Thanks, everybody. Some great suggestions here.

No in-camera focus stacking is a disappointment. Sony's desktop software reminds me of web apps from the late 90s. Sigh.

I have an Asahi Super-Takumar 35mm f/3.5 that is a delight to use, but kind of "flat" for lack of a better desciption. Just a bit dull compared to some of the other adapted lenses I have like my ...

If I could afford it, I would go with the latest. The ergonomic improvements (more configurable dials etc.) would make me want it. On the other hand, as you've hinted, I'm sure you'd be happy with ...

I'd go Nikkor first, but only because I like old glass and I think that it's possible that older lenses will turn out to be more repairable than newer ones. On the other hand, I have a TTArtisan 21 ...

I have a Helios 44-2 that I completely rebuilt. I put a UV filter on this lens and all the other old lenses that I use because they aren't making any more of them and I would be heartbroken if I...

I call my tablet a 'hand tv'. Because that's all it's good for. Media consumption (pdf, movie, audio) on the road. I would never try to do any 'work' on one of these things. The interface makes me...

I guess I'm getting old but I refuse to use subscription software. End of story.

You have no idea what you are talking about and your comment is offensive to everyone in BC (nearly one million, including me) who can no more find a family doctor than they can ride a unicorn to ...

That's a great price. If you don't want it, tell me how I can buy it or sell it to me!

If the A7RV gets the same ergonomic improvements (more configurable / locking dials & knobs) as the A7IV, I will be sorely tempted to upgrade my A7RIII. I've been complaining about how these work ...

Interesting - thanks for the suggestions.

Interesting. I was thinking that it would be cheaper to get a used A7 series body and carry two.

I just did my first ever photo focused road trip. I took three primes - a TTArtisan 21, Helios 44-2 (55), and an Asahi Super-Takumar 105. I was pretty happy with those, but found that changing the ...

I'm ordering one of these as soon as I get back home. Thanks!

I solved this problem by covering the sensor, which is just above the viewfinder, with a piece of non-sticky black film that uses static to adhere to the sensor. Works great, and turns the camera ...

Thank you!

Fair enough. Thanks for the post! re: fading - it just occurred to me that prints from older processes (thinking 1970s darkroom) will fade in the sun as well - I remember one picture on the wall ...

Apologies - this should probably go into a "novice printer" forum but I couldn't find one of those. Caution - there's a long preamble. I'm a beginner photographer but people are starting to ask me ...

Thanks! It's so great when an internet forum is helpful. Sadly, sounds like I'll have to pass on this lens. It is definitely the L Mount version.
