Check out Blue Moon in Portland, Oregon (near me).

As stated above you get what you pay for. This looks like a cheap version of the Black Rapid or Peak Design. I use a Black Rapid with no issues.

but squirrels can be helpful at church, just ask Ray Stevens......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16fG1sDagU

I recently bought a used A7Rii from my local camera store with only used for a couple of hundred images. It came with 6 Sony batteries and a verticle grip and boxes. I paid $1000. You can now get a new one for $1500. With the A6400 new is $900 (i used this example because this camera has the next generation Bionx Processor, same as the A9, A7iii and A7Riii). For a slightly used A7Rii with box, you are probably looking at getting $500-$800 in the market today.

Two reasons I decide not to attend this event....I have been to Central Oregon (LaPine) many many times and photographed many many places there. Second, I could not see howpaying the price of this event would be justified. I debated with myself about going or not going. I would rather put that money into getting the FE 200-600 lens.

Sony A7 line uses both in body and in lens stabilization at the same time. You can use tripods with both on with no problems. I can hand hold for at least a second shutter speed with Sony stabilization.

Any comments about manufacturers not being to produce both in body and in lens stabilization systems that work together are wrong. Sony has been doing it for several years. Technology is changing the way we can produce images. Use it or don't, but it is wrong to use limitations of film cameras and lenses for what digital photography is today.

As stated above the distance is the issue. This is the same reason Sony/Minolta A-mount lenses can not be used with the Sony E mount cameras.

At aquariums ALWAYS use a circular polarizer filter. You are dealing with glass and water that cause reflections. Use auto ISO and auto WB as you have mixed lighting. Need to use a fast shutter speed of 200 or more.

You should read the rodeo regulations about spectators using photography equipment. The rodeo near me limits cameras to 3 inch long lenses.

No one is forcing NK to wear these shoes, so why the outrage? However, many people will not buy Nike products because of this decision. Nike should just make their products and sell them and not be involved in politics nor influenced by one person's opinion.

Nike will lose some buyers (American?) because of this decision. Will it be enough loss to make Nike feel any remorse about the decision, we have to wait and see.

I have not been able to get 1903 to load on my computer. I have been in contact with MS three times and still the same fail to install. When it gets to restart portion of the install, it will restart 3 times and then the fourth time my computer turns off and does restart. I press the power button and I get the message that it is undoing changes to made to the computer.

I have done the complete reinstall of Win 10 and still 1903 fails to update.

I got a message from MS saying that they were aware of many failures to install 1903 and they are working to fix the issues and I would be notified when these were fixed. I have not received a notice saying it was fixed and each time I try 1903 update it still fails to install.

Besides chatting with MS again, I would appreciate any thoughts about how to correct this.

You can use the bulb setting and use a black card (bigger than the circumference of the front of your lens). Hold the card in front of the lens, yes, it needs to be touching the lens so no light s getting to the lens. Now press the shutter in bulb setting, using a remote shutter release is helpful. When the fireworks are bursting in air, remove the card after a second or two put the card in front of the lens. When the fireworks start again, remove the card for one or two seconds. Now stop pressing the shutter release. Use your lowest ISO setting. You should manually get focus before covering the lens. Repeat this as many times per image as you want, and repeat the process. This method can create some very nice images.

Look at ZPS. It is a good program.

Any thought about whether or not this 1.4x will work with the EA4 adaptor with the Tamron 200-500 (A-mount) lens?
