Consider the 28mm F2 it's a VERY nice lens. AND you can use it for anything.

The pictures look nice to me, the WB gives them a special 'feel'. I love the model, indeed sometimes in an uncomfortable position. More position variation from the camera might be better. Overall ...

Definitively a very good choice. But maybe you can rent one, because  things are very different.

Try to really read my answer . The OP seems to have a low budget, in the end a modern cell will make a better picture then the overaged mentioned camera's. It't nice to know, on this site there's ...

The 850 is back in time, BUT it's a camera, the 6000 is like a toy with a bad viewfinder. As good as the Minolta glass WAS, it's very old and might suffer from CA, ghosting, flare and so on, not to ...

The easiest; install exiftool with an icon on the screen. Make a raw picture, transfer it to the computer, in explorer slide the picture over the exiftool icon. Once you drop the picture over the ...

The question is; will you still like it in 2 or 3 years?

This isn't normal behavior afaik, you should contact Sony/ your seller. Only thing I can think about is, IF there's is a screen cover on the display it is 'pulling'.

I would buy a new SD card NOW, Don't wait until you get to a computer. If the SD isn't written on, you might be able to recover the other images.

I like your painting and the picture, but in MY opinion pixelshift is just a hassle and isn't worth the effort in the end. As mentioned, don't oversharp your pictures, the detail of your painting ...

Use the memory banks, save different settings and use them when needed.

The 24-240 is nice and gives nice results if you use it the right way. This lens together with the 50mm is an all situation combo. Otoh the Tammy has a constant aperture and might be a sharper lens ...

In this example, it couldn't be because of low contrast in the stone?

As good as your lens is,, the use of a non native lens with an adapter is always a compromise. Adapters is another world anyway, one time everything seems fine, next time the user experience is ...

Something is wrong somewhere, distortion of this lens isn't worse  (isn't bad at all) than others in that range. Basically it's a very nice lens.

On the A7R if the review is on, it's on, without a choice of  display/evf. It just shows the picture. Has nothing to do with EVF malfunction, just a setting not following your expectancy. Just ...

I prefer #3, pictures from above shoudn't have utensils but food. Lose the casual rise around, looks fake. My 2c
