Very Pristine (except for boxes). Shutter Count Under 3,149. (That is correct, three thousand one hundred forty-nine or less actuations) Used mostly to photograph my daughter’s college tennis matches and Real Estate Photography. I have other A mount lenses and Sony Digital Cameras. Since my photography is going in a different direction, I am offering the following Package:
Sony A 77 ii Camera w/ 16-50 2.8 Lens, Caps & Hood, Strap, Box and papers. This is an USA model. (Purchased new in March of 2018.) I prefer to sell as a package, rather than lens or camera separately. (FYI, I used a LED 20” Flashpoint Circular light without a diffuser for illumination; the circular and “dotted” lights reflected on the lenses’ glass is from this light source. I use the LED Light for portraiture mainly. Sorry about any DOF issues.) Also included: Sony Leather Hand Grip, “L” Bracket for this Camera, Neewer Vertical Battery Grip, TWO Sony Batteries, One Sony Charger, One Dolica Pistol Grip Ball Head and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. (just kidding about the tree and bird!). I have a Glass protector on the screen, but the screen protector is askew, the LCD is NOT. The Camera/Lens combo sells for $1,798.00 at Adorama and BHP. Asking $936.00 including CONUS Insured Shipping. PayPal only. I might consider a trade for FE Lens/es; PM me if you wish to trade or purchase. Thanks.

I have a sigma 10-20 f 3.5 and used it for Real Estate photography on my APSC Sony A77m2. In use, it was a 15 - 30 effective picture. The color rendition is good and Lightroom adjusts the print to remove barrel distortion. NOW, I used it on my Full Frame Sony and find that for best effect, use it about 15-20 mm, and the 17mm seems to be the sweet spot. Anyway, it is a very good lens, reasonable new or used and worth investigating. Buy another lens with the $$$ you save. Have fun!!

There used to be a Definition of a cocktail party that went like this:
"A cocktail party is where the women get tight, the men get stiff, and when they get to bed; neither is either".
Oh well, too many years ago, I recall that from a 1959 issue of Playboy, featuring a German movie actress who was astounding. The things we remember!

I use Inpixio 9 for its erase function. On smaller areas ir is very quick, seamless and does exactly or better than my intent. I use the lasso to outline the area. I have used the cutout a few times and that is better than okay. All in all worth every penny not to mess with PS and masks. (i know, its just my dyslexia about the mask concept)insofar as the photo editing portions, i prefer LR. Heavy duty editing I use Inpixio, various Franzis products and Aurora. I should mention that I received a free upgrade from Inpixio 8 to 9. Yty the program, parts are very useable others are not worth messing with unless it fits into your work flow.

Lumix RX 100 or RX 100 2. 23-75 equivalent, fixed zoom, F/1.7 at the narrow end. Very clean pix, Great viewfinders and new from about 700$ to 1000$. BTW very good battery life. Almost small enough to to pocket.

Panasonic LX 100 OR OR LX 100 II. Both great cameras, and priced well. Check them out.

If it appears that you are going to be THE photographer, a second body, extra batteries, and the longer zoom. Oh yes, add speedlites, batteries and a SHOOTING SCHEDULE. If you are shooting as family then have fun. I would not shoot a wedding again, unless I was NOT the official photographer (a lot of stress). Best wishes to the bride and congrats to your nephew.

Gene, my deposit will be available tomorrow. Send me your info for PayPal. I just want you to confirn that there is no mold and that the lens works on my A Mount cameras. A772, A65, Minolta D7.
Thanks,
Jack

I am quite interested in the 500mm auto focus reflex lens. Unfortunately, i would not be able to purchase until after the 16th of May.(Budget issue). If it is still available, please let me know and PM me to set up a discourse. PayPal is fine.

If you are sending pictures for printing by your friends, rather than screen viewing, I suggest JPEGMiniPro. It is not free, not as intuitive and flexible as one might like, BUT it will reduce excess pixels in a .jpg file without any discernible loss of quality while printing. MLS had a 5 mg limit per pix, this program allowed me to send large HDRs for submission keeping detail. I believe BH sells it as well.

A WA zoom allows more flexibility. Stitching a panorama is always feasible, but time consuming. Sigma 10-20 3.5, very sharp at 5.6 or even smaller apertures. Tripod, a gray/white/black card, bare bulb off camera flash and/or window light. Insure that all light fixtures are on and has LED or incandescent at daylight temp. Save your money, buy the Sigma and use the difference, from the Nikon, to buy a Venus 15 mm f/4 macro with shift about a 22 mm with your setup. These two lenses will handle most Real Estate photography for you.

I, too use A mount lenses on my sony cameras. The Sigma 10-20 3.5 is a great Real Estate Lens. Crop sensor it is a 15-30 equivalent and if you match up your horizontal and vertical lines, most distortion is reduced. The lens is not over large and manually focuses well. Auto focus is very, very good. Stopped down to f/5.6 the detail (on a tripod) of the pictures is outstanding. LR can correct aberrations automatically of this lens and most improvements are slight if one properly lines up the lens. It is inexpensive and available. Have fun.

With a 70-200 mm lens, slow shutter speed and wide open aperture, one should look to both "In Body Image Stabilization" and "OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)" in the lens. If IBIS, the Sony A7 ii, Sony A6500 (IBIS) and then the Lens. Sigma makes an new and outstanding e mount 70-200 that is somewhat pricey, but the OIS would work with the 6400 Sony well. You could purchase a used Canon or Sony A mount and use an adapter to the 6400, 6500 or the A7 ii. I chose the A7 ii for price and features, though the 6400 seems superior except for: 1) lack of IBIS and 2) crop sensor (an advantage in your situation.)
Unfortunately, we often start our photographic journey to a single destination; then discover everything else. Keep flexibility. At least there are plenty of used, good lenses that can be adapted to the sont e mounts. Good shooting...

Yeah but SIZE!!!

I purchased a program (app?) named, "JPGminiPro". The app could be a bit less clunky, but, IT WORKS!!I do some Real Estate photography and use it to send my picture files to MLS (The MLS has a maximum of 35 images and size limits), prospects and in my Newspaper Advertisements. The app has an "optimize setting that is interesting as the final size from a 24 mg file can range from less than a megabyte to as much as six or seven MG. One may also dictate end size in terms of Large, Medium or Small or length or height. (1368 x 786, for example). On HD Monitors I cannot discern any difference in quality. Pictures used in my newspaper Ads print well, the same picture reduced from over 20 MG to 3.31 MG and 265 KB, appeared the same when in print.
I believe there may be a free trial and it is sold by B & H, directly and other online retailers.
It really works, BTW I printed a 20 + MG portrait on my PRO 100 and the same picture reduced by "JPGminiPro" to 3.31 MG in a 6.5" Height X 9.6" size, glossy and could not find any difference in quality.
