I have been told by reliable sources that Sony engineers are working on a new quantum FE lens lineup which will certainly satisfy your reasonable expectations for small lenses.

The first lens is a...

I'm also an a7RII user with adapted Canon L series lenses (and native FE lenses) and I have a 7D DSLR which I plan to keep along with my Canon lenses. For example, why would I sell my 70-200 f/4L...

And you get that knowledge from my comment "Sony is currently the most innovative camera manufacturer. They are always pushing the envelope and have cameras with a wide range of products and ...

It's your camera and photographs so do what you like. I don't see any problem with your approach as long as you have either RAW or JPEG versions of your images which haven't been modified by the ...

Whatever makes you feel better about your camera :-).

I would be interested in a 24-105 f/4 as well but I would be even more interested in a G Master 24-70 or 24-80 f/4 which has the performance of the 24-70 f/2.8 (except for f/2.8 :-)) but is ...

No, camera size and weight isn't the most important factor for me.  Image quality is and that's the reason I bought into Full Frame. However, I may be interested in one as a second camera if its ...

There should also be an annual "Top Moaner of the year" award.

These f/2.8 lenses are being produced because many a7 series users clamoured for them and many Sony detractors claimed it wasn't a serious system without them. Now they are available for those...

Androole - I am not so sure that buying at least some FF versions doesn't make sense. For example, if you want a fine portrait lens for an a6000 why not get the excellent FE 55 f/1.8.

I also have...

Walsh - These are the premium f/2.8 lenses demanded by many users of a7 series cameras.

As you know, there are smaller f/4 equivalents available. Canon (and Nikon) also make f/4 and f/2.8...

Sony has no choice but to build out a reasonable selection of lenses for its popular a7 series cameras. It's a formidable task which seems to be getting close to completion. Once this basic...

Peter
DSLRs offer highly competitive performance but the fashion now, for a significant number of people, is for smaller and lighter cameras with EVFs and features like face and eye recognition....

BarnET - what was your source for the comments about weathersealing? In any case, I would only expose a camera that was designed to go underwater to heavy rain or spray. Even if the seals are good...

A good hands on review - thanks.

Canon switched to all-electronic lens control with the new EF mount nearly 30 years ago! This really simplified and improved camera-lens operations. As far as I remember, they also changed from a ...

Yes focuspulling, Panasonic does deserve credit for these m43 lenses but I don't see the relevance to the G master FF Sony lenses.

Don't forget that the dream 12-35 f/2.8 has significant...

Thanks you have put a lot of effort into your post but beginners may find it a bit intimidating. I started with all manual film cameras where the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ...

The 55 is my favorite lens as well because of its performance. However, I would still buy the small 35 as a first lens for general use, unless I had the kit zoom. For some inexplicable reason, ...

I own both and owned an a7II (before I was tempted by the a7RII) but I don't shoot video so can only comment on still photography. 35mm is a great focal length for general photography and it was ...
