This is a great lens. I used mine in Kenya with a Sony 1.4 tc. Got awesome images. I recently used it to photograph a chipmunk who visits daily. I was shooting thru a window. It is a very sharp lens!!!

What Sony lacks are the 300mm f2.8 and f4 e-mount full frame lenses.
Years ago I had the Sigma and Nikon 2.8 f-mount versions and they were awesome. Both worked well with their respective TC 1.4X. The Sigma didn't quite have the IQ or VR of the Nikon but it was no slouch, and a joy to use due to its weight.
Used the Nikon 300 f4 for a period and it was excellent as well. A 300mm Fresnel would be awesome.
I hope Sony is listening.

I have the Sony 70-200 F4 and also the 28-105 F4. Also have the the Sony 100-400 is F4.5-5.6. All great lenses I use with the Sony A9 and the Sony A7111. I went to Africa and got great results. The Sigma 15-600 is f5-6.3. Better lens, less weight and super sharp.

I guess I respectfully disagree with most here on this issue. Maybe I'm logically inconsistent and a hypocrite. I don't know. But I just don't see how anyone can take any pride in taking someone else's work and combining it with their own. I'll admit I don't believe in sky replacement at all, but at least you can use one of your own.
I am using my own skies. Often from the location of the image, but with a more interesting sky from the same location.

Best bet is to use what the saw and it sees many things the eye does not. It is just how you pull this information out that makes a difference. If overdone of course it becomes ugly...

The choices in Luminar are not limited. You can add your own images of skies. I have a whole collection of skies that I have taken and used these when replacing a sky in Luminar 4.

I have a Fotopro E-6H Eagle Series Gimbal Head. It is 1 1/2 lbs, I have used it with a Tamron 150-600 and a Sony 100-400. I love that with an L bracket I can also use it for landscapes. It folds completely flat for travel.
Just realized there is a photo of this gimbal head in the B&H advertisements at the top of this page.

My daughter has a new A7ii Sony Camera. She is just getting into photography. She wants to do editing, but does not like the monthly subscription idea. She is looking at Luminar 4, which is on sale currently. Any suggestions, pro or con?

You are all very welcome. I have no connection with Photomatix but have been in contact with the rep for years. He sent me the info and requested I pass it along.
It is a great program to play with!

I know there has been discussion about this, but I’m tearing my hair out. Last month, I purchased Luminar 4, and downloaded it on my Dell Windows 10. Now I can’t open it. Luminar’s customer support is no help- I’ve tried all their on-line help suggestions. There seems to be no avenue to speak with a representative. Now I just want to cancel the order and get a refund, but try as I may, I can’t figure out how to do it.
I would suggest you uninstall the program and then try to reinstall it.

I tried a trial version that downloaded but would not run. It was the virus protection on the computer stopping the downloaded exe file. I switched off the antivirus for 5 mins and ran the exe file and it then worked.
I trialled it for 'sky replacement' but found it did not do it tight close to the edges of what was not being replaced. It seemed OK at first until I had a look at it zoomed. I did not go on to buy it but hope you may find it useful .

There is a place to fine tune the placement. Did you try opening the *advanced* tab?
