Not yet, but I am quite tempted... I have enough to buy the body already. It's only available as a pre-order from my favourite camera store. When it comes out, I'll let you all know whether I gave in to A7 lust or not. Meanwhile... the X100T is sitting in the store on a shiny shelf... temptation again.d0dg3r wrote:Did you actually pick up a A7II?! How is it?
Yeah, it definitely is. However, if I sell Canon gear, I lose a little bit of money. Also my Canon glass will mount on the Sony because epic flange distance. I like Sony for the above reasons and also because it's a nice small FF body, but I prefer larger bodies for work due to comfort and appearance. Fuji is simply lovely for the images that come out of that. I probably won't get an interchangeable lens system from Fuji yet, so that saves me some cash.d0dg3r wrote:Playing with three different systems/mount (Sony, Canon, Fuji) is expensive!
Except my Pentax takes amazing portraits. The camera/lens combo I use simply has so much personality to the images, I'm in love. Indeed I do. It's my only mirrorless system at the moment and the autofocus is slower than my mum's driving, but the 40mm that lives on there has a wonderfully short focus throw. Combine that with focus peaking, I can manual focus in half the time compared to AF. Also got a K-mount 28mm (or 24?) that I throw on occasionally that's quite sharp, but only manual focus. It's a bit harder to MF so I tend to delegate it to landscape duties.d0dg3r wrote:Haha you have a Pentax as well?
Yep, started my business a year ago or so. I've been doing mostly events, but I want to head into portraiture territory. I admit that I find taking cameras out for fun is more exciting than getting photography jobs though.d0dg3r wrote:And you use your camera for work? Are you a photographer?
have you given long exposure photography a try? use a tripod and a longer exposure, and your torch to light up the tunnel. if your facing the portal just be careful not to overexposepeterh13 wrote:Ive got to get a better flash unit as Im a railway tunnel fan and the onboard flash just can't cut it.

Using a flash is not a bad idea when you don't have enough light. Just bounce it off something to soften it a bit.peterh13 wrote:Nice pics. So much better without a flash. Im going to try that.
Do you have Flash compensation, I turn mine down to soften the brightness if needed or push it to +3 if needed for larger areas etc.Midget wrote:Using a flash is not a bad idea when you don't have enough light.

Im really to too sure about flash compensation. I'll have to get back to to you. I haven't had the camera all that long, only since xmas and Im a bit slow to learn.Unclehaggz wrote:Do you have Flash compensation, I turn mine down to soften the brightness if needed or push it to +3 if needed for larger areas etc.Midget wrote:Using a flash is not a bad idea when you don't have enough light.

I'll need a seperate flash unit for the bounce thing which is what I really want. Hopefully get one from my wife for my birthday.Midget wrote:Using a flash is not a bad idea when you don't have enough light. Just bounce it off something to soften it a bit.peterh13 wrote:Nice pics.
