GAS-piness
Oct 28, 2017 15:44:15 #
So, in a major GAS attack 
, I bought the new Sony FE 100-400/4.5-5.6 for my a6300. I'd tried the FE 70-200/4 and the FE 70-300/4.5-5.6, but neither had the reach I was looking for with the distances here. With baited breath, I took it for a test spin today, first re-visiting my "grapes are ready" shots previously posted, followed by some other shots along the way. GAS attack over - I feel relief. Looks like this will be my next couple of birthday presents to myself...I'm happy.

How does that work on the a6300? It's almost 4 pounds- I would think it would be a bit awkward.

Enjoy it! If I had the money I would buy the top of the line mirrorless like the FujiFilm T2 but I have to wait, and save up. I started with photography last month with my husband's Canon EOS 620 film camera. Then, thanks to people on this website, I bought an Olympus E-PL1 for $140. It doesn't seem to work right in the SCN mode selected SPORT mode.

It can be, yes, particularly at 400mm, less so at 100mm - but the OSS helps a lot (all of these shots were hand-held), as does a lot of light (like today) enabling fast shutter speeds. As for carrying it, I got an attachment for the straps on my backpack, which locks the camera in place to the side of my chest, and I hardly notice it when walking - but when carrying it with my hands, even for a short distance, I feel it.
For longer hikes than today, I'll use my trekking pole with a camera mount for steadiness and, for lower light situations, clearly a tri-pod.

Take your time! I started more decades ago than I want to admit to, and got the basics down with Kodaks, Polaroids and a Canon AE-1 with a fixed lens when that came out - couldn't afford anything more, but it did teach discipline and patience. Lots of good help here that will help speed you on your way, certainly faster than me...
