Good morning all,
I'm hoping someone can tell me my nagging thoughts are unfounded and to get my bum out in the countryside.
I've had my Sony A7riii and Tamron 28-70 for about a month so far and am very happy with the pictures I'm getting out of it so far. I have an itchy order finger to pick up the 70-200 but I have an awful fear of committing to spending any more because on one thing......weather sealing! Living in this beautiful country has the side effect of frequent and random moistness in a downwards and sometimes horizontal direction and I'm worried by the tales of poor sealing on the Sonys. Worried to the point of thinking of a change to a Nikon Z or even a Fuji X-T3, though I've waited to long to scratch the full frame itch so the Fuji is an outsider.
Could someone please tell me it's a stupid idea, or that the sealing is actually ok? I'm not proposing to shoot in monsoons, but being capable of withstanding drizzle would be nice. I know that the Tamron isn't sealed but I think the 16-35 and 70-200 are.
Many thanks, Pete
