Steve Huff compares the Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 M and Sony mount lenses...

hmmm M looks more pleasing to my eye..... pops more. Would've been better if he just used an m-e adapter... bit of a fail.

Only Fuji kit I own at the moment Andrew is a single lens and a godox flash
As to my thoughts, I've only had the A7Rii a couple of hours, but a camera is a camera. I just fancied a change.

I'll shoe horn this one in seeing as it's got an FE mount

Steve, I've just had a look at this and... just WoW
Best of luck with it and please report back on how you get on.
I wouldn't know what to do with the camera so when I have my credit card in front of me I'll just make a small donation in the hope that every little helps

Thanks a lot Alan, I'd really appreciate that. I've still got 2 weeks left on the campaign and am currently at 340% of the target so there's no going back now :0) I was originally basing my target around building 40 cameras and I'm currently at 109, including a one-off charity version which has been backed for £1000 (all money goes to charity and not me though!).
So... about that Sony global shutter..... Ive been waiting for this to happen since the first announcement. Now this is a game changer... hopefully it happens soon and with a large sensor.

Everything has a price unfortunately, keep your Nikon as you've made the move to mirrorless before and you couldn't get on with it. Trading it will lose you a good portion of £££ too.

I did get on with it. I just wanted better AF and the noise level on A7ii wasn’t good
Stick with what you have then.

But realistically you didn't get on with it, otherwise you would have kept it, you wanted better
lolThe Nikon D500 AF system is pretty good, if you want to top it you'll need to consider spending vast amounts of money, will it make a difference to your photos?

My point was why use the canon, when the a9 does it all better?

Use either. The client won’t be able to tell the difference between the final result from either of them anyway ;0)

The majority of pro and amateur photographers in the world have blackout. I’m sure it’s nice to have none but I reckon they can live with the split-second blackout, especially for shooting portraits (unless you’re running after your subject of course..)

First result from Google suggests the inbuilt pairing function works well with a connected smartphone.

Incorrect, the Sony A9 is totally black-out free which also has a big advantage for face-detect, Eye-AF and the general AF system.
It does 60 AE/AF calculations every second.

picked up a used a7rii and the samyang 35mm f1.4.
not much to photograph in the house today but the extension tubes work well with this lens.

I know that feeling - enjoying the Sony but struggling with the costs of lenses a bit!!! (Again!)
Like those 12 stops of DR at base bro, isn't that like last gen Canon?

Personally the A7riii for me, prefer the 42mp over 24mp and don't need the AF/No Blackout - A7riii is basically a smaller D850
