Donzo98 Posted March 9, 2018 Share #102 Posted March 9, 2018 Let's see a few pics.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancook Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share #103 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Let's see a few pics.... I've been taking hundreds of crappy photos whilst I played with the 20FPS + c-af, not really caring for composition and content.. I don't think I was using the right AF settings, but I was getting shots of my puppy running towards me in the rain.

Donzo98 Posted March 9, 2018 Share #104 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) What AF settings were you using?? Those look like they are in focus on the dogs face for sure. No?? Edited March 9, 2018 by Donzo98 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancook Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share #105 Posted March 9, 2018 What AF settings were you using?? I used the lock-on AF, which I'm pretty sure allows you to follow the subject around the frame - but it's not so great for keeping track of the head on a little brown ball of fur. I think if I just stuck to standard single point AF since I kept her pretty central anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancook Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share #107 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Happy with the build quality, menus, etc?? It's never going to be as nice as the SL, but I'll make it work it wouldn't put me off buying the system.. Build quality seems nice enough You have to flick a switch to unlock the card department Slot one is the second one down.. The battery compartment you have to unlock and lock again.. I had to disable the AF Assist Lamp which is actually labelled as the 'Autofocus Illuminator' and it's under the AF1 menu (4/13) not the Focus Assist menu (10/13) ... It'll just take some getting used to, especially with a more advanced AF system with more options dependent on what you're doing.

Donzo98 Posted March 10, 2018 Share #108 Posted March 10, 2018 Can you post a pic side by side of the SL. 24-90, vs 24-70 on the A9? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD_50 Posted March 10, 2018 Share #109 Posted March 10, 2018 Can you post a pic side by side of the SL. 24-90, vs 24-70 on the A9? For what purpose? IQ is not the differentiator between these cameras. The A9 is a more advanced camera. The Leica lens will be better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LD_50 Posted March 10, 2018 Share #111 Posted March 10, 2018 Not pics from the cameras... pics OF the cameras. Wanted to see size differences. This is A7RIII with 24-70 f/2.8 vs SL and 24-90. They are very similar. You can also check the Sony with 24-70 f/4. http://camerasize.com/compact/#724.515,639.496,ha,t Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted March 10, 2018 Share #112 Posted March 10, 2018 ...but it's not so great for keeping track of the head on a little brown ball of fur.They don’t look sharp to me.

I hope you have made custom button adjustments, I found in my A7R, I had to remove the iso button, adjusting iso thru the menu, in many instances, the iso is changed when I touch the function button, you may want to do same with white balance...I am sure you have also made back button AF, only way to shoot fast ramp models or sports, red carpets and airshows, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AF is ok, look at floor to see, where the sharpest zone is. The dog is running fast, much faster than the women at the catwalk. The blue picture on page 5 is a shame for the used equipment.. The dog example let me rethink the use of AF. I use zone focussing with my manual gear. Jan Edited March 10, 2018 by jankap 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 10, 2018 Share #119 Posted March 10, 2018 sonya9 by dancook1982, on Flickr Well I've made my choice now, so I better get used to it! Whatever else, Leica clearly wins out on boxquality. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know what gear I used? Sorry, I jumped into this discussion seeing your dog pictures as an example for AF. That equipment I could have used during my time as a dog breeder. I had a sawing camera. Manual focus delivered a better keep quoting. Skipping one page back I misinterpreted the picture as a failing AF. The composition is ok.
