Bought the Sony A7 full frame for $1381, which includes the lens (28-70). It was a refurbed one with only 65 clicks on it. Now, I have time to play with it for 30 days to see if I like it or not.

Very cool! Hope you have plenty of time to run it through its paces...looking forward to seeing images off it!

Ah, so you did pull the trigger on this, congrats! Waiting to hear what you think about her.

How does it compare to the 610?

Sigma 12-24 and MB-D14 battery grip for the D610. Can't believe the size of that front element and the FOV is unreal. I need to get out for a play!

Hard to say @Blacktop....I have great glass on the D610 and meh glass on the A7. Size impresses me. Love the smaller size. Probably order a lens or two for the A7. Or, just might order a fotodiox adapter for my Nikon to Sony lenses. Thinking of options. I've seen some brilliant pictures taken with the Sony with good glass. Overall, I lke the menu and layout of the Sony, but I'm used to the Nikon. Will let you know for sure later!

I've got a great Sony TV.....had it for 5 years and it's still running strong. My Samsung, which was higher rated, shit the bed after only 1 year. They couldn't fix it so I got the Sony under warranty. Don't regret it a bit. Don't forget the D600 now Blacktop. Nothings perfect!

Hoya 52mm CPL ...

I do love me a good CPL (and Hoya, FTW); I don't shoot outdoors without one...

Black Rapid wrist strap. Don't know why I haven't bought one already.

Yeah, we don't either and, frankly, *it's been a little annoying.

I prefer to attach mine to the carry lug, though... Go ahead and call me precious but I'm not a fan of my camera hanging from the tripod mount.

Wait until you really know me! I agree my BR strap and this one will go on the carry lug, I like this much better as well, Plus with the D7100 it can attach directly to the lug. No need for a Bostail or simular.

I need to learn more about strap/carry options for the D7100 now that I have real carry lugs on my camera body.

I love the BR Wrist Strap. I've carried my D7100 (with battery grip) with a Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 (about 3 Lbs all by itself) on all-day shoots pretty comfortably. I used to use a sling strap 99% of the time but it's been replaced by the wrist strap. Mainly because I don't like bulky stuff. It's why I use a BosStrap sling-strap vs. any of the BR sling-straps; where the BR straps are thick and stiff and almost over-engineered (just my opinion) the BosStrap is light and flexible. The BR wrist strap is even more minimalistic, and that's why I love it. At first I thought I'd miss not having both hands free, as I do when I'm using a sling, but it turns out I prefer having the camera in my hand as I carry. I still have my sling, and still use it, but the wrist strap is the new daily-carry solution.

If you have really big hands, you may not like it. I have larger than average paws and I can make it work fine, but for those with real "catchers mitts" this may not be the case. I also wish the branding was a little less billboard like.

Picked up a Nikkor 35mm 1.8G lens at the weekend at long last (well only four months but I meant to get one right away). I already feel like its making me think more about where I'm standing and composition before taking the shot. My 70-300 has now got stiff competition for its place on my D3200.

 

[egosbar]

Love my Tok' 11-16mm. Difficult to use well in a creative sense (at least for me!) but the lens itself, really, leaves nothing to be desired.

watch art wolfe videos , get in close , get low etc and you increase the chance of creative shots , heres a photo from the first shoot , got 1700 likes on facebook which was cool
