I am a long time avid amateur photographer. I am contemplating retirement from a law practice within a few years. I have been thinking about getting more into photography, not so much to make ...

I liked my A6000, but traded it towards A7ii. Wondering when next A6xxx comes out, but Sony can wait if current model sells well.

I'm laughing, but I want the A7R I I after price drops, too.

The Canon AE-1 Program is almost within my price target once I am done with my Rolleiflex!

It seems Sony is innovating and Canon and Nikon are happy to make incremental changes. I am looking forward to the A7 threes!

Sony HVL-F20M. It does the job, AAA batteries, small and has bounce flash.

Got some good pictures without flash at 6400 ASA. Maybe I don't need a flash.

I bought the A7ii because I didn't want to pay $3200 for the A7Rii. Don't know if I made the right move, but I am enjoying my camera.

If so, what is the lens equivalent adjusted for APS-C? What would a 28mm from full frame be on an APS-C camera?

I like it for fill flash or group shots in a restaurant. If one does not like it, don't use it. My Nikon D750 has it. While not a pro camera, it is about third from the top at Nikon. Not sure that ...

I do. I bought a small Sony flash instead.

I think it costs $1000. Canon and Nikon's 50mm f1.8 lenses are under $200. I assume the Sony is better, has more elements, etc., but that is a big gap!

I only spent $1600 on the A7ii! I don't find the kit lens to be bad. But if one thought it is, they could get the 55 or 35.

Hate to see the price!

No. I am really disappointed, because as of today, there is no Sony FE 50mm f1.8 that is reasonably priced (only the 55mm for a grand).

I would buy the camera and kit lens first and see if you like it before you go overboard with lenses. I think more lenses may be announced soon. Personally, I much prefer the native Sony FE lenses ...

It went forward and back, but ultimately did not achieve focus on the target. Slow I can accept. Methodical with a method, ok.  Hunting and not finding, no go.  It's a relief to put a Sony FE lens ...

I tried it in the store and it was hunting. Bought it anyway due to self-confidence in bulling through technological hurdles and... It hunted for focus at home. Will return it. It cost $100 and it ...

was there anything to set in the menus that would help?

For your concern, support and good ideas.  This site is at its best when people courteously help each other, even if the problem is mundane.
