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.

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.

There’s a big difference in the ‘look’ between Zeiss Loxia and Sony G Master lenses. Unlike the earlier Carl Zeiss lenses for Sony Alpha, the G Master lenses have zero Carl Zeiss involvement. Let there be no confusion here - G Master is a 100% Sony product and 0% Carl Zeiss. I agree with the OP that

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

I use Konica Hexanon AR and Pentax K lenses on my Sony A7II and they work perfectly with it. many other adapters for other mounts exist.

Yes, to Lumix. I switched from an A7RIII to an S5 then an S1 and now a G9 with Leica lenses. Regret it massively but kept convincing myself it was fine. The G9 is good but I always miss full frame and the autofocus of the alpha lineup. I'm actually downgrading back to a nearly new A7II until I can a

This was my first camera that I used for real estate photography. It's a great camera and shoots bracketed HDR which is needed. but beware, while it's great for photos, it is horrible for video. If the client asks you to do video, pickup an OSMO pocket 3 while you save up for a nicer hybrid camera l

I started with a Sony A7 and M lenses but it didn’t work well with any focal length less than 50mm. I now have the A7ii and it seems to work well down to 35mm. It’s certainly a lot better than the A7. I have heard that the A7iii and A7iv are better again but have no personal experience. I have a fri
