I use the LA-EA3 w/o AF.  If I want AF, I use LA-EA4.

I cut off the plastic part that would have fit into the hot shoe. I used double back tape and then also taped on top. I have been using this way for four months w/o any issue and can also use the ...

Yesterday I shot a kids football game with my A7C w/FE 70-300mm lens. I need to block out extra light from the EVF (see my above post - works great). I shot for over an hours and got 400+ images. ...

I still like to use the hot shoe for my flash but purchased the linked eyecup modified it to satisfy and meet my needs. I have lost 80% of my RH eye sight. So I view with my LH eye. I cut the ...

For me, it would be FE 35mm f/1.8, FE 24-105mm f/4 and FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6.

No converter. My close distance shots are lens capability only. That is the Sony 40.5mm Multi-Coated Protector Filter # VF-405MP and a 40.5mm wide angle hood. With all the expensive lenses out ...

Thanks for comments. I viewed all your images on flicker (beautiful work).

Thanks for posting your thoughtful summary.  Your experience is helpful.  I totally agree about selling 3rd party equipment  (typically brings a much lower price than native brand).

The thing that prompted my original post was thinking about the huge of availability of FE lenses for Sony.  It is amazing what has become available in a reasonably short time and what to expect next.

Richard, thanks for sharing some great sample images (beautiful).  I also enjoyed your comments on your lens selection.  Thanks

Thanks for adding to the discussion.  It's obvious with your equipment selection that you are an advance photographer.  I look forward to viewing some of your images.

Thanks, your comments are appreciated and valued.

Thanks for comments. PS, I don't hear the electronic hum with FE 35mm f/1.8 (maybe just lucky or my poor hearing).

I watch and read about new lens introductions (this can also entertaining and informative). Although, if looking to purchase a new lens (I'm not an impulse buyer) I usually take three to four ...

As an enthusiast I want to balance my spending with value and quality (yes, a lot of considerations but fun researching and hopefully end up with a solid kit to enjoy).

OMG, there are so many lenses on the market (native and third party) to select from. I know the selection process will be different if being a professional vs an enthusiast. I am an enthusiast but ...

These developments are of major importance and can not come fast enough (for photographic equipment and far beyond photographic equipment).

Nice series and I really like the two railroad images and the two with the sun stars. I will try to capture some images with the sun star. Great idea to show case this light weight sharp kit lens. ...

I really enjoy using the Sony 28-60mm f/4-5.6.  I like the light weight and small combo of this sharp lens on the A7C.  I think all of my images have been previously posted but I will join this ...

Yes, great rainy day shot (love it).
