Gonna share my pic which I'm rather proud with the results of editing. Don't bother pixel peeping, cause it's obviously Photoshopped, and I'm still not very good at editing.

The individual photos aren't all that impressive, IQ wise (blurry motion, high ISO, amateur photographer), but her poses were so nice, I had to do something to make it all worthwhile!

Taken using an A7 + LA-EA4 + Minolta APO 100-300

Comments and criticism are welcome.

Hi, going completely out of topic, though related to us all. What camera bag would you recommend for 2 A7 bodies, about 4 lenses and other items like tripod, flash, batteries, charger etc? How much would you budget for safeguarding your heavy investment against the dangers of the world?

depend you are looking for a 'walkaround' bag like a sling, quick access backpack(zip open from side) or waist bag.... or a 'transportation' bag, for full secure travel purpose, backpack or a trolley system.

everyone value bag differently. some willing to grab rm600-800 for a nice backpack, some willing to pay only 300-400 for something similar. my case, i always end grabbing cheapest offer i could get my hand on, then put some DIY modification to strengthen it. smile.gif
Good point there. I've always preferred a sling type of bag, easy access to my gear. Backpacks don't really appeal to me, cause of the same issue. I'm looking into waist bag as an option now too.

Haha, I've got the same one from my A7 preorder. It's still collecting dust, but I'll be using it for this weekend's Alpha Workshop wink.gif See u guys there!

Thanks for the suggestions bro Silverfire! But I'm not really a backpack fan at the moment... tongue.gif

I already have a Lowepro Even Messenger 250, and it has served me well. Just that it can't support 2 bodies with 4 lenses, even fitting the HVL-F60m into the side pocket is too tight (honestly I never dared to try fitting it in before).

I'm currently fixated on this bag I came across online. Can be sling, and can be waist. Seems durable from a video of it being stomped. Problem price wise, kinda expensive compared to other brands, and that's not including the shipping fees... =_=". Here's the link.



The main reason I want a big bag to store 2 bodies is for event photography. No time to switch lenses sometimes, so I'd rather have one prime and a zoom on separate bodies. The downside of a big bag is that it gets in the way in tight spaces...

The Mitakon/ZhongYi Speedmaster 50mm F0.95 has a stepless, clickless aperture ring, making it ideal for videography. There's a guy who brings it in to Malaysia with 1 year warranty.

However, it is difficult to manually focus if the subject is moving, and if you plan to record a movie you'll need to have very accurate focus or it will be very annoying to watch.

Hi bro, who's the guy bringing the Speedmaster? Interested to have a look see.
