a7S II

Honestly, my a7Sii got me so good at MF that when I upgraded, it felt like AF was getting in the way. It’s a great too to have but I generally prefer not using auto anything

I've done a few weddings with the a7sii and oh my god, I hate it. The rolling shutter is awful and the autofocus was so whack, and I was using native Sony lenses. For hobby and beginner type stuff, maybe you can make it work, down the line you can sell the body and buy a better one

This is the older one. Af is shit on it. I used it to mount canon cine lenses on my a7sii years ago.

When I bought my GH6 I wanted anamorphic and bought the Sirui 35mm manual lens and realised how great manual focus was for filming. Since then I have bought a pile of vintage lenses and just love them. I use them on my A7Sii also and rarely have an AF lens attached these days or have it switched to

I shoot photos and reels on my a7sii for clients and autofocus is shit. Ive learned to take more than one take to avoid this problem. (real headache on live events).It lacks 10 bit video. Slog 3 on this 8 bit camera is a lie. But I get by with Slog2. 120FPS HD is awsome when its useful. I dont use 4

Still love my GH6 and bought an old A7Sii for dark nights which is pretty much permanently on Manual like the GH6. Can’t find any exc

I’m a wedding videographer and I’d take the fx3/a7siii over the a7v. You’re going to run into DJs that will want you to turn your lights off during dancing after the formalities are done and the low light capabilities will come in super handy. I rock the a7sii/fx3 combo and have never experienced ov

I use the A7sii for macro and vintage glass as the files aren't massive and use only manual focus. The auto focus for moving subjects isn't incredible. Way better image quality than my A6000 tho
