Thanks for your helpful reply!

I have the a9, but have no Sony lenses- waiting for the new 100-400 that has not shipped as of this date. Presently have Leica lenses with adapter on it and it auto focuses pretty well. Getting through the set up process takes a little work unless you are very famliar with Sony cameras. My past experience is with Canon and Leica, and the Sony a7rII. I plan to stick with Sony if they come up with some good glass options to support their latest mirrorless cameras.

Thanks erinjay64

I was particularly thinking headshot only, single person, 3/4 angle, sunlight sufficient to not affect f-stop choice

Thanks, seaside7

I take a lot of photos of people and am wondering if for individual people - from a depth of field point of view there is an ideal f stop to use as a starting point. Thanks so much for your helpful replies.

Hi Folks, does anyone know where to get good set up guides for the a9 Sony camera? Please don't suggest Google or Youtube - I have looked there. Maybe it is just too early to find them... How did you first go about setting up a new camera? All suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I have the Sony a7rII and love it; had a lot of Canon equip., but now just Sony and Leica.

I just saw this product and wondered if the UHH comminity had experience with the product and any recommendations pro or con. Thanks for all your generous thoughts.

Thanks to all for your helpful responses.

I just purchased CaptureOne Pro 10 imaging software and tried to send jpeg photos to my work computer so I could have personal screen savers. My monitor is 21.5" on the diagonal and when I got to work, the shots didn't have much resolution. What is the best size/ settings for high resolution screen savers? Sorry if this is too basic or is asking for too much hand holding. I am using a Sony a7rII camera with 42 Megapixel sensor - - I should be able to squeeze out some fine detail. Lens is 50 mm f2.0. The output needs to be jpeg. My work computer doesn't read jpeg2000. Thanks for all helpful guidance.

Interesting point. I have often left people out of my photos because I have felt that they would restrict the timelessness or dated the picture in a way that made it seem less "universal" in its appeal....l'll reconsider based on your thoughts.
Also, I wanted the viewer to be the primary "person" in the experience of looking at the photo. Just my thoughts...

Thanks!

Thanks, Bweber. I do like it's ease of use and results so far.

I have the Sony trial package. Will probably pay for subscription, but would like to know what it can do first - - that is what I thought a trial was all about! Anyway, thanks for your responses and help. Any UHHers in the Washington, DC area - there is a beautiful orchid exhibit at the Hirshorn Museum. Great way to check colors and whitebalance and get exercise and have fun all at the same time!
