    Digiscoping with the Sony a6000.

    My traditional late winter photo season was bad so didn't took many photos. In April I was in Finland and could take some photos. Besides the ones I took with a X95 (I posted a couple at http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=274270&page=2 I mention here again that the a6000 with the compact...

    Digiscoping with the Sony a6000.

    I did some tests with digiscopy solutions and the TMB combo works fine with the 16-50mm zoom and the auto focus work well until 40mm - over that I must pass to manual focus but it's easy and fast using Fn fast menu. Noticed one detail: - some times the a6000 goes high on ISO without really...

    Digiscoping with the Sony a6000.

    Nice Gary :t: With the new autofocus system of this camera it would be interesting to see how it works with a 30mm lens (Sony or Sigma) for digiscopy...o:D This camera most probably will replace my NEX5 but I'm interested to know how good is the 4x digital zoom video function - see...
