Do you still have a Sony camera these days?
I see your Fuji ad, wondering what you were swapping to?
Yep. Out with the R4 and 35GM today.

Just thinking.
It's my 60th soon so I was thinking of buying myself a present, but I have alternatives for just about everything I've looked at so I might not bother.
Don't you have an A7, why don't you go for a later model with a better EVF? I have an A7r2 and I turned 50 3 months ago and we decided to delay the celebration until my 51st next year. That suited me as hopefully the A7IV might be out then or the R version will have dropped further in price. I want the better EVF as my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so that alone is a good enough reason to upgrade as I love my vintage glass.
A better EVF would make using your vintage glass much more pleasurable.
As you can see I have convinced myself into my next upgrade
wasn't quiet it was part of their small lens trinity - 24/2.8G, 40/2.5G and 50/2.5G. Looks like lenses mostly released with A7C in mind but seem fairly good and decent if you don't mind the smaller aperture.

pictures on panamoz seems to be wrong and for the 50mm f1.2 GM
This is all fine, as long as they don’t focus entirely on sharpness and forget rendering. Sometimes a less technically perfect lens actually produces nicer aesthetics (subjective of course )A nice read on DPR about lens designs and why modern 50mm f1.x's are so much bigger and more complex than older lenses...
Why are modern 50mm lenses so damned complicated?
Why are modern 50mm lenses so complex? Lens designers didn't add all that extra glass just to charge more money and make the diagram look cool, explains Roger Cicala.www.dpreview.com

I've been thinking about selling (or try to sell) my MFT kit as I hardly use it these days but the 45-150mm and 100-400mm have so far stopped me as they're nice just to take pictures of visitors to the garden. The lack of DR v my A7 is really noticeable to me though.
I sold all my Oly Kit. The Sony Full Frame wasn't wildly bigger and is much more powerful. If Olympus had made a better sensor I might have considered keeping it but I shoot at high iso quite often and love shallow depth of field. Sony just about matched the size and was much better for what I need. The Olympus kit was so to use, fitted in the hand well and the live preview and pro capture are things I can't understand why other manufacturers don't try and emulate.I've been thinking about selling (or try to sell) my MFT kit as I hardly use it these days but the 45-150mm and 100-400mm have so far stopped me as they're nice just to take pictures of visitors to the garden.

Guys, what would you pick for a general walk around lens out of these? I've already got an 18mm Samyang but its to wide for a lot of stuff.
- Samyang 24mm 2.8
- Samyang 35mm 2.8
- Sony 28mm 2

review of the 35GM

TL;DR: its awesome, everyone should have one
I've been very impressed with the Samyang 35mm F1.8. Nice and sharp, well made and pretty reasonable. They go very cheap on ebay if you are patientreview of the 35GM

That's why I provided a TL;DRHe is VERY dry but he is thorough and detailed.
Thanks for the suggestions guys I think I'll trade the 18mm in and use the extra cash to get the 35 1.8 Samyang
I sometimes regret selling my Olly gear, the Sony 100-400mm is that bit too heavy for me to comfortably/easily do slow speed pans, the Panny 100-400mm was much easier in this regard. I was always happy with the IQ from the Olly for what I used it for, but there's not doubt FF has better 'pop' and less noisy.I sold all my Oly Kit.

As above, the 35mm f1.8 is a more versatile lens but if you want a compact package then the 35mm f2.8 is hard to beat.Guys, what would you pick for a general walk around lens out of these? I've already got an 18mm Samyang but its to wide for a lot of stuff.

Thanks, very kind.your motorsport shots with Olympus were top drawer.
perhaps sigma 100-400mm is the answer for youI sometimes regret selling my Olly gear, the Sony 100-400mm is that bit too heavy for me to comfortably/easily do slow speed pans, the Panny 100-400mm was much easier in this regard.

I think I've got over the gas I as suffering the other day. I now see no point in buying anything
I'm going to take my Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 out today as I can't remember the last time I used it.
