Re: New and need help for son with Autism
Michael,

Re: Sigma 17-35
Randy,
Why would we laugh. If you don't need or want 4K this is a great time to buy HD for a bargain. You do weddings. That is one of the few genres that still delivers a large portion of your...

Re: How to Get Talent to Say What I Want
Mike Watson is dead on the money....
Never give them "lines". Key word notes for you are OK but scripts with lines will never work in an amateur interview.

Hey Patrick,
Yes I meant the F900R, typo.
I don't know what to tell you about quirks? The "R" had some pretty nice upgrades from the original. Check them out ans see what is important to you....

Re: Are used F900 or F900R cameras any good?
+1 Mike, great post!
All of those old high end Sony cameras are great cameras. I have worked with everything from the analog SD days to Digi Beta and beyond. The F700R was king in its day.

Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens SELP18105G B&H Photo Video
It is only $600.00 instead of the $2,200.00 for the one your looking at. It is a perfect...

Re: NEX AE 50UH and lenses
Yes, still using both of them and loving it. Will continue to use them until I MUST go to 4K. Then it will still be an e-mount or EF lens camera because I have so much invested in glass!
