Thanks everyone

Anybody have a brand recommendation for a decent-tasting hydrating powder. (I don't like sweet)

Unfortunately, I can no longer can manage heavy lenses.

I am planning a trip to Rwanda to photograph these magnificent gorillas. It will be combined with a trip to Ethiopia. The only 2.8 lens I have is 24-70 which isn’t long enough to reach the gorillas. My 70-300 is 4.5/5.6 and my camera is Sony A7r4. Renting a faster lens would be prohibitive because I will be gone for an entire month. I am assuming I’ll need to use a high ISO and try to remove noise in post-processing, but I’d like to know if anyone has any other suggestions. Thx for your help

Still available? Price?

Love my Ezio. Comes with its own calibration software. I have my images printed at Bay Photo with no color correction, and they always perfectly match what I see on my monitor

Phototech next door to B&H in NYC is an authorized Sony repair shop

Thank you. I'll do that.

The problem I have is that the photo does not appear to return to LR no matter how long I wait. I have to close LR and then reopen it, and then it’s there. I have never understood this. The photo is not stacked and it has returned next to the original right where it should be

[quote=DirtFarmer]Just remember that a polarizing filter will be of limited utility on an ultrawide lens.

I understand. But I will probably want to use a graduated ND filter.

Thanks everyone for your help. I think the ability to use a filter (whether it's polarizing or ND) will be important to me so I've decided to purchase the 16-35. And I save $900 that I can use for something else!

Thank you for the suggestion.

GWilliams6 - Thank you for your advice. Your photos are beautiful.

Great point. Thank you.

I am interested in purchasing a wide-angle zoom lens for landscape and astro work. I currently own Sony’s 24-70 f2.8 GM and then 70-300 and upward. I am trying to make a choice between Sony’s 12-24 f2.8 ($3000) and 16-35 f2.8 ($2100). Both are G Master lenses with great reviews. The weight difference is insignificant. The only other difference is the 12-24 has a bulbous front element and a permanent lens hood. No filter availability on the front of that lens. So my question to all the wide-angle shooters out there is – is the 4mm difference worth the $900 extra cost? I will appreciate all of your thoughts. Thanks.
