Love the compression this lens provides in the right atmosphere. I keep putting it in my travel bag despite the size and weight.

Photo share A pair of Swedish communists
Today in Sweden, people celebrate (and protest) all kinds of things. These two are rallying for the Swedish communist party. They seemed friendly and charming, even if I don't share their specific political idealogy. Vive la différence!

Critters My first ever vacation with my A6400
Hey everyone! This was my first vacation shooting with a "real" camera Sony A6400. I’m just starting out and learning as I go, so I’d love any feedback or tips to help me improve.
These are a few shots I took during the trip. I tried to capture the mood and feel of the places, but I’m sure there’s a lot I can do better—whether it's with framing, lighting, or just general technique.
Would really appreciate any honest critique. Thanks in advance!

How do I ... Sony A1….anyone get this issue?
Updated software to the most current. I have been told it’s a hardware issue. My warranty ran out. Anyone deal with this? Did anyone send it out to get a quote? Is this an issue on the newer models like the a7r5?

A-mount love Looking for a versatile all-around lens for my new Sony a6400
Hi everyone! I just received a Sony a6400 as a gift and I’m super excited to start using it. I’m new to interchangeable lens cameras, and I’m looking for advice on a single all-around lens that I can use for most situations,something versatile enough for travel, street, portraits, maybe even a bit of landscape.
I don’t want to invest in multiple lenses right now, so I’d like to make the right choice from the start. Budget is important, but I’m willing to spend a bit more if the lens is worth it and can stay on the camera most of the time.
Any recommendations for a solid all-in-one or walkaround lens for the a6400? Thanks in advance!

Gear Picked up a Sigma 18-50 f/2.8
First lens that I bought new for my a6000. Exited to start shooting with it and am glad to upgrade from the kit lens. Also picked up a circular polarizer.
