but what I am asking for can exist.Yep there’s no perfect system unfortunately. I’m still waiting for a FF camera with a 16-600mm f1.8 lens the size and weight of something like the EM5
but what I am asking for can exist.
No reason Sony can't make a 40mp APS-C body or make Sony's equivalent of 400mm f4.5 or Nikon to take the AF in Z9 and filter it down to a more affordable smaller body.
Its all possible they just want to spite me I think
Well, it is a zoom, so you have to make concessions...
but what I am asking for can exist.
No reason Sony can't make a 40mp APS-C body (considering they sell the sensor to Fuji!) or make Sony's equivalent of 400mm f4.5 or Nikon to take the AF in Z9 and filter it down to a more affordable smaller body.

Unfortunately no manufacturer seems to have both the lenses and body I'd want
On APS-C (I can't believe I'm saying this!) Sony is the only one with lenses that I'd want or makes sense to me - 11/1.8, 10-20mm, 15/1.4, 16-55/2.8 and 70-350mm.
But body wise for some reason they are hell bent on reusing that old 24mp sensor and won't release something with higher MP. In fact I can get more pixels from crop mode of A7RIV which is silly. Fuji and canon actually have bodies I'd want.
On FF there is nothing on Nikon apart from Z9 which is bloated and expensive with AF that matches A7IV or R5. But they have lenses like the 400mm f4.5, 800mm f6.3 and 24-120mm that I really like.
Why can't one manufacturer do everything
I'm sure Sony look very carefully over the sales data for their different cameras / lenses, and then decide where to put their R&D effort in accordingly.but what I am asking for can exist.

I can't even afford it right now unless I sell something else

One I quite like from yesterday. I accidentally took this at f1.8 but hey-ho and I still like it
Yeah I know, I agreed but then went off ona. tangentbut what I am asking for can exist.

Very nice. Looks a lovely place, where is this?One I quite like from yesterday. I accidentally took this at f1.8 but hey-ho and I still like it
There’s a 100-400 in the classifieds that isn’t much more than the Tamron.
Ahh, always wanted to go there

That's £1 for a chocolate that looks like it came out of a box of Milk Tray. So we got mam some chocolate Brazils instead but even they were £5. I think there were about 15 in the bag.

I'd imagine there is a bit more internal space in an APS-C camera. Doesn't have an EVF either.Proof that Sony can put two near top of camera controls on a RF style body.
Sony FX30 review
Sony drops an APS-C bombshell with this highly capable, highly affordable cinema camera – and it’s the real deal!
"Right now, the Sony FX30 looks like an absolute triumph."
not sure its purely RF style because it could just be A7 style body without the EVF hump because it has no viewfinder.Proof that Sony can put two near top of camera controls on a RF style body.

I’m sure they could, I know they’re not on the grip but cameras like the EM10 and XT-30 have front and rear control dials and they’re pretty small. They have EVF’s too.
You should go
Give me and Mrs WW a nudge and we'll see you there....
It's an expensive place. We popped into a sweet shop to buy mam something and they had a lovely display of chocolates. "I'd like a big bag of those" I said "They're £1 each" said the lady
While I'm here. Mrs WW and boats. A7 and Sony 35mm f1.8.
That's not why I mentioned it though, we were discussing why the A7C Vs this doesn't have one.

Of course you do!
Double glazing salesman ?
had one for a little while and sold my new one to a forum member.
Considered it, decided the flaring issue and the weight made it a no go for me, imagine holding that for 12 hours ? No thanks
I still find this a weird focal length.Bit more on the Tamron 20-40mm. Should see some reviews next month.
Tamron's New 20-40mm f/2.8 Lens is the Smallest and Lightest in its Class
For full-frame Sony E-mount cameras.petapixel.com
It's almost perfect, if it was 20-50 it would be my dream lens covers 99% of my photography.
18-50mm for me, which would still be a compromise as I prefer 16mm, I'd even be happy with it to be f4. I use my 16-35mm far more than my 24-105mm (and 24-70mm when I had it) but I find 35mm a bit restrictive at times. 35mm vs 40mm is neither here nor there for me but there's a big difference between 16mm and 20mm.
I'm really tempted to try a two lens setup for holidays/travel with this lens and tamron 50-400mm.
I was abroad recently, took my 70-350mm which worked really well but crop mode only gives 14mp. Just wish Sony would release a updated APS-C bodyI don't need a travel setup as we are unable to go anywhere that means staying overnight (except maybe the odd caravan park), I could go on my own but it's not the same as sharing the experience with a partner.
If I'm honest I really only need a decent wildlife camera, the 200-600mm and a macro but I quite enjoy buying lenses (and then selling them months later)
I've got the Sony 20mm f1.8 as well, is the Tamron is good enough could see me selling the Sony.
