Proof that I am going mad if I'm taking pics of flowers during a walk!

Are you mostly a city boy Raymond?
Any good?The rumor site has a Tamron 70-180mm review...

I just wondered. I'm don't like city life. 200 yards walk and I can almost forget I'm at the edge of town but the hills are a little further away. Maybe 20-30 minutes walk. The beach is 29 minutes drive.

I'd rather spend that on rent and food in times like theseStill listed as £1349 at the moment UK. I'm thinking I'd rather spend that on trips or wild camping gear.

Nice, I will give the Brenizer technique a go at some point. Want to do some of the Harley. Was this the 85mm f1.4?42 image stitch, just because..

My XT-2 kit went off to MPB just before the lockdown started. This has given me much too much time to spend thinking about replacements, looking at YouTube and so on.
Looked at some Tony Northrup stuff (yes I know, but I really have too much free time) and he claims that the Sony sensors in both A7R... and Z7 are really prone to gathering dust. He has to clean the sensor every time he goes out.
This wasn’t my experience with Fuji mirrorless or her indoors’ Olympi. Have you noticed dust at all? And is there really a lot of it?
A full frame sensor is twice the size of APS-C and 4 time size of m43. So mathematically speaking there is twice and 4x the area for the dust to stick on respectively
But in reality I imagine they are just as dust prone as any other mirrorless camera. EOS R/P gets by this by closing the shutter when the camera is off. Recently Sony added this feature via. a fw update to A9II. They may or may not update other A7 bodies (the certainly won't update 2nd gen ones).
IMO its a non-issue blown out of proportion by the internet just like silly biggerdickmount is better debate
But if it really bothers you there is the option of going the canon route or splashing out on A9II

A9II is a bit out of my league. And anyway I mostly take snaps of stuff that stands still.
Do bigger sensors gather more crap than smaller ones, generally? Dunno.
Just thought I'd ask about actual real world experience before I plonked down my plastic.

I use my equipment a lot and have 6 Sony bodies. 4 of those I have had for about 18 months or so maybe a bit longer and I haven’t needed to give any of them a wet clean yet.
I have picked up the odd dust bunny but a rocket blower has always managed to shift it. I check them before every session.
I’ve had the Z7 which never needed a clean, and now the A7RIV which I’ve rocket blown one for a solitary piece of dust, my experience so far has been that they’ve needed less cleaning than the DSLRs I’ve had, for whatever reason.My XT-2 kit went off to MPB just before the lockdown started.

As a prime shooter do you mainly shoot at wide apertures?I haven't wet cleaned mine for over a year. And I shoot prime lenses too.

you have enough bodies there to not need many lens changes
You need 10 more bodiesI also have 16 lenses

How many are duplicates?

If you consider selling one of them.... Let us know. At least it won't be decentredJust the one we have 2 x Tamron 17-28 f/2.8’s although there is a few of the same focal lengths.

Hello everyone,
I have come across a second hand A7r ii with a £850 price tag. The camera is in great condition however the shutter count is 120,000. Is this too high?
Paul, lovely pictures but is she levitating there?
