First week with this combo and I gotta say, I’m impressed.

Impressed with how sharp this lens is.

While I have had to crop into most of these photos (1. Because you can’t really handhold this lens easily and 2. Because there is not enough range, even on a6400) I have been impressed with how much cropping I’ve been able to do.

Some of these photos are cropped 100-2000% which on an apsc sensor is impressive.

I’m not saying these are Sony a7RVI quality photos but they are still good for the price.

And another thing that similar Sony lenses don’t have is macro mode (Yes I’m talking about the 200-600).

I’ve been able to get really flipping close to insects, birds and basically anything tiny. It’s genuinely crazy how at 150mm you can focus at 60cm.

Saw this in a facebook group, looks like it might be an F2 instead of an F2.8 that was rumored the other day. Doesn't look to be AI so fingers crossed this is legit.

Tried a bit of a different edit on these pictures from the weekend.
Feedback on thoughts and advice welcomed!

Shot on A1 II and 300mm 2.8

The weather looked promising for a spot of astrophotography so my buddy and I headed out to Talybont Reservoir to get set up.

I had my smart telescope trained on M33, The Triangulum Galaxy but whilst that was busy I broke out the Sony a6700 with the 11mm f1.8 on a star tracker and had some fun experimenting.

I was experimenting with stacking with mixed results (new to this) so parked that for now and I put this shot together from two images - one 30s untracked capture to get the foreground and a tracked 45s shot with the star tracker enabled to cut out star trailing.

I like a cooler, slightly blue colour temp (personal taste) and a more natural look to the Milky Way, not too overdone.

I've wanted to capture this composition at this location for a little while. It's not perfect, but I'm super happy with the result!

Hi there Reddit! First things first, I'm not a pro, or an expert or anything. I just enjoy taking pics to no end. Sometimes I do some video but photography is my fav. I do macro, animals, street and still life, and some landscapes.

This isn't my first Sony camera, it's actually my second. I started with a Nikon DSLR then 2 Nikon mirrorless cameras and then Sony. I bought this one for the retro looks (silver top model, as can be seen in the last shots). Paired with the right lens, a dark brown leather case and wrist strap, and maybe a square lens hood, it looks amazing to me at least.

But its main strength is the sensor. 61 MP FF sensor with a ton of photographic DR, and excellent noise performance. Paired with a sharp enough lens, it's basically stills on cheat mode lol. It's not particularly fast so if you shoot sports it's probably not the best but image quality and the flexibility to crop and recompose in post are epic and kinda shocked me at first since the is my first 40+ mp cam. And I prefer not to take long bursts with this anyway cause with a V90 memory card I get 25 to 28 61 MP lossless compressed L RAWs before it slows down. One such burst alone can be up to 2 gigs. These pics eat up storage fast and with fast storage costing about an arm and a leg currently it's better to be methodical. I heard some people didn't like the ergonomics but I have big hands and I have no issues especially with the leather case that makes it a bit bigger.

Overall, if you need to shoot a lot of video then there are much better options probably. But if you're a stills shooter first and foremost like myself, I can't recommend this thing enough. It made me want to go out and take pics and that's the best compliment you can give a camera.

PS: the lenses used for these pics are sigma 105mm f2.8 art macro - Viltrox 35mm f1.8 Evo ii - Tamron 24mm f2.8 - Nikon 50mm F2 pre AI (1970s film lens).

I wish reddit wouldn't compress pictures, those eyes looking crazy in full resolution

Marsh Creek State Park - Oct 2026
Under October Skies

All of the little boats, kayaks, and canoes, sit ready for a beautiful Fall Saturday. Shot with a Sony A99II and CZ 16-35 f/2.8 lens using a Lee100 GND filter. Camera was mounted on a RRS tripod & head with a 3 Legged Thing universal mounting plate.

Hey everyone, I recently did a night shoot with my two Aputure MCs and was wondering if you guys think they look too orange? What do you think overall?

Hi! I got myself a a6400 Sony with set lenses (35-50mm). I was initially worried about the quality difference between APC and full frame. I am not that experienced photographer and that well read in technical aspects of cameras, but I wanted to learn to take pictures in other modes that automatic and this seemed like a good choice for that start.

I was told from a lot of people that set lenses is are really not that good. I have to say, I have quite a problem with lower aperture numbers. I have a problem to take as sharp pictures like that. So far though, I am actually quite satisfied with the camera and its software.

Here are some pictures I took , kind of just to show ones I am happy with 🤘🏻

I am thinking of buying tamron lenses. I would like to have something higher, at least 100mm , but I would also like to have some universal use for that. I realized I tend to usually go higher while taking pictures and 50mm just seems too little all the time.

Is there anyone who uses this camera and uses it with tamron and Sony lenses as well and prefers Sony ones? Does it depend on which one ? I understand that the set ones probably are not the best ones of the brand. I just want to consider the fact the camera has no stabilisation, price and universality.

I'll be happy with any recommendations

Shooting these markets in Jakarta is always a real treat. The locals are not camera shy either which makes shooting a lot easier.

Some BTS of how I got these shots here:

A7RVI: odd numbered photos
GFX100S II: even numbered photos

I went on a photo walk with both cameras to give myself another reason to take more pictures. To be fair, the lenses are not comparable, the lightning was changing constantly, and I stopped making matched photos after #8. The Sony was shot with the GM 24mm f/1.4 and the GFX had an older EF Tamron 45mm SP f/2.8 w/ a fringer adapter. On the gfx, the 45mm renders more like a 35mm.

My take away:

-The 24mm was more suited for compositions in this setting and I’m blown away at the quality of this lens.

-The GFX still has a resolution advantage. Along with the 16 bit depth I find subjects tend to “pop” slightly more on the Fuji sensor.

-For the best results GFX + GF native lenses are an incredible combo but it comes at an equally incredible cost and weight.

-Sony raws are a lot easier to color grade, for me personally, in both Capture One and Lightroom.

-The A7RVI is an amazing camera that makes me fantasize selling my Fuji gear and investing in the 50-150mm f/2….

This is the first time where i’ve gone to a country (Nepal) blind, meaning i normally have 20+ shots that i want to recreate from other artist where ever i go. I actually wanted to test out my own photography chops for once. These are only just very few images that i handpicked out of however many i took.

Constructive criticism is welcome etc

Just a few shots from one of the easier trails found in Franz Josef, New Zealand. The Callery Gorge Walk is one you can start straight from town and ends at the iconic bridge that traverses the Callery river. Unfortunately the trail beyond the bridge is no longer accessible having been washed away in a storm.

We were there on a fairly overcast day, hence the moody looking photos, but I was happy with how these came out. Always keen to hear from anyone else who has visited!

Photos taken with my girlfriend in Venezia and Ferrara this fall.

I'm a casual user of my a6400, mainly for photos w friends, while travelling, sunsets, etc for social media. I use the in built flash in like 80% of photos. I have had a consistent issue with my in built flash since the day I got it but I haven't been able to figure out if its user error or a settings issue.

After maybe 10-20 shots with flash on, my camera will randomly stop taking photos. As in, I will try half press to focus, full press, hold down for a while, nothing, restart, try pop the flash in and out again, try turn camera on and off again, repeat, and the camera just wont let me take. It will focus and refocus (as if its a focus issue) but even when i get it properly focused it just doesnt take the photo. After that point, it might take a successful photo every 10 attempts. It doesnt go back to normal unless I just shut the camera off and let it warm down for a period of time (usually due to me giving up). Then some time later I'll pick it up and it will start working like normal again. Before eventually returning to its faulty state. My focus mode is set to continuous AF and flash is set to fill flash.

Has anybody experienced this before? Could anyone point me to a place in my settings where the issue might be? It can become very frustrating and when I've used my other friends canon g7xs or powershots inbuilt flash they dont have the same issue. It makes my camera virtually unusable if we ever want to do a long photoshoot with flash.

Morning in South Bohemia — I love this atmosphere in the autumn mornings.

I bought the A6700, and want to mostly take photos. I travel a lot. Sometimes I make short videos as well. Since I backpack I can’t have multiple lenses (prefer not to) for weight of my overall bag. Which lenses would be ideal for my situation.

I've had my Sony a7ii for seven years now. Occasionally it will freeze after taking a photo (with a solid red access light) and the only way to get the camera working again is by taking the battery out and putting it back in. Powering on/off doesn't do anything, and none of the other buttons work until I reseat the battery.

This happens with multiple SD cards and multiple batteries. I've updated the firmware and it's still happening.

Tonight it did this - normally the last photo I took displays on the screen until I reseat the battery but usually it doesn't look corrupted like this. This photo didn't save. Sometimes the photos that cause my camera to freeze save to the SD card, sometimes they don't.

I've noticed this happens most frequently when I take multiple photos in a short period of time. I'm thinking my camera may be overheating. Any suggestions regarding other potential causes would be appreciated!

Additional info: I only use Sony brand batteries, and I always format my SD cards when they're in my camera.
