My main photointerests are: landscapes, travel and monuments, churches etc. I love taking photos, when possible, of churches and also inside where you can find many interesting things to photograph. I rarely do macro and portraits because its not for me.
Tomorrow I'm going to Plovdiv and will bring my Oly gear (1 body and max 2 lenses). So as you can see both match my needs and have plenty of lenses for my type of photography. And yes cost is a problem but not a huge one. You know I'm not a pro so my concern is that expensive lenses are hard to justify to my wife and from what I see Sony lenses are maybe more expensive than Nikons. On the other hand weight is a concern.
I Know it seems a silly question but fore me it is not.
Probably its a serious GAS attack :shock:

Thanks for your answers. I'm leaning towards less weight even if my heart is with Nikon. I can just wait another bit and try to make the best choice for me but it's just like my heart says Nikon and my head says Sony because I'm getting too old to lug around heavy gear.

Life can be difficult at times... :roll:

Hi fellow Hogs,

I'm in the process of buying a new camera but am not sure what to get.
My choice is between the Sony A7 and the Nikon D610. The problem for me are the lenses. Sony is more expensive and has fewer lenses to choose from but is lighter, Nikon on the other hand has many lenses and cheaper (at least some of them) but is bulkier and heavier.
IQ wise I suppose they are in the same league.

What would you choose?

Thanks for your help.

I also use the 50-200 and agree: it's stellar.

I know it's not the only factor but I'm curious to see how it performs consiering that the 24mpx is a new one for canon, if I remember correctly.

Hi fellow Hogs,

I'm very curious about the new Canon and Pentax camera announcements: mainly the Canon 760 and Pentax K-S2.
My main question is about sensor performance. I can't really find any information about these new sensors. Maybe the Pentax 20mpx sensor is the same as the one on the S1 but would like to know something about IQ and Iso performance.
I'm also so curious about the new Canon 24mpx sensor.
Does anyone have more information.

Thanks in advance.

Hi fellow hogs,

has anyone tried this lens on a Canon M body? I should like to know how is AT speed. I can buy this lens for real cheep and am willing to know if AF speed is decent with Canon M and new firmware.

Thanks

Thanks

Hi fellow hogs,

I'm going to Plovdiv, Bulgaria next month and I'm planning to take the Eos M with me instead of my Olympus EP5.
I have the 22mm kit lens and want a zoom that I have to buy. I cannot make a decision between the native mount Tamron 18-200 and the Canon 18-135 STM that I can mount with the adapter.

Between these two which do you suggest for faster AF, IQ and portability (even if I think this will not be a problem).
I think one major drawback for the Tamron is it's value if I want to sell in the future. Here in Italy it is next to none.

I also do primarily landscape and will use it for travel/holidays with some 'architecture' like monuments, churches etc. so AF is no problem for me.
I wouls like a do-everything zoom like a 18-200 and a wide angle with good quality because like you for me IQ is preminent.

Thanks

No problem. I would like to know which canon lenses AF reasonably other than native lenses.

I have the adapter because it came with the kit.

Hi fellow hogs,

I have a question for you. I just bought a Canon Eos M new for a steal with the 22mm lens and eos ef adapter.
I'm willing to fit other lenses - I'm thinking about a zoom.
My question is which lens do you recommend that can AF at a reasonable speed? even adapted ones.
I was thinking about the 18-135 is usm but then read that ther is the new STM version that is faster on the Eos M, is this true.
My main shots with this little piece of kit will be mainly static objects and travel photography.

Thanks.

Agree. For me external buttons are imvaluable and internal AF motor also, but not for all.
