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.

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

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'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

Oh don’t get me started haha. I like to buy used and lean towards gear that lasts and can be repaired. Holds true for all the coffee stuff. Capricorn mode: Camera bundle bought for $520 last November: Sony a7ii with kit lens and Sony 85mm, 4 batteries, an extended grip and a 300w strobe kit. Then I’

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

Wenn du die Fotos bearbeitest sind die Sony Farben wieder irrelevant, hier würde sogar einmal in LR exportieren, Adobe Color Profil drauf und exportieren reichen. Dann hättest du den großen Vorteil alles in einem System zu haben, du brauchst also nur den Body und kannst deine Objektive weiter benutz

I disagree. The Sony Alpha A7II shoots bracket photos, has 24 MP and is full-frame. It'll work great with the right lens. No 4K video, but that's not what OP asked.

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
