I moved from the Sony A100(a mount) to the massive jump to a A550 to A580, my memory leaves me on some things) t the A6300, which I liked but jumped at the A6600. Massive leap in autofocus. Then my bride surprised me with an A6700 and my A6600 is never touched. if you decide to go to a point and shoot, there’s one or two of your lenses there might be some interest here.

I take my CPL filters everywhere.

What lenses do you have for your Sony A6xxx? I own the A6700 and A6600 but am considering selling the A6600

In my dreams. I’ve considered the new 70-200 f4 as it adds some macro capabilities. My grandkids that are into ice sports live in Buffalo NY and I’m in West TN. They are both on travel teams and it’s hard to find time when they are both in the same place, sadly.

Dave, I have considered this in part due to taking photos in inclement weather. Do you think I’ll use the 70-350?

Somewhere I have a similar photo taken about 25 years ago. On the top of one of the glaciers were a pair of eagles. One benefit of having a long lens.

I made a similar post 6 months ago and I’m now a month away from my cruise and starting to get nervous about packing. We will spend 3 days in London followed by 12 days on the cruise ship visiting numerous English, Irish and Scottish ports. We will also have one day in Leharve and will visit Normandy. I use Sony ASPC gear. I’m planning to take my A6700, Tokina 11-18 f2.8, Sony 18-105 f4 and Sony 70-350 lenses. Add to this circular polarizers, batteries, charger, memory cards and a bit of cleaning gear. My reasoning for the ultra wide lens is for interiors of the many historic buildings we’ll visit. The longer lens is simply for the few long shots I may have. I was a Boy Scout and feel I’m always prepared. I also live near Lensrentals and can rent any lens without shipping costs. Appreciate comments, suggestions and criticisms.

A lightweight monopod with a Wimberly gimbal is the Cat’s meow when using the 200-600. I believe the model gamble is MH-100

I have Sony ASPC cameras, both A6600 and A6700. I own a Tokina 11-18 f2.8 (a steal at B&H for $400), Sony 18-105 f4, Sony 70-350 and the magnificent Sony 200-600. I’ve considered replacing the 18-105 for the 18-135 simply for the smaller size. But I’d have to also replace filters and such. I’m happy with the 18-105 and it’s a G lens, although a few years old. I’ve considered selling my A6600 as the A6700 is simply so much better.

I have a bud that works for the national weather service. I pestered him endlessly trying to decide which of 3 states I was going to visit. Luckily, it turned out to be the nearest one. On the 3 hour drive, it was cloudy but an hour before the show started, the clouds parted like the Red Sea did for Moses.

You’ve convinced me. Just got home from Central Arkansas photographing the eclipse. Wow is not descriptive enough.

I initially struggled with Lightroom but hired a private tutor to come get me over the edge. A 2 hour session did wonders for me, especially in setting up the file structure. One area I struggle with is the healing tool and understand that photoshop handles this far better. i also use Topaz AI and find its a great addition to remove noise and to sharpen a pic with a bit of blur.

Compulsive? Really?

Thanks. While I didn’t say it, my real question was whether I should take my 70-350 lens. Given the crop factor of my A6600 and A6700, I’m going to leave the longer lens home. One lens that was never in question was my 200-600 😉

Thanks from a fellow Tennessean

Thanks!

Trying to see actual photos of our upcoming stateroom for our September cruise. Room C741?

Taking my first cruise abroad. I shoot Sony APSC gear and am curious what lenses to take? Without any knowledge otherwise, I’m taking two bodies. One with my 18-105 f4 and the other with my new 11-18 f2.8. I’m taking both bodies for two reasons. First, in case something happens to one. Second, I can have each lens mounted to its own body so I don’t have to switch lenses on the fly.
