As I promised in my last post I was going to speak about our Sunday walks in Snowdonia. We slept really well after strolling down from Snowdon the previous day and left the B&B ony around 10am. We didn’t want to have a longer challenging walk so we decided to check out the local beach along the Promenade, the Marina and National Trust’s Dinas Oleu (Citadel Of Light) up on the hill. This is a gorse-covered hill where the view towards the Mawwdach Estuary is worth every penny. The tide was out so I had the chance to take a couple of photos around the area.
REVIEW: Tamron SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 VC USD On Sony A7II
So far my longest lens for landscape was the Zeiss Sonnar 55mm F1.8 in my bag. Recently I often found myself in situations where I wanted just an intimate crop in the frame and 55mm proved to be not long enough on the Sony A7II. For full frame E-mount there is no budget tele-zoom option. Either you buy one of the FE 70-200mm versions or the FE 70-300mm. I consider the 100-400mm GM too heavy for myself. All these lenses cost a fortune and I don't want to spend that much. Fortunately adapting Canon lenses to Sony bodies is relatively easy and there are lot of different auto focus adapters available. I picked the Canon version of the highly regarded Tamron SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 VC USD lens used from eBay and a Viltrox EF-NEX IV auto focus adapter.
