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.

The OP makes some valid points. However, it’s never going to be valid to compare a handmade Leica M body to a mass-produced DSLR or mirrorless camera. There will always be something out there that is mass-produced with a better sensor for less money than the latest handmade M. So don’t even try to j

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.

If you alreayd bought it, it's totally fine for a beginner. You really don't need full-frame though. An APSC camera like the Sony a6400 will be newer and you'll have access to a lot more lenses at a cheaper price. When I decided I wanted a full frame camera, I really wanted the Sony A7III but it's d

Another vote for Plustek. My 8100 is slow but consistently delivers excellent scans. I do medium format with my Sony A7II and a macro lens, it's good as well and faster but also very fiddly.

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

I had the xt3 and xpro2. The zf really nails it for me. Allows me to enjoy a retro design with physical sails, that is also very capable and can be set up to be used like a modern psam. The Nikon community has created some great recipes as well that I love to use got daily life photos cuz I don’t li

I'm not sure I understand this comment. I've been shooting with Sony since 2017? maybe 2018? I have the Sony A7III, A7RIII, A7SIII, A7IV, and A7C. I also have the Sony ZV-1. I've had zero issues with my cameras short of the shutter going out on the A7III and A7RIII at 300,000 and 500,000 shutter cli

Nikon had from 1959 to optimise the size, shape and control layout of their (D)SLRs. They took time to achieve something like perfection. I shot professionally with Nikon gear for years, starting with an F then an FE2. I must have shot 90% of the company’s 35mm SLR bodies through to the F5. From exp
