Alpha 7 II

I've found my Sony A7ii to work very well with vintage lenses. I find focus peaking works pretty well for me along with the overexposure indication (zebra striping). And if I want to get really accurate with the focus I can zoom in quite easily.

Sony A7ii | Zuiko 1000mm Lunar photography seems to be its niche. Generally it’s very slow so quite tough to use with film… you need to have a fairly decent shutter speed to counteract wobble even on a tripod, which is tough at f11. You need a good tripod and you’ll still get a decent workout as you

Right, as a fellow Sony 20-70 f/4 owner and M43 shooter, let me share my thoughts… I own the Sony A7C (so, a step up from your A7II) along with the 20-70 f/4, plus a few other lenses. I also have an OM-5 paired with the 12-45 f/4 Pro. When I bought the Sony 20-70 f/4, my intention was to replace the

I have beaten this drum to death by now but I went A7R2 -> Z7II w/Viltrox E-Z for about 4 months. Mid June sold the Z7II for a Z8. I shared your sentiment for disdain towards spending a metric ton just to shoot decent FPS on Sony, not to mention CFe A vs B. Ultimately it was a mix of that, having to

Sony A7ii should be in your budget. Has decent focus aids and pretty effective IBIS, and it's easy to find in good condition.

Setting up macro photography IS fiddly. Also how much better it will be than a good scanner will depend on many variables - just to name a few the lens, the stand, how stable your table is, how sensitive the floor is to vibrations and most importantly how patient and careful you are when setting up.

First of all, I’m very envious that you got to go to Spa for WEC. Second, something I learned with my Sony A7ii is that Sony cameras are great a tracking objects in motion, so be sure to double-check your auto-focus settings! When I go to the Detroit GP this year, I’m gonna make sure I’m doing every

I have the a6300, a7ii and a7r4. On the Olympus side, I have the OM-1.ii and E-P7. I don't use the kit lens on the Olympus cameras - I mostly use the 12-40/2.8 PRO. The Sony kit lens is shit, and the kit lenses I have for my older Olympus cameras are excellent, and so are samples I've seen online fo

Well, as said, it’s not that the first gen A7 is inherently bad with AF, it’s definetly way under the later versions (th A7II is a BOG upgrade in that compartment). Is a really different way of shooting than a DSLR and needs some getting used to. IMHO, if I were to go on a lighter everyday carry, I

With that budget I would go with the nikon 200-500. It’s a great lens and it will perform even better if you swap to the d500 later. I currently use the d500 and I’m really impressed. I have owned a few mirrorless cameras before (sony a7ii and sony a6600) and none of them feels as snappy as the d500
