[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 402218, member: 21543"] @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-9701-tedg954.html"]TedG954[/URL]-do you stay in C-town for the whole summer? I do understand what you're saying about only shooting so much of the same thing. I think that grabs us all. I guess I just love the atmosphere of So. Florida. We'll probably be going to Myrtle Beach for a few days in February for my annual birthday trip. I get some nice shots down there if the weather cooperates. Love going to the beach. I'm glad your Sony system is working out so good for you and is what you wanted. I think you made a great decision. I first started paying attention to Sony's cameras with the NEX line. One of the bloggers from Cruise Critics blogged his trips using the NEX and I was comparing his pictures to my Nikon. I couldn't believe how sharp his pictures looked, and then started thinking about the size difference. When Sony decided to come out with the A7, and it was full frame, I knew I had to have one. I am anticipating our trip to Germany (if we can afford it) and overall travelling, and after buying all the top of the line Nikon zoom glass, and seeing how heavy they were, I just realized I would have problems with all that gear, when travelling. I love the sharpness of Nikon glass, but Sony and Zeiss are right up there too. I hated selling all of my Nikon glass but something had to give. I later decided I stll wanted some Nikon, bu not FX. I went back and bought the D7100 again. I only use the 18-140, but it works beautifully for what I want it for. I may spring later for a Sigma 105 for macro, or a Tam-zooka. The only reason I am really inclined not to go the Tam-zooka route is this really isn't much of a birding area. I don't see many, and what I do see are usually so far out of reach and hidden in the branches in the summer that the TAM wouldn't do me much good. [/QUOTE]
