I think you need to watch a few reviews on AF and snap focus on how that works.

The cameras themselves are about the same size, except the Ricoh is thinner. The Ricoh is also a bit stealthier but the Sony has more pixels and therefor more cropping capability. Try before you buy.

You'll have to find out yourself. But mind this is a gear forum and no arts forum.

In good light the 70-200 f4 L is a great lens and to be had within budget. The Tamron 17-50 f 2.8 is also something to check out.

You still got the A7II and 35? That is just great. Some other contenders are Fuji X100 (original) and Ricoh GR. In case you go for the X100 avoid SN 12 & 13 due to SAB (or get a repaired one with ...

If you're thinking of making the move to FF and know why I'd invest in EF lenses only.

The Sony A7 + 28-70 is a nice entry to photography. Good AF, decent kit lens, with adapters fit for third party lenses (like Voigtlanders), great value. Plus $600 still in the bank. https://www.bhp ...

Ok mental case ignore list :-D

You just want an arguement, I just exposed you to my ignore list :-D DH (abbreviation).

If you expose two stops over (desired) and bring it back you are over exposing. And yes, under exposing does introduce artifacts, not just noise.

When shooting RAW you in general get away with up to two stops over exposure and bring it back to (what ever) correct is. Under exposure leads to data loss due to the architecture/design of RAW and ...

I always thought that all lenses were a compromise :-P

On a vacation i want to enjoy my vacation. On a phototrip I wanna enjoy taking pictures. So on vacation I only change lens once a day, the Voigtlander comes out when I need more available light.

I agree, very nice and versatile. Mind, a 24-70 +70-200 will set you back €2300! vs €900 for the 24-240. So this and fast prime (Voigtlander 35 f1.4 M.C.) you're set for your vacation.

The lady with sun glasses facing the camera has a nice contrast between glasses, her skin, her hair, her hat and the car in the bg. Everytime it is bright and dark over again, that is imho why that ...

As always good advice Kelly, Also think for travel, compact, lightweight and reasonably priced. Short: look up what lens(es) you think you need to have.

To get rid of the crop factor confusion we talk about 35mm equivalent FOV (eq.). Depending on brand 35eq. for Canon is 22mm and the other brands 23mm. Depending what you want to shoot you could go ...

I'd also have a look at the Sony A7. The A7 line of cameras seems to be the most flexible with adapted lenses. Another thing is the lenses you got, old lenses often dissapoint on current 24MP and ...

Weird, the EF-S 18-55mm IS STM is often times seen as the best kitlens around. In some situations it can outperform older L lenses.
