Thanks for the tip! This camera's menu has more parameters for AF than I'm used to and I haven't learned them all yet - or how they work in combination. Makes sense that macro would require a different setup than birds. And switching from birds in foliage to birds in flight is another challenge...

Thanks! It was a challenge to shoot this handheld from such a short distance, but feasible. If a bit painful :D I had to use manual focus for this shot because there are some autofocus issues I have yet to find a fix for. It sometimes fails to find the subject at close range, even when there is...

Tested the Sony 400-800mm on this dragonfly today. I was about 3 yards away. It's surprising how narrow the depth of field at f/8, but then again it is 800mm. 800mm f/8 1/500s 800iso

Of course! I did quite a bit of handheld shooting with the big lens yesterday and it delivers everything that was promised - very fast focus and excellent image stabilization. I wasn't prepared for how fast a mirrorless camera is, getting rid of the whole mechanical affair of flipping the...

One of the first photos with my new Sony A7RIVa and Tamron 28-75, taken in our back yard last night. Definitely liking the low noise compared to the Canon 6D! This is a stack of 2 photos, each 13 seconds long at 2000 ISO. Quite pleased with the result. The fireflies are close to peaking over here!

Very happy with my new gear 🙂 The telephoto is so heavy it needs its own strap...

This is so cool, Jim. Great composition. That outhouse is just begging to be photographed! The fact that someone put a light out there cracks me up.

Thanks to all for the input! The Metabones and MC-11 adapters do look like the best options, however thanks to Alan's convincing points I decided to take the plunge and order new lenses along with the new camera. I knew I would eventually upgrade lenses anyway so I just needed a little push to...

Duly noted, thanks. That's interesting about the Sony sensors!

Thank you @AlanLichty and @JimFox for your insight and thoughtful responses! This info is all helpful. I had a feeling I would eventually buy native lenses to go with whatever body I picked out, so this confirms it. I will mull over getting a converter to hold me over in the interim. @JimFox...
