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

Hey. Da du eine Sony hast, bleibt doch bei Sony. So kann sie auch deine Objektive nutzen. Eine A7II wäre eine „günstige“ alternative, oder auf APSC eine von einer a6000 bis a6400 ist der Preis nicht so hoch und die Menüführung kennt sie dann ja schon. An den Crop gewöhnt sie sich auch.

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

How about a used A7II so you can use the Sony full frame glass you've already got and so you can continue to invest into the same ecosystem? For static stills (Ie no autofocus) Sony hasn't really made any major updates to the A7 series' photo capabilities since the A7II, with a particular lack of an

Great trade, the a7II is a seriously capable body. Under $150 on Sony FE mount is tough new but the used market is your friend. A used Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 runs around $150-180 and is a solid starting point for both cars and nature, slightly over budget but worth the stretch. For car photography you r

If you’re really looking to just get one and done, I’d recommend looking into the Sony a7ii, full frame camera, body is around $500. That way if you want a full frame later, you already got a pretty good one. This camera body also has IBIS. The e-mount lenses are also versatile, and there’s some ove

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
