Yea the 16-50mm kit lens isn't really that great of a lens :shrug: but i would imagine the a6000 would have way better AF than the SL1/SL2 :scratch: |

I'm a sucker for all things PD at this point. Just do it... Came in super handy to have my camera easily accessible while hiking. other than that, I don't think I'd actually use it very often :dunno: |

I looked it up on BH and it's like $40 :snicker: ....and that's without taking the giant scratch on the LCD into account. |

It was a mistake. It was nice at Disney being a little more compact, but it sucks at the kiddos sports events. The Sl1 is like a million times faster. Maybe it's the lens that came with it? I dunno, but I'm thinking about trading both cameras in on the SL2 or maybe something a little better if it doesn't cost me anything.

I think that's the point? No regrets in the purchase for me, works awesome. I can also see it coming in handy when doing portrait sessions so you can quick snap the camera in place to pose people and then take it out quickly after.

Anyways no ragrets with the purchase either. I like it. |

You can clip it to your belt which is what I'd do in that case.

Sarlacc -- It looks like you're doing what I did with Fuji gear
Three years ago I decided to get rid of all my Nikon gear and replace it with Fuji as it was smaller and lighter. I bought the same Fuji lenses you have (if my memory is right), an XE2 body, and some other stuff. With my poor (especially my right) eyes, I just could not focus so well with the mirrorless camera body. My son got all the Fuji gear the following Christmas (a big hit with him!) and I recently expanded the Nikon DX lens collection. Now it's past time to get rid of most of my Nikon FX lenses that are too bulky and heavy in order to pay for the small difference between the price I got for the 2003 S2000 that I traded in a month ago and the (heavily negotiated) cost of the almost unused 2014 TSX Sedan SE from the dealer. (The new car should do the job better in northern New Mexico's climate, but I will always miss the S2000!) Good luck with the Fuji gear. They really make wonderful lenses.
The 85mm Nikon f/1.8 lens that you have is their best portrait model ever, IMO. However, I am trying my best to limit myself to renting (or possibly buying) the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 as I am only two and a half hours from Bosque del Apache (you may want to look it up if you don't know it). Also, I want to start photographing the wild horses that are pretty close to where I live as well as elsewhere. What do people on this board mainly photograph? |
Mainly landscapes and pics while traveling. |

I'm actually in the process of buying specific AI-S model lenses for something I'm more than likely going to be dumping a metric shit ton of money into...and hopefully it wont bite me in the ass. I'm currently debating about dropping $3k on the rare 58 1.2 Noct-Nikkor...I'm just mad that its value is more than when it was new. |
Do I see an X-H1 in your foreseeable future? :ponder: |

Well I was gonna guess a Sony (A7iii or FS5mkii) but I'm gonna a assume that'd be wrong. :chuckle: or maybe a Canon C700 FF :chuckle: |

If you're using the longer lens, it's not a very good one. The A6000 series has a better AF system than the A7 series (or at least it used to) so there's probably something else going on. The AF on mine doesn't move until you hit the focus button again so I'm guessing there's something jacked up in your settings. Make sure you have PDAF enabled and, again IMO, use just the center focus point.
You probably need to check your settings... i think i know what hes talking about. It does a similar thing on my much older NEX-6. Basically the camera is always running with continuous AF even thou the camera is set to single shot and without even half pressing on the shutter. on my NEX-6 when I point the camera at something, it will focus. If i recompose and point at something else the camera will refocus on where ever the AF point is (i use center point, but it does the same in multi) I dont have to half press the shutter or anything. if that makes any sense :shrug: anyways not sure how to turn that off (if i can). The a6000 might have the option since its a newer cam but im not sure. |
OK the term is Pre-AF. And it looks like you can turn it off on the a6000.
It cant be done on my NEX-6. |
thanks... I will look through settings
