- Sony FE 400 f/4.5 GM and 600 f/6.3 GM announced, both under 1kg
The 400 f/4.5 under a kilo... that's lighter than the 200-600 by a LOT. Not for me on an a6400 budget but it's nice to dream. Steve
Post #4, in Lenses - RX10 V? Heard Sony might be bringing the RX10 back
Over a grand I can live with. I'll wait and see. Thanks Ellie. My wife says I said the same about the a6400 and look how that went. Steve
Post #3, in Sony - New Sony 100-400 f/4.5 GM - worth it over my 70-350 for birds, or a used 200-600?
Thank you all. Sounds like the honest answer is the a6400 is the weak link and not the lens. Going to keep the 70-350, watch KEH for a used body, and get closer to the birds like Jim said (within…
Post #12, in Lenses - New Sony 100-400 f/4.5 GM - worth it over my 70-350 for birds, or a used 200-600?
Hadn't thought about that. My a6400 does miss a lot of the ospreys when they come off the water, I always blamed myself. So a new lens on an old body might be the WRONG way round?

Post #8, in Wildlife - Sony menus. Five years in and I STILL can't find anything
Did that too. Rebuilt the Fn menu last night with my son-in-law watching and laughing at me. Beach birds on Saturday will be the test, the sanderlings don't wait for anybody. Thanks all. Steve
Post #14, in Sony - Sony menus. Five years in and I STILL can't find anything
My Menu. I did NOT know that was a thing. Found it, put the beep and the magnify in there. Also the silent shutter, which I didn't know the camera had either. Who knew. Steve
Post #6, in Sony - Sony A7 V is official: 33MP partially stacked, $2,898 body
Thought so. Thanks.
Post #27, in Sony - Sony A7 V is official: 33MP partially stacked, $2,898 body
Question for the experts. Is the phone app any better with this one or is it STILL the same Creators' App? I gave up trying to get pictures off my a6400 onto the iPad. Steve
Post #25, in Sony - Black Friday - Sigma 18-50 2.8 vs my kit lens, worth it on the a6400?
Wife says Jim is right and I should WAIT. She's usually right. Going to keep an eye on KEH. Thanks both. Steve
