No I am not complaining about him suggesting an alternative which I am thankful for.Are you really complaining that he suggested a battery that is almost 50% cheaper?
They are £30
For £26 more I could get a genuine one or for less import a genuine one from HK
CheersYou didn't say you wanted a battery for 50p.
I'll tape some old flat AAs together for you.
Cheers
Like I said I wasn't complaining at you for the suggestion.
Currently wondering if the 'genuine' ones from HK (eBay) really are genuine Sony.
I think you need to head down to the optician sharpish.
Sony APS-C like A6300 or A6500 are probably a better comparison to XT2 and rest of fuji.Although I don't entirely agree, the Fuji XT-2 files didn't blow me away when compared to my original Sony A7 images for noise / ISO and DR abilities. On paper however they seem very close and the Auto-Focus system on the XT-2 was miles ahead of the Sony A7 / A7 II's system.
So I guess it comes down to what you prefer.
So what Sony gear do you have?
Are you ditching Fuji again?

i found his statement pretty disrespectful to anyone who has ever posted photos in those threads. not the first time and won't be the last i guess.
don't have any sony gear yet but due an a7r2 and batis 25mm. I've just had over £1000 come out of my account fraudulently so that is currently on hold while the bank do their thing.
used the xt1 on an engagement shoot last night. that camera will be going and so will the 23mm. might keep hold of the 56mm and look for a pro2.
Yeah I hear what your saying, I found the Fuji system has a certain charm, but because I was spoiled with FF previous I just had to return.
Hopefully the banks can sort it out and you can get into full Sony GAS lol
I am planning to build a home cinema so my Sony GAS days are numbered lol

@jonneymendozaHave you ordered the new Sony A10 home cinema AV unit?
You can attach GMaster speakers to it
Also, from what you have posted, and don't take it negatively, the files you posted, the colours from the A7 are frankly unacceptable to me, in my opinion, I would not deliver those to my clients.
So yes, old Sony cameras would not get a recommendation.
Wait, what. You're honestly saying you wouldn't be able to get a set of files out of an original A7 that you could deliver to a client? Is that a joke?
Do you provide your clients unedited jpegs straight out of camera or something? Cause short of that, your answer is completely baffling.
heheI am sure I can.
But my point was based solely on what he has posted, if that is indicative of what is produced from the A7 with those manual lenses, that is unacceptable.
50 1.4 Planar on its way to me
Cheaper in the long run to get the best to begin with
They are £30
For £26 more I could get a genuine one or for less import a genuine one from HK
I have found them for £56The Ebay ones are generally fakes. A good clue is that they all have the same serial number on the hologram (it ends in 9E - possibly 59E or 89E). I've not found a genuine one for less than £70.
I am sure I can.

The 50 was an easyish choice, there is only one best..... 35 is a minefield.
It's the best 50 I have used. I don't really use that focal length much
I use 35-40mm a lot and sony is

55 is a touch tight for me, but the size and portability of that lens means I can’t get rid!
40 is my sweet spot, I reckon. Would be awesome to have a good AF 40 on E mount.

I have found them for £56
Thanks for the tip I'll check the serial number.
Bristol camerasAny chance of sharing - that's a great price if genuine. I've seen others claiming to be genuine for £27....
So you’re saying, based on a non-professional, enthusiast photographer using 20-30 year old lenses, that his results are “unacceptable?”
Do you know many professional photographers using cheap film lenses on modern digital bodies and providing those photos to clients? I certainly can’t think of any.
If anything, this whole thing just comes across as judgemental, sneering and in very poor taste. I’m pretty sure you know that the original A7 is more than capable, but can’t resist a snide remark to another user. Pathetic.
I’ve been thinking about chopping in my Fuji kit and dipping a toe into Sony water with an older model to see how it feels. I’ll be honest and say I’ve been a bit underwhelmed when I’ve picked them up previously but hey I need to be a bit more prudent about these things at present.
I was thinking about picking up an older A7R or A7ii as the used prices on these are pretty good now.
In truth I don’t need the huge MP of the a7r2 which is what led me to look at the A7ii to start really. I’m also not really wanting to drop a huge amount of cash on the new a7iiir until I know Sony is for me.
I’m wondering if anyone here is still using them and their thoughts.
I don’t think the older Sony cameras are a good indication of how good Sony is right now or because to be honest, I’d take a X-T2 over a A7II.
Still cheaper than £75.I was just going to say - £62 with delivery. Still a good price though - best I've seen, and should be the real deal with Bristol Cameras.
The Ebay ones are generally fakes. A good clue is that they all have the same serial number on the hologram (it ends in 9E - possibly 59E or 89E). I've not found a genuine one for less than £70.
I'd say watch out. Loads of fakes.
Still cheaper than £75.
I am in two minds right now. 3rd party or this...
With the new larger batteries I wouldn't need more than a one spare I think.
I said it was the best price I'd seen
I've got 1 spare. Which feels abnormally few, but has so far been totally fine and I've not fully depleted a single battery yet. I'm tempted to get 1 other, but I generally always have too many batteries. I had 5 with my XT-2 and used at most 4 in a day. I might get a fake for £27 for the third I don't really need.
Yes I know, sorry didn't mean jump on you. Was just thinking out loud about prices
Think I'll buy a genuine one for the first spare.
Just 5? I had 7 genuine Sony ones and 6 3rd party ones at one point (of the older smaller np-fw50 ones that is)
Funnily I hadn't even paid for most of them, I somehow amassed them lol
