Update a bit. I pulled the trigger for a Sony 14mm f1.8 GM a couple of days ago… should be delivered by the first week of July.

Will update with a review when I get it.

What are the things that you're unhappy with A6400?
I would suggest you ask yourself, did you outgrow your current gears, before buying new gears.
Sometime we wanna buy new gears purely just for GAS (gear acquisition syndrome).

If you wanna update to FF camera, bare in mind that you need to purchase FF lens which are often expensive and bulky.

I am terribly inflicted with GAS…. my camera is better than the photographer’s skill… I feel I’m severely underutilizing the capabilities of my Sony a7c and a7iv….

Go out and take more shots then, that's the only way to improve photography skills.
Good thing is Sony Malaysia organize lots of photography workshops with reasonable price.

Search FB for Sony Store Malaysia, they announce new workshops there.
Workshops registration is here.

Thanks bro… I’ll look around but gotta find equivalent sessions in Singapore where I’m currently based.

Anyway, if the Sony 14mm f1.8 is small enough, that and my Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 will be the 2 carry on lenses for my traveling needs.

I’m also hoping to do night sky photography with the 14mm when I head back to Australia….

My Sony 14mm f1.8 is here!!!! So excited. But it’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be…

looking to get the A6400 with kit lens. any suggestion where to find the best deal? Thanks!

A quick update: the lens itself is considerably bigger than what I expected for a fixed focal length item - maybe because it's full frame, I dunno (since Sony's platform is the first time I've been onboarded to the FF experience), and it isn't really much smaller (shorter) than my Sigma 16-28mm f2.8 lens. I haven't had much of a chance to take any photos yet, but will do so and come back here to report.

Oh u got the 14mm. Great lens choice. This is one of the most favoured lens by one of the Malaysia top wedding photographer, Louis Gan. He used this a lot on wedding to include more architecture shots with the couple to pair with his 50 1.2 GM on another camera.

Just be careful don’t shoot group photos with ppl near the edge. The distortion is quite bad

hi all, any place got good offer for Sony a7C II Mirrorless Camera?

Try Mylo Trading. They offer quite competitive price at KL.

Quick question: I bought my first mirrorless at 2016, the legendary A6000, then left sony for Fuji XT20 because of aweful sony colors and I wasn't good at color processing using Capture One pro 10 back then. Then last years sold my fuji (XT1, XT2 but still keeping the XT3) to move to Canon R6 and R6II for the awesome skintones and AF.

Truth to be told, I constantly look back at Sony because of the awesome 3rd party lenses support. I do have the financial means to get the A7IV + Sigma 50 and the 85....but I know it's my GAS talking but it's getting hard to tame it since I do have the financial ability to own extra gears on top of what I already have.

Over the years, after I started using LR however, my editing skills has improved significantly compared to myself back in 2016. So, the question is, should I return to the dark side (Sony) ? The A6000 yellowish tint still haunt me to this days especially I look back at those photos I've taken with it in the 2016 to 2018 duration....


If Canon allow 3rd party lenses for the FF offering, I won't have to struggle so much..... Canon...

If you have the financial means then go for it. What's life if not with a bit of indulgence? This is only because you can afford of course.

I agree somewhat with the baked raw files that have different interpretation of their color science for the different manufacturers but with a simple click in LR, you can change it to your liking very easily these days

LR and a good collection of presets can work very well. The Sony colours don’t bother me much

true, photos are almost always post-process/edited nowadays

the lens lineup is always a good choice to pick sony

planning to get my first proper camera in a6700. want to ask any good drybox recommendation? looking to have a6700, sigma 1850 and sigma 561.4.... or any feature to look for a good drybox?

For beginner like me, which model should i go for

Hiniso about 249 normal price one. Cheaper on lapsapda or peepee

A7iii is good but cost in FF lenses

Actually don’t need FF for beginner. Just get a used A6400 and maybe the Tamron 17-70 or a couple of primes you’d be good
