Fancy taking one to the football match Jonney [emoji1]
I can make a special multi-coloured Chroma to match his shoes :0)

Which lens?I'm wanting to part exchange an almost new lens so I've asked for quotations from 3 companies, the spread is astonishing.
Park Cameras £480
Clifton Cameras £600
Wex £690
I'm going to take it into my branch of Jessops where I buy almost all my gear, be interesting to see what they offer.
I haven't compared the two but previously I used the A7RII which has the same EVF as A7III. I never had any issues with it TBH. I now have A7RIII and it is nicer but I could get equally good pictures with the other EVF.I got to try both the 3 and r3 in shop today and I thought the EVF on the r3 was significantly better than on the 3. Made a really big difference.
I wasn’t previously considering the r3 due to additional cost, but now seriously thinking about it. Has anyone else directly compared the two - what is the consensus, worth the upgrade?
Have you tried MPB, they are usually quite competitive and pay what they say.I'm wanting to part exchange an almost new lens so I've asked for quotations from 3 companies, the spread is astonishing.

Large format (4x5), but can use any back so can shoot anything from 35mm to 4x5. I'm currently working on a wet/dry plate holder, along with Instax Wide and panoramic medium format backs.
Sony 16-35 F4 ZAWhich lens?
£690 is an excellent price since they sell for only slightly more used.Sony 16-35 F4 ZA

I'm looking to buy the Sigma Art 135 1.8, their price is the same as the others except for Jessops who often haven't got a clue but fortunately will price match.£690 is an excellent price since they sell for only slightly more used.
Then again you are forced to spend it in Wex.

Do you have a website for this?
They are very good prices indeed but they appear to be grey market suppliers and I'm not so keen on them as I used to be. I bought a Sony FE 1.4x teleconverter from a Hong Kong supplier as they were literally the only place in the world that had them in stock.Toby deals have those at good money. About £850 from memory but obviously won’t be able to trade in.
Efinity have them for under £900 as well.

The price was about £485 and the ticket on the front of the delivery packet stated the value was £28. I'm not criticizing in any way people who would trade with a grey market supplier, I have many times over the years, but I'm happier going to a "shop" nowadays.
Thanks for the heads up though
Just a slip of the pen, Your Honourah £485 and £28, an easy mistake to make for anyone
Depends really, do you put a better EVF ahead of a better AF system and a big saving?
Also price difference with digitalrev is only 200 quid!How significant is the autofocus difference between the 2?
The main difference is A7III has a larger frame coverage i.e. entire frame as suppose to 60% of the frame in A7RIII.How significant is the autofocus difference between the 2?

Not looking so good for Z7....
I always thought Sony couldn't squeeze as much as Nikon out of their sensors which seemed odd to me but it seems they were doing as well as they could with PDAF points in the sensor which Nikon DSLRs don't have to deal with.
Not bad for a revamped 4 year old sensor in case of A7RIII
To be fair A7III is the latest FF sensor on market right now. So no surprise it's class leading.Look at that A7iii though! Sony said a couple years back they were keeping their best sensors to themselves from then on.
The A7 III inherits the autofocus system of the Sony A9. Although it doesn’t share the same calculation speed as the flagship model, it retains the same number of phase detection points (693) while increasing the contrast detection points to 425. The A7R III shares the same number of contrast detection points but has fewer phase detection points (399).
The improve in AF works for everything that moves, not just sports. Like kids running, like quick snap in street photography.
Think of it like this.
If you value mega pixels, like if you PRINT and if you take lots of photos with tripods or things like food or things that stands around. A7R3.
If you don't print that much, or print Large, get the A73.
The EVF and high res is nice, but ultimately is not what affect the final result, unless this is something you value a lot.
Continuous, smallest focal point. Move with Joytick. Unless I can use eye-Af which is configured to a button.
Annoyingly I'm down the middle with my requirements here! I do display pics on a large 4k TV and print as canvas', so the extra MP helps a lot. Likewise the better AF really appears, one of my pet hates is my number of throwaways due to missing the AF point!
The EVF - agreed not a deal breaker either way, but it is very noticeably better in the R. Argh - decisions decisions!
A 4K tv is only displaying around 8.5 megapixels and printing on canvas is much less critical. I’m looking at a 3x2’ canvas on my wall here that was shot on my old Panasonic GF1 so an A7iii would be more than enough for either situation.
The cropability of the A7Riii is an advantage if you want to shoot more telephoto without a longer lens, or to change composition etc, but I wouldn’t buy one specifically for displaying on a tv/canvas.
Yes has just been reading up on its crop mode, sounds very useful and still at 18.
See your point re canvas & TV, I've currently got pics on both that have been shot with 22mb and they're all fine.
Price is really not a differentiator for me as the grey price for the R is only a few hundred quid more. With that out of the picture I'm still leaning towards the R right now!

First dance I’ll switch to zone.
Same, ael as eye af or fn on lens and I use af on. Joystick set to reset point when depressed.
