I got a Sony A1 II yesterday, despite it being so old released in 2025, it is STILL a great camera. Yes.. even after one day it is still as good as it was on day one.

Lmao you can’t be serious. A7RV bundled with 28-70 f/2.8 gmii from B&H: $5746 A Leica M11, the fcking base model, is $9840. A 50mm Summicron ASPH is $9945.

I work in film and use this type of gear pretty often.

A 6X6 medium format negative has an equivalent digital resolution of ~120 megapixels. A Sony A1 has a resolution of 50.1 megapixels. An 8X10 large format negative has approximately 600 megapixels equivalent resolution. I'm no pixel peeper, but it's just obviously not the case that a professional pho
