Yep heard that it's better now I'm happy with my kit for the time being well until the a7 iii bodies come out ..... or the mythical a9..... or even the Sony branded medium format camera lol
We'll see how long you last

Lmao not long already thinking if trading in the 5dsr and lens for a 1dx ii lol
Only if you shoot sport
@addicknchips your right tbh I have the 5dsr and its not getting used going to poss grad 1dxii for a new hobby of birds etc and football
But it's not full frame.Yeah, because you save the 100-200g on the body, the reg distance is also shorter so the setup appears smaller, the lens isnt actually any smaller than the DSLR equiv. I see it the same way, system makes most sense with smaller / slower AF primes or adapted glass. If people want to get ridiculous then theres the GM1 and kit lens.

How much better is the DR on the A7rii over the A7ii

Nope certainly isn't everything. .. I think dr is defo something that people use to compare now but if u nail the shot u don't really need to use dr to the full
Actually the first bit is correct from what I can see. The 'gap' makes up for the reg distance. All you need to do is compare the fe lenses size to regular ff lenses and you'll find the size and weight is very similar.
Yeah he is correct. It's just the bitterness and hate he has for they system that gets me.

No defo not always ease but It depends what you shoot I guess portraits.etc require a lot less.... and no imho canon can't match the best ....... YET lol
I was wondering how people find the lens choice for the A7 or you have already resorted to Sony A or Canon lenses with adapter?
On that note is there an old era lens you think it is definitely worth having, I have read so many reviews and I am having troubles trusting people now Every review states a different thing...
I just went for mass market cheap stuff and it's ok for whole images and even cropping if you don't expect modern levels of sharpness across the frame and don't mind some CA and vignetting
It really depends upon what you want to do. An old macro lens could be a good idea as macro and close up shooting is often manual anyway, or you could save a few £ by buying manual lenses to cover the focal lengths you don't use so much or don't need AF for.
If going for new built manual lenses I think I'd go Voigtlander as they look lovely
What is your recommendation for an old 85mm
That may be forgiven if it's better.the image on sar shows the a7x2 being longer and bigger with 24 70 than a canon dslr, which amused me.
I will check out the Minolta 85mmI have three. Minolta Rokkor 85mm f2, Olympus Zuiko 85mm f2 and Canon FD 85mm f1.8.
I'd rate them as follows... The Minolta is the sharpest and suffers fewer optical nasties. The FD is next but fringing on highlights can be epic, the Zuiko comes in last and initially looks soft at wider apertures but sharpens up nicely on the pc.
All are ok for whole images when viewed on screen or reasonably sized prints and you'd have to be shooting at the widest apertures or in very demanding conditions (stuff like dark subject against bright backlit scene...) or you'd have to pixel peep or print BIG and nit pick.
There are quite a few different versions.I will check out the Minolta 85mm
