Och Elo

I've been going smaller and fixed lens with my gear. I currently have a Leica Q and a Fuji X100V that I do all my shooting with. As such, I've sold off most of my ILC gear, which was Nikon Z. All ...

Wow. All your pics are amazing. Your picture of the Hitchhiking Ghosts are the best I think I've ever seen with an APS-C camera, I know that's a notoriously hard shot. I'm sure it's mostly skill, ...

Thanks for all the suggestions, tons of food for thought. I agree that the best absolute monster for low light while being relatively compact and in my budget would be something like the A7III/C + ...

Willing to spend up to $3000, but the lower the better

I'm a fairly experienced hobbyist. I sold off all my digital equipment over the last year due to various reasons. I'm a huge Disneyland fan and will start going again regularly now that they are ...

I don't think that would be a good solution for me. Up to the 50mm crop, maybe. But at 70mm I'm down to what, about 7mp at basically a 70mm f/4.55 lens in terms of depth of field? Cropping to 50mm ...

I was actually considering something like a Panasonic GX9 and a couple of their Leica-branded lens like the 25mm 1.4 and 42.5mm 1.2. From the samples I've seen I really like the color and rendering ...

I sold my Q at the beginning of the pandemic last year, and recently reacquired a used one. It quickly reminded me why it's the best camera I've ever used. I like everything about it. The 28mm ...

I have a Z5 with the 35, 50, and 85 f/1.8S lenses. No complaint with anything there. What tempts me is the new 35mm 1.4 for Sony. I know Nikon can never have a lens like that because of the size of ...

I've used all the lenses you mentioned EXCEPT the Samkinon 50mm 1.4. I have NOT used any of Sony's f/1.4 offerings so I can't compare the f/1.4s directly. I thought the Samkinon 35mm 1.4 was solid ...

Yes, I briefly rented that lens a while ago. I have a really hard time saying anything is "much better" than something else because so much of this is subjective. I will say though that I really ...

I've owned and used all the lenses in question. I'd take option 1 by a country mile. I maybe in the minority, but I've churned through 2 copies of the Tamron and was never really impressed. It's ...

I noticed this didn't come with a wall charger. Manual says just charge it using a computer. But is it safe/ok to use a wall charger with a USB adapter (like my iphone/ipad chargers?)

Ooo... actually this. I too would recommend the 24-105 f/4 over the 28-75. Agree completely that the A7rii's low light helps negate that 1-stop advantage.  I also maybe biased because I'm a prime ...

I actually currently have both cameras and shoot with them. Both bodies have their pros and cons. In addition to the 24-50, I also purchased the 35, 50, and 85 primes. I read through this thread ...

In that case the Nikon is a no-brainer. I've used both of those lenses and the Z50mm blows the RF 35mm out the water.

I've used both cameras with their respective cheap kit lenses. Just to state the obvious, the Z5 is objectively better in almost any metric that makes a camera a camera. As far as the kit lenses, I...
