[Did you get something fun for Christmas? Share below!]

@tonygale This drone looks amazing but it's way out of my budget, maybe if I start doing high budget projects, maybe something same price as the Mavic and the Mini, i keep forgetting about the global shutter, thats a game changer

[Did you get something fun for Christmas? Share below!]

@tonygale Congratulation in advance, I am thinking about it but I can't justify it yet, because I don't shoot sport much but would love to get the pre-shot feature on the a7rv, I got myself LA-EA5 to be able to use the Sony 18-250mm A mount lens, and thinking about upgrading my drone, I really wish Sony get in the drone game

[LA-EA5]

I recently got the LA-EA5 to be able to use the Sony 18-250mm A mount lens, it has a sentimental value because it's the lens that got my first published photo, I used to use it with the LA-EA2 but the mirror was damaged and I haven't used it for 6 years, now with the Sony a7rv that can give you 26 megapixel on crop sensor it can be used again and I love that  it's giving me 27-375mm which is a lot of fun

 

If anyone is using the LA-EA5, which lens would you recommend?

[A1 flagship lack of firmware update support]

I would love to see the re-shooting feature in the Sony A7rV, and some of the software features that just came out on the a9iii, if a feature is possible because of the hardware we understand the limitations, but if it's a software we should get it

Love your videos, keep up the good work

I love macro photography and you did a wonderful job in it, with the Iconic 90mm you get every detail, but I am like Caroline wants to know more about the diffuser 

[Need help with Sony 2.0X Teleconverter]

Thank you all for the responses, it really helps, I'm using Sony a7rv with the 70-200 f2.8 while now thinking about the 300 f2.8 but also would love the extra reach of the 200-600 still not sure

[Need help with Sony 2.0X Teleconverter]

Hello Alpha Universe,

I am thinking bout getting the 2.0X Teleconverter but I am wondering it it may effect the AF speed, or does the lens work as it supposed to?

Thank you

We used to have this beautiful place in Austin for people to come together and express their art on the walls, it was a great place for taking pictures, and the beauty of it it's always changing so you will never take the same picture twice, and then they closed it

Thank you for sharing

[Some favorite images with the A7cR!]

I think the next camera in line would be the a1ii or maybe the a9iii

[Sony killed it with the Xperia 1 V]

I totally agree with the trade in issue, it would be nice to get some good value of old one, specially they only give 2 years of android updates so you will end up needing to change the phone every 2 years or so

[It's a sharp thistle, in more ways than one!]

Beautiful picture like always, I've been reading and watching videos about the A7cR and it looks just like the A7R5 but lighter and no 8k and no tilt screen, I don't care much about the 8k but I like the tilt screen

I thinks they are really good, I think posing is good too, I struggle with male models posing, but I think your looks natural 

[Some favorite images with the A7cR!]

Great pictures, whats your own camera and what features the A7cR have your camera don't or vice versa

[Alpha 7RV 16bit video]

Thank you for the replay thats good to know

[Sony killed it with the Xperia 1 V]

I've always been a Sony fan and the only peace of tech equipment thats not a Sony is my phone, not that I've never tried using their phones, but it's always been the battery that makes me switch back.

First Sony phone was back in 2012 was the Xperia S, I was amazed by the screen quality but the battery would not last a whole day.

Second phone was the Sony Xperia z, I think it was one of the first ones to have water proof but also had battery issue that does not last long.

Last year I picked up the Xperia 1 IV, although it's a great phone, we all know about the over heating issue specially if you live in a hot area lake Texas.

This year I got the Xperia 1 V, and I honestly can say that this phone is near perfect, battery is fixed, never had any overheating issue screen is gorgeous, having a headphone jack and external SD card again feel really good, and the CAMERA is amazing even on basic mode, I think Sony finally did a phone that can be used by anyone not just pros,  in my opinion the one only have 2 issues , 1st one is the fingerprint reader not very reliable, and the second one is the location on the camera flash, and this one only an issue if you want to put a screen protector to the lens because the flash light will bleed into the lenses.

 

Whats your thoughts of the phone?

[What gear is on your wish list?]

Right now it's just the 

• 70-200mm f4 Macro G OSS II

Looks like a fun lens to have

[How many lenses do you own?]

The lenses I use the most is 14-24 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 and I believe these lenses will cover everything I need if I can have only 3 lenses, these will be the ones 

[A Series of Unfortunate Events....]

I dropped the 70-200 f2.8 while changing lenses and it fall head first, didn't want to pick it up because I was sure the glass is shattered, but luckily the UV filter took the hit and a big dent but all glass was good, from that point on I never leave the lens without the protection
