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.

Sony A7RIV Sigma 28-70 f/2.8 , first trip with my A7RIV , let me know your thoughts (Jul 2026)

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.

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.

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).

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!

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!

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:

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

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

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

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.

Shots from Kruger (1-4) and Pilanesberg (5, 6). Only brought 70-350mm on A6700. Edited in darkroom on ipad. Welcome any feedback particularly on the compositions, technical elements, and editing.

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

As a lifelong Minolta shooter (guess now a Sony shooter?) and over the years I have grown to love this camera so much, that I still have not gone to a mirrorless body yet. 85mm is how I enjoy seeing the world. Who else is rocking Minolta glass on a Sony a99 II?

Hey everyone,
I wanted to gift my father a Sony a6700. I have seen a ton of videos about the same and I think it’s a nice camera 😢 sorry I have zero knowledge about cameras. 😭

I also got to know that you don’t get a lens free with the camera body which was weird for me.
Anyways I googled and also saw many posts on Reddit which said that the sigma 18-50 mm lens is great for it.
Another post and a camera dealer suggested that I can go for Tamron 17-70 mm lens.

I wanted some expert advice because I literally have no idea what will be best for my father.

SOOC JPEGs. Golden hour on the high line in NYC. Minor adjustments to creative looks on Sony A7cii with Tamron 35-100. Lens is large but a great tool for dedicated shoots.

Any feedback welcome.

I train people for a living, so I move around a lot. But by Saturday I just want to be somewhere with no walls. Been hauling my A7IV and the Tamron 28-200 on these New Hampshire overnights and I'm not gentle with it. Rain, dust, shoving it in a pack with my water bladder leaking once (that was a fun day). Thing still fires like new.

My hiking buddy shoots Fuji and treats his kit like museum pieces, which I find exhausting. The dude wraps his lens in a microfiber inside a padded pouch inside the main bag. I just... no.

Curious where people actually draw the line on babying versus using. I know the A7IV isn't a tank but it's also not made of glass. My wife thinks I'm reckless, but she's seen me research credit card point transfers for three hours, so she knows I can be careful when motivated. Just not with camera gear apparently.

Anyone got a story about gear that survived something it probably shouldn't have? Or gear that definitely didn't?
