Sony A6000

[Nick]

To be honest, my biggest hesitation on purchasing better equipment though (besides the fact that I'm cheap), is that I'm definitely held back by skill and experience, not equipment. As bad as I want to upgrade, I know that what I need most to improve is more practice and more experience.

I call bullshit on that. You are a fine photographer right now, John. In a year, or two or three, from now when you see it, you'll look back and wish you'd captured that stuff with better equipment. Or at least that's how I felt on my journey of hesitation to eventually upgrade to the 'big guns'.

You're a very kind guy Nick. I appreciate the vote of confidence. I know what you mean about regretting it later. I especially regret the years I hiked and never bothered taking a camera at all.

Just picked up a a6000... that 10-18 lens is looking very appealing. Any tips for any polarizing filters?

I love my Sony A6000 and have used it for most of the summer. I think I will do the switch to the Sony A 7 II in the near future and sell my Nikon gear

here a just a few shots taken handheld on a moving boat during a big swell. The camera performed awesome

If interested I can post a little trip report

some images were taken with the 55-210mm, some with the 16-50mm kit lens. I also have the 12mm Rokinon, but it was not really helpful for most of the time with lava images.

Yes! Please do. Those shots are quite the teaser.

I'm really tempted to get the lens. It is the one I need for some of my underwater photo shoots. I can't use the Rokinon for it, because I need an autofocus lens. I tried to find a good used one but was not really lucky so far.

Go for it.

Go for it.

I finally pulled the trigger for the lens together with the AquaTech housing. This will be fun to have theA6000 in the water and take surf pictures and wave pictures in the style of Clark Little.
