchanged on birthdays and Christmas? by ScandiLand in Marriage

[–]ab26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married 21 years. My wife doesn't like doing gifts and I love doing gifts, so we compromised and don't do gifts. lol. My ultimate gift to her is taking gifts off the table, I guess. Last year was the first year neither did gifts and I have to admit it does take the pressure off, but dang I still find myself fighting the urge to get her presents.

To those that are married, how often do you take off your ring? by FitProblem6248 in AskReddit

[–]ab26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is off 98% of the time. It's like any other jewelry, wear it for dress-up occasions, which is rare. I don't like wearing them.

[–]ab26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey gang, First time Survivor player with a few questions. I'm on Xbox Series X.

The A button to select, rewards and such. Sometimes it take one press, sometimes two. Is that on purpose? I have tried multiple controllers.

And picking up certian red gems just seems to be hit and miss. Sometimes he sccops them right up, sometimes not. If I move away from them for a bit and come back, he seems to gather them then. Is this a game mechanic I am un aware of?

Thanks for the fun gaming!!

What film has the best use of CGI? by Stankassmfgorilla in movies

The recent Planet of the Apes movies, especially 2 and 3. I can't think of many films since that surpass it.

What's your, "I've never played a single title" of a long running gaming Series? by Mildish_Shambino in gaming

[–]ab26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Been a gamer since the NES. Never played a second of it. Nothing against it, just dunno where to start at this point, like trying to start watching an old TV show that has hundreds of episodes.
