Good point, but some might like the smaller form factor and just carrying one body.  Actually, that is kind of what I did when I got an A68 for my telephotos to go with my A7ii.

I believe I've read that the LA-EA4 system is basically the same as SLT cameras just before the A77ii and A68.  Perhaps A58--some may have more accurate information on this though. I find it works ...

The LA-EA4 will do a nice job of focusing the screw drive lenses you mentioned.  I haven't used an A6300, but the focusing mechanism is in the adaptor so the camera shouldn't make any difference ...

All this talk of the 24-70 and the Tamron, how does the kit 28-70, aside from being a slower lens, compare with these two in sharpness and general use?  I haven't been that unhappy with mine, ...

on all A mount lenses go to dyxum.com. I tried that lens at a camera store on y old A700 and found focus slow and not real good. Got a Minolta 100-400 APO instead and have been very happy with it. ...

I don't think any of this will happen.  I will be very surprised to see ANYTHING new come out in A mount, including the dreamed of adaptors. I hope I'm wrong, but got an A68 to enjoy my A mount ...

It doesn't in this, and my guess is it wouldn't in 90% of the pictures taken.  In shooting landscape the upper corners are often sky and lower corners are often closer so DOF is more of an issue. I ...

The problem I'm finding with 28mm in landscape photography isn't so much a the width of the 28 mm, but the HEIGHT.  I can take a couple of shot and stitch to get the extra width with 28, but the ...

I'm guessing you're not shooting outside in bright sunlight--unless you are using a hood of some type.

It is amazing how many are so snobbish and ready tp put down things that others may like or want. If you don't want this program, then don't use it. I might add, that there are many out there who...

Depends on what you shoot.  The A6500 with a telephoto and A7iii or even A7ii for general use is a nice combination if you are into a combination of scenery and wildlife. I use an a7ii most of the ...

landscaper1: Understand and agree to an extent. However, if one relies on commercial printing and/or pre-made frames, it can become a real issue.

I'm curious how the l Sony 24-70mm f/4 Vario-Tessar would fit into this discussion. I recognize it is a slower lens than the Tamron and GM, but otherwise, how does it compare?  Lower size, weight, ...

I haven't tried it yet, but will. I have been bringing photos up on PS but the quicker switch between aspects with thirds lines would be a nice aid provided it is easy to use.

Economics.  Some of us can't afford to replace our old A mount lenses immediately and need to spread this out over time.  A better adaptor for older lenses would make the conversion more ...

My issue would be that it starts at 28 instead of 24 on the low end.

I haven't used an A7iii, but to say the A7ii focus "sucks" is really exaggeration.  I find it works darn well even under low light conditions.

I have both an A7ii and A68, which is kind of a budget A77ii with about the same size and weight body and focusing system.  The A68 is definitely better than the A7ii with LA-EA4 and older screw ...

You can do a lot with what you already have.  I would suggest shooting a lot of pictures with your current system and buy what feel your current system needs improved on. That said, the Sony 24-105 ...

Excellent reference.  Was hoping to see mention of the Sigma 70 macro ART but probably two recent to be included.
