Cheap lenses? I got a Tamron 28-75 F2.8 for
$650. ..
70-180 F2.8 is $900. Sigma Emount lenses are also
‘fairly’ inexpensive. .. old FD lenses on
Using my lens on a smaller camera and not having
space behind the lens for ND? I’m lost. Is this
something EF lenses do? I’ve never used a behind
the lens ND.
..I have read that it can have
some strange issues if you add filters on the front
of a lens and combine them with the internal ND.
Of course I have also read that the C200 has an odd
greenish tint that can result with strong internal ND
applied as well.....
Sir
Be clear Im partly leg pulling but also not.
Handle - I have a movi pro - you have to take the handle off.
The cost of AF lenses I have a superstition that AF is best with native lenses. My observation is that native af sony lenses are not cheap being too new to be widely available used. Ive not really checked non native lenses.
Two things.. Ive had enough sigmas fall apart to not like them.. Ive had great experience from modern tamron and that old 11-16. As I said probably superstition cuased by my impression of Stigma burned into me in 1998 (literally)
Costwise a biggie is 70-200 you can get the canon F4 for $400 wheras its abour $1500 for the sony 70-200.
Behind the lens ND.
So if you want to shoot with an A7xx or a Canon R you will need ND. EF lenses and Canon R cameras have space for this https://store.canon.co.uk/canon-dro...r-with-drop-in-variable-nd-filter-a/3443C005/
I think that is a pretty big deal on the small mirrorless cam front.
I hate using bolt on ND which are usually covered in peanut butter from my sandwhich bag or fluff from my pocket.
As for the third filter.. I do car shooting and often polarize to see through glass. Im not convinced (or unconvinced) that the Sony ND plays well with this. Its just my superstition.
Superstion or experience? Probably six of one, half a dozen of the other.
The cost is also not nothing to me after the last bum year.. C200 + used 70-200 is thousands cheaper than a SonyFX6.
Once again. I think the FX6, 28-135 is a very nice package for doc. My work is a little different from straight doc. Money no object..? I would have an FX6 in my cupboard of course.
