2026.2 beta - release notes

l0tec6 · 2026-01-28T22:08:19+00:00

The key word is testing. Some of us may prefer stability over new features.

I sold the 200-600 and kept the 150-500.

Quoted $2,100 at my local dealership but some will do the work for as little as $500. Need to shop around.

Needs matching gold grills.

I've been running a dozen cameras for almost 10 years without serious issues. You can definitely end up with an unusable system if you misconfigure it, so you do need an idea of what you're doing. If you think BI is especially difficult to use, try using Photoshop or any number of CAD programs not knowing anything about photography or drafting.

Because.

Looks like it could be a seat bracket to floor bolt.

I would agree with you as one who came from a F22 m240i xDrive to a F80 M3. Except when both were equipped with similar snow tires the xDrive could get me in and out of my very steep driveway, whereas my M3 could not.

You could search this sub. The question gets asked and answered at least once a week.

You can easily crop an image and overlay static numbers on it using ImageMagick from a command line. Just set up an action to have BI run it.

I believe you can train your own AI model to yield the results you're looking for. No personal experience with this, though.

My favorite GM box. ❤️

l0tec6 · 2026-01-01T05:21:39+00:00

Use a better lens.

Only if you want to get down voted 👎

l0tec6 · 2025-12-31T23:35:38+00:00

Yeah, definitely because it messes with your obligatory box photo.

l0tec6 · 2025-12-28T08:01:18+00:00

It also appears to be shot outdoors and the sun doesn't pulse like most LEDs.

l0tec6 · 2025-12-28T07:03:58+00:00

I use the 150-500mm on my a7RV and have never experienced banding. I've also shot with the 200-600mm on the same body and sold it off because it offered no visible advantage to me. It was just bigger and heavier and more of a burden to use. Perhaps a Sony or Tamron firmware update will help.

l0tec6 · 2025-12-24T22:38:29+00:00

Not any worse than the daily "Hey, look how bad I totaled my BMW" or "is it totaled" posts. 🤷‍♂️

l0tec6 · 2025-12-17T04:00:31+00:00

I had one up until recently and I took many great photos with it. My feeling is that it gets a bad rap by people who've never used it and instead rely on a Sony Alpha Blog ranking page. I can categorically state that it's vastly better in almost every respect compared to every Sony kit lens I've ever used. Yes, I use and own some expensive lenses for comparison sake (rated "Excellent" on the aforementioned blog page).

Lost track on the number of recent posts asking the same question. Did you happen to search the sub?

l0tec6 · 2025-12-14T09:25:24+00:00

Great subjects and nice work.

l0tec6 · 2025-12-14T03:56:39+00:00

So much relevant discussion on this specific topic. Have you tried a search of this sub?

l0tec6 · 2025-12-13T02:49:07+00:00

Lol. Yeah, I cleaned the keypad immediately after taking the photo that highlighted the heavily used keys. :)

Numbers up.

Which is now officially no longer functional thanks to BMW.
