This week SAR readers photos selection.
Marc Galer on SonyAlphaForum
I am of the firm belief that there is no such thing as ‘good weather’ for taking a photograph. Even a grey day with drizzle offers an opportunity to capture an interesting image. This was captured with Sony’s FE24240. A great choice as a walkabout lens when you don’t really want to be changing lenses when it is raining
1) Submit your picture with a message and picture here: http://ift.tt/1kvK0PS or on the SonyAlphaForum image section.
2) Like and comment the pictures from other readers here: http://ift.tt/13Yf6fV and on SonyAlphaForum.
3) A selection of most liked pictures by the community and by me SAR admin will be posted weekly on SAR.
Note: When sending a pic feel free to also add a link to your site to promote yourself!

Focus Tracking Differences between Sony’s E-Mount and A-Mount Cameras by Gary Friedmann
Gary (video on top): “As I mention in my blog (friedmanarchives.com where this video first appeared), there are a lot of people for whom this situation may never come up. My purpose with the video is to let people better understand how the cameras evolved, and to touch on the strengths and weaknesses of each platform. It’s always useful to know under which circumstances your equipment will hit its limits, even if you never push it that far.”

Bernhard: “I started a little blog about my recent switch from my Canon 5DMKiii to a Sony A7s: http://ift.tt/1DQBy5t. It’s written a little “personal”, to tech charts – only real life experiences. And it’s german only, so it may not be interesting for you. As you sometimes post blogs of readers I thought you may like it.“
