After hearing people say the 180-600 isn't as good as the Sony 200-600 those look pretty fucking good.
I mean, It may not be, but I don't think the difference is enough that when you take real world shots; I'm very happy with it.
My girlfriend has the Sony lens and I can't tell the difference, but I think the Sony lens is the current gold standard.
So basically it's close enough to the point where it doesn't matter and you would only care if you look at MTF charts.

Went to Snug Harbor in Staten Island with the Fuji XH2:
These are great. It's hard to pick the right aperture for flower photography, but you nailed it.
Thank you. Flowers are definitely a challenge, but glad I did good. Was trying to balance out the flower with bokeh. Most challenging thing was the wind blowing stuff all over the place.
I attempted my first moon alignment last night. I only have a 200mm lens, so I couldn't be too far away from my target. I was across the street and down the block from Union Station in Worcester, MA for this, on top of a parking garage.
It was impossible to get a single shot that exposed both the moon and the building properly so I bracketed the shot and made an HDR photo in Lightroom. I stopped down to f13 to get everything in focus. In hindsight that was probably overkill. But I had a tripod so I could expose for a second or more. But I did have to crop out the waving flags.

Tried the 90mm f2 and it was great but not something I would/can use indoors.

Yup, I have the Viltrox 75mm 1.2 and other than taking a pic of a cat from across the room, it's outdoor only.

Work sent me to Serbia a few months ago, while there I spent a long weekend in Rome. My company chartered a bus and took us a few hours south of Belgrade to old churches a museum and a winery.

I have used it indoors plenty. It's just a matter of knowing what you want the shot to be.Tried the 90mm f2 and it was great but not something I would/can use indoors.

Thanks. Really fun city to take photos in as a beginner. Just so many cool looking locations that it feels like I barely have to try and I can still get som great shots that I'm proud of.
Heading back but to Okinawa in November for another 2,5 weeks, hope I can get some nice shots there as well. Thinking of buying myself something like the Sony 24-240mm for that trip since a 75mm prime is what I top out at right now and that wasn't always enough for what I wanted for some shots.
Droid's Discoveries 05 by SD Photography, on FlickrThis is a fun little series to add to when I'm feeling a little uncreative. I just throw the little guy in my pocket and see what I can do with him!

Great pictures there Xyber !
Some of the pics here really made me get the itch to try out photography again. I'm going on my first trip to New York City with my son soon for a couple of days, so I decided what the heck and bought a camera for the trip. I'm a complete beginner and my trip is towards the end of the month and I will try my best to do some street photography and video and see what happens. If anyone has really good beginner photography YT videos they want to share with me or just overall tips for Photography in New York City please share.
I decided on getting the Canon EOS R50 creators kit. I only ever had a Sony A6000 for a VERY limited time. Originally I was just going to use my phone (Galaxy Z Fold 5) my Tablet (Galaxy note 9+) if need be and was thinking of getting a insta360 Acepro and a gimball for my phone, that was my idea but I opted to get the R50 instead of the action cam for both video and photo.
I'd still like to get an action cam soon because I like to Kayak and bike ride during the year at home in Florida. I will get out there around town here as much as possible to shoot pics around town before I get out there.

A ManAnd His Steed by Tony Frattle, on FlickrI've been getting back into my toy photography and also learning stop motion. I did a quick setup on Sunday evening for this image.
Stalker by Tony Frattle, on FlickrOh, one more from the other day. I accidentally shot this in Jpeg so it limited my color grading quite a bit and actually turned out more blue than I wanted. I was in a lazy mood so I just went with it.
Very nice shoots you took there! Had to double take when I first looked at it to realize it was toys on the one with the storm trooper.
I've been getting back into my toy photography and also learning stop motion. I did a quick setup on Sunday evening for this image.
Thanks! Both of those were shot using the used Nikkor 55mm macro lens I grabbed last week. I adapted it to my canon so I can have full manual to practice more stop motion but it also seems to be an amazing toy photography lens. I love my laowa 90mm macro but I really want to put more environment into my scenes for toy photos.
My son has been collecting Legos since 5 and he is 17 now and he has so much Legos at home to do really fun Lego photography if we want but my son isn't much into shooting pics =/. Looks like your lens works perfect for what you want. I really liked the colors and lighting on both pictures.
The Walking Dead: Dead City production descended on my city of Worcester, MA this past week and I have been in my glory! I grabbed some of the best shots of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) out of anyone in the area thanks to the 70-200 GMII. 😂 The person who aged his gloves reached out to me to thank me for taking the photos and then shared my post of the photos. Truthfully, they are cropped in a ton, but the sharpness of the lens made it unnoticeable for social media. I felt like paparazzi with the big white lens. I was also the ONLY person there with a real camera.
But it wasn't all celebrities. Dead City is set in Manhattan, so they brought in a freaking SUBWAY station. And you could just take any photos you wanted. All the cars from the show were lined up on the street with the perfect background mural behind them. When do you get to see a NYC taxi in Worcester? Like I said, I was in my glory.
There are more photos here:
And the full complement of photos is on my Facebook profile:

They're shooting inside Union Station (the moon photo I posted recently is of Union Station) today, and I'm honestly relieved that I won't be able to take any photos. It has been a busy week...of my own doing.
And this is one of my favorites, inside the New York Post truck.

I took these in Spencer, Massachusetts last night. It was such an incredible experience. I was almost driven to tears to see it. Just unbelievable.
All photos taken at ISO 3200, 0.8s f/1.8 with a Viltrox 16mm lens on my Sony A7IV.
I also got a timelapse (longer one coming on YouTube Proper later):

Yeah, I have not heard great things about the 14-42. Let me know if you need any M43 recommends, I have used a bunch of the lenses. In terms of kit lens priced Lumix gear, I think the 12-60 3.5/5.6 is probably the best.
Thank you. I have read great things about the 12-60mm. Do you also have the 14-142mm and 100-300 mm lenses?
Been in the doldrums for a while -probably since christmas 2019 when we had a great christmas in Japan. Anyway, we had a new visitor to the garden yesterday and after spotting it the first time I grabbed my camera (OM5 with 75-300 so pretty basic) and kept by my side the rest of the afternoon. Liked how it came out -might play with some branches or feeders in the garden to get better perches
I have used the 100-300, but not the 14-142mm. The 100-300 is a very fun lens to use (I have used it on the G9) because it gives you extreme telephoto in a very compact package. It's definitely better resolution-wise at 100 than 300, but I've found the 300 perfectly usable.
I will say, I have the very cheap Panasonic 45-150 HD, and I've also been surprised by that lens. It's quite sharp and VERY light.
If you really want a wide-angle to mid-telephoto zoom, the best one on the system is the Olympus 12-100 f4, but that lens is heavier and more expensive.
Since this is the photography ERA thread, I will post a few images from the above lenses.

great photos and thank you for the infos regarding the lenses. Defintely will get the 45-150 down the road.
Thank you! I'm still shooting boudoir but I'm not posting them public as much. The whole model release thing was getting annoying. Sometimes they get into a new relationship and ask me to remove the photos, etc. I'm still posting some on instagram @rc_boudoir
Some shots from Times Square. Trying my hand at street photography! These were all taken with the 70-200 GMII on my Sony A7IV.
For the first two, which do you prefer? I am partial to the first one.
I call this one, "Taking it all in":
Anyone else like taking photos of people taking photos?
