it's the 55-210.... seems like every time I put the camera down, it'd lose focus.... the Canon is always wherever you left it. ...and actually finding the focus is much faster with the Canon.

I won't be trading it in though... I looked it up on BH and it's like $40 ....and that's without taking the giant scratch on the LCD into account.

 

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...

 

 

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

 

 

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?

 

 

This.

 

I sold all my Nikon stuff 2 years ago when I switched to the XT2...I did keep my film body and I kept my shitty 50 because it has oil on the blades.

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.

 

 

Nope. Would love one but the XT2 isn't worth enough on the secondary market.

Assuming I move forward with my plan, you'll never guess. Trust me.

 

 

 

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

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

 

Ah so it does basically what a cell phone camera does to try and always keep things in focus. That's lame but good that it can be turned off. I've never had an interchangeable lens camera with that "feature"...

 

 

 

Fuji XT2

 

 

Got one more...hopefully picking it up tomorrow.

 

Sadly it didnt work as the lens' coating was wearing away in places. BUT...I knew of a shop up north that had one, a tad more than I wanted to spend but I ordered it. And when it arrives that complete my set.
