The all new slap bang up to date photo of the day 2021! - Page 15 - SV650.org

The quality of Sony glass is astonishing, compared to the basic lenses I had on my old Canon. It's one of the reasons I swapped. Canon do fantastic glass in their L-Series but it's aimed primarily at full frame shooters and is really heavy - I wanted to stick with crop sensor as it's a lighter form factor and Sony do G glass specifically for that range as well. It's a lot lighter than the full frame G and GMaster glass, even though the mount is the same) so that's what I went for. Much better focussing, lighter, better glass, EVF as it is mirrorless - I'm a happy bunny.

That shot is using the 70-350G, wide open at 350 at minimum focussing distance, no crop, JPEG, straight out of the camera with no tweaks.

You shouldn't lay a bike down on the gears side !

Ahh, that'll be why it burst into a ball of flames shortly after that picture

I like the colour combinations in the first and last pictures Darren. Why is that horse wearing a blindfold though?

The space normally occupied by my faithful old curvy is temporarily being used by this rather pretty machine.

Very nice. I'm quite tempted by them.

It's a lovely, comfy, "soft" bike to ride. Handles really well, and has a surprising amount of low-down oomph for a low powered bike.

To keep the flies out.

I'm not sure. My guess was it had an eye infection maybe from flies
