Shoot for you. There are way to many experts that say shoot this way or shoot that way. Are you having fun? Do you like the result? Shoot it from different angles? We make thigs so complicated it kills me!!

Coolhandluke,

If you own a Z9, I wouldn't worry about a new release. I have a friend with one and it is sweet. I own a Sony. If I didn't have to take out a second mortgage to afford one, that would be my camera of choice!!

The overall color saturation is good on this camera. I have a friend who shoots with one.She uses this and it's features very well.
I shoot with a A77ii and I love it. I am currently irritated with Sony as they stopped making A mount lenses, which the 68 uses. If you are going Sony, go E-mount.
Honestly, if I knew then what I know now, I would have explored more on Nikon and Canon.
Good luck

If Photoshop has served you well, then I would continue to use it. The rationale is that it is great software (though the current version is far better, providing easier procedures for things that were a bit involved in the past), and you are already familiar with the software.

One of the things about Photoshop that people never recognize, is that while it is an amazingly powerful image editor (and video, too, btw), very few people actually use 100% of all of the tools it contains. The average is probably more like 20%-40%. I might use about 30% myself - and I don't worry about the "other stuff" it has. When something comes up that constitutes an editing challenge - I know that somewhere someone has done it and documented it either on a website or a YouTube video.

If you go down the rabbit hole of trying new software - you will have the challenge of having to learn something new, a platform that is not as competent as what you are now using, thinner training resources, thinner third party support, etc etc etc.

I suggest you stick with it - there are lots more things to learn. But the biggest thing you should consider is how to improve your self-critique. Knowing what an image could use to improve it is a big part, then seeking out and applying the correct tools in the correct amount is also big. Both are critical to your pursuit of better results from your editing. New software, maybe not so much.

Thank you. That makes sense.

I believe in that era all Sony bodies including the A77ii had in-body stabilization, so Tamron (and I think also Sigma) A-mount lenses did not have in-lens stabilization, unlike their Nikon and Canon equivalents. I remember being somewhat upset since all three versions sold for the same price, although the Sony mount did not have that extra cost to manufacture. This was all before the advent of both in-body AND in-lens stabilization.


I have found that Tamron depends on lens for stabilization. Sigma gets far less positive reviews.
I found a minolta 100 - 400 and a Tamron 150 -600. Thanks for your help.

I use a Minolta 100-400 APO on my Sony A65 and my Sony 77a Markii. It works fine and produces tack sharp images. I bought mine new many years ago and used it on a Minolta 9XI. You can pick up one in excellent quality used for 200 to 300 dollars.


I found one that sounds good..in excellent condition.
Could you send me a couple images you shot with this lens? I truly appreciated your feedback. I suggest posting privately.
