Sony & Nikon & Canon put out 600mm prime lenses in the $13,000 range. I can get a Fujifilm or Tamron or Sigma 150-600 mm lens for $2000 or less. I would love to see the same distant object taken at 600mm with one of the primes and one of the lesser telephotos at differing levels of cropping to see the difference in detail/sharpness. Any website show this or does someone here have such photos? I am not expecting a dramatic difference as I understand you pay a high premium for incremental improvements generally. I am not planning on any $13K purchase (unless I win Mega Millions lottery), but just curious.

I am making my Studio 100% portable. My camera is tethered, lighting is now battery powered and all that is left is a laptop.

I want to be able to show a client their pictures as they are being taken, do minor touch-up and give them a digital picture(s) on site if that’s what they want.

I would like to hear from anyone who has moved to portable photo editing on a Mac laptop.
I currently use Capture One Pro and Affinity on an old Macintosh desktop. What laptop did you go with 14” or 16”? M1 or M2? Pro or Max? I’m sure any of them are noticeably faster than my current box. Does a laptop have enough real estate to use for efficient digital editing?

Any comments will be appreciated.

FYI, Precision Cameras is Sony's main authorized and warranty service center in the USA, and the largest camera repair service in the world, performing authorized and warranty work for all brands including Nikon and Canon.

My experiences with Precision with my Nikon, Canon and Sony gear has been exemplary, with quality work done and returned promptly. It may have helped that I have been a professional member of NPS, CPS, and SPS in my career.
As long as Chrysler warranties their work, you should be fine.

And even though Sony has ended any further development of its A-mount lineup, if you have a lot of favorite A-mount lenses and still love your A-mount camera, continue to use it and be happy. Adapted A-mount lens will work Ok on E-mount with the adaptors, but not as well as E-mount lenses.

One of my good friends is Canadian photographer and inspirational Youtube visual creator , Rachel Lerch. She is an avid Sony A99II user and has resisted the urge to move to E-mount, and she does a great job with her gear.

You all should check Rachel Lerch out online, whatever gear you use.
