Alpha 7 II

Lenses don't really fall in value. But the camera bodies kind of do. So you're definitely not going to get the "best" for $200. Grab a Sony A7ii for like $500 off of mpb (or probably cheaper on Marketplace) and a decent lens for like $200 and you're going to feel pretty profesh.

a real dslr or mirrorless with 30s exposure will get you close. The main image in this post is a composite of multiple images over a night, stitched together. An older Sony A7II, tripod, and f2.8 16mm lens could get you close to this with practice.

The Sony colour issues are a myth. That was from the a7 and a7ii era. There's no Leica colour or look either. It's all about the lens rendering. A skilled editor can make X look like Y in terms of colour. If you want to use the Leica APO lenses, get the SL. Otherwise the a7riv and GM primes are a gr

I have just gone back to carrying an actual camera. Is it a direct replacement? No, but if your main goal is to take pics, a 15 year old mirrorless or DSLR will take better pics. My sony A7ii (which can be found used for cheap) takes massively better pics. These days I carry a Nikon Zf with a small

lol don't get a sony A7ii for amateur birding. You don't need the full frame cost and size when your just starting out. Go get a used Olympus EM-1 Mark II from ebay and the 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R. That gets you a lot more bang for your buck. If your going to go full frame it's only worth it if you can a

The battery drain issues cause significantly more worries for buyers than actual problems for users. My OM-4 is affected and it means that if I leave the batteries in and put it on the shelf for a couple of months I have to replace them. By contrast, if I leave my Sony A7ii on I can expect the batte

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

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.

Adding informative content to your website is pretty huge. There are tons of things that your clients don't understand and being better informed can help alot. Having a "know your rights" section for each part of your practice where you have youtube videos where you explain different scenarios where

I have an A7ii and just bought the Ricoh IV. They complement each other. Sony I use if I have a specific shoot I want to do, where I need to carry lenses and crap. Ricoh I just carry on my pocket as I go about my day in the city. It's just much faster than phone on snap mode, great quality, more cus
