And of course it may look smaller and lighter than a DSLR but that's just illusory.The only issue with the A9 is the price!

Gotta Love the Samyang 12mm:
lol had Alan,sold it a year or so ago, but just observed the 750 thread is steady though nothing like it was 12 months agoI think someone left the door open again... the riff raff are getting in!
Chris, if you have a D750 you must find it quite a disappointment after the G1?

oh no here we go againBut maybe not for too much longer
correct, but unfortunately I sold the G1 also, regretted it for a while though, went to a friend if I'm not mistaken,ive been through so much gear recently I'm having a breakAh, that was a good camera and it served me well. I hope it went to a good home.
Ah again, just reread and I assume you sold the Nikon? Still got the G1 then????
I'm looking for a "longer" lens to go with my existing kit (which peaks at the 70mm on the 24-70). I'm off to Berlin for a week and can see a few opportunities for taking longer focal length shots from the TV Tower and some other viewpoints. I've looked at the native options and realistically I'm probably looking at a zoom which means the 70-200 f4 or 70-300 FE but is anyone using any other non-native lenses at a good price point? I'm not too bothered if I have to pickup a Canon or Sony adapter as I'm sure I might try other lenses from them in future.
I'd love to just buy the Sony 85 f1.8 or Batis 85/Loxia 85 but I'm not sure thats going to be long enough and its not really much more than the 70mm end of the 24-70.....
I sometimes miss that camera. They're old tech now but there's something about the look of the pictures at ISO 100-400 that I like.correct, but unfortunately I sold the G1 also, regretted it for a while though, went to a friend if I'm not mistaken,ive been through so much gear recently I'm having a break
Thanks Chris looks like I will give it a miss. Like I said quite fancy the latest version but can't justify the price myself.I had a couple of copies of the 24-70 f4 a few years back, there seems to be huge sample variation, if you get a good one its a good lens, not as good as the f2.8 but good. However if you get a bad one its truly awful.

oh no here we go again
I thought you'd posted that first one with the orientation wrong when I first looked
Again? I've only switched once but I guess it could seem like I've done it multiple times
My entire camera history which may surprise some....
Nikon D40
Fuji X100
Nikon D7000
Sony A7
Sony A7II
Sony A7RII
Fuji XT-2
And back to Sony once I have decided on a body and done some number crunching.
So a total of only 8 bodies in my life-time, hardly a big GAS problem
Yes i agree not too many changes ,more i was thinking the cost of your change you buy the good expensive stuff
I'm temptedAnyone ordered the 12-24 f4 or 16-35 f2.8? I pre-ordered the 12-24 but bought a Loxia 21 when I realised thw 12-24 wasn't out until after my holiday but WEX have shipped it today!
Chris
I'm tempted
I forgot it doesn't have a filter thread though, the 16-35 takes 82mm which is handy, although I suspect 100mm filters probably wouldn't be wide enough on that one at 16mm
Amazon have the FE 70-200mm f2.8 GM on for around £2250, so a £250 saving if anybody is looking
Any interest in doing a little stock take of what everyone has?
So is yours due tomorrow
I watched a review of the A7ii and the guy stated that to change the focus point you have to go into the menu? Is this correct? The review is quite old though so perhaps it's been rectified with a firmware update?

Still two steps on A7R2. You got to put it on af selection mode. A9 ofncours is a has a dedicated joystick that u can even use as a back button focusYeah like Alan said you basically press a button which activates the af movement then you can move the point.... with your Nikon you just press the d pad side arrow and it moves. Basically 2 step process vs 1... I think the a7rii and a9 allow a 1 step process now though although I may be wrong.

Yup. It's the end of the world or if it isn't it stops you using the camera as that extra button push makes it absolutely uselessThat sucks. I hate 2 step.

But at least having to press a button and then move your finger / thumb 5mm isn't usually fatal and does prevent accidental movement of the focus point.
