  1. 400 f/4.5 GM or one of the 100-400s for football from the touchline?

    I shoot my nephew's rugby with a used A7 IV and the 70-200 f/4, and I have exactly the same problem past halfway. I don't have an answer, I'm afraid, but I'll be following this. Thank you for laying…

  2. A7 IV under floodlights, focus is fine but files look mushy?

    I am shooting JPEG, yes, I didn't realise the camera was doing anything to them. I'll switch to RAW and try 1/500 at Thursday's session and report back. Will Lightroom's denoise work on the A7 IV…

  3. A year with one lens

    Late to this, but it made me realise I've used nothing except the 70-200 for nine months. Going to borrow a friend's 50 for October and see what happens. Thanks for writing it up.

  4. B-cam for the channel: R6 V, Nikon ZR, or just stay Sony?

    Thanks for coming back with the update, useful to see where you ended up.

  5. S-Log3 or HLG on the A7 IV if I don't want to grade?

    Came back to say S-Cinetone was exactly what I needed. The footage from Saturday looks lovely with no editing at all, and the other parents were asking what I'd done to it. I also exposed a bit…

  6. D750 finally showing its age. Used Z6 II or new Z5 II?

    I was in a similar position in January with Sony and went used, an A7 IV with a low shutter count. Very happy so far, although I mostly shoot indoor events rather than football, so I can't speak for…

  7. S-Log3 or HLG on the A7 IV if I don't want to grade?

    I didn't know that was on the A7 IV. Thank you, I'll try it this weekend.

  8. A7 IV firmware update pulled? Mine's still on the old version

    Done, it all worked. Thank you very much.

  9. A7 IV firmware update pulled? Mine's still on the old version

    Sorry to bring this back up. I've just bought a used A7 IV and the support page now shows a new firmware version available. Is this the one that was paused, and is it safe to install? I've never…

  10. Used A7 III or used A7 IV for indoor basketball? About £2,200 with a lens

    Thanks everyone. I've ordered a used A7 IV and the 70-200 f/4 G II from MPB. Came in a bit over budget but I think it's the right call. It arrives on Thursday and the next home game is Saturday, so…
