Very good, and thanks for the explanation,  I do the same with my old Minolta 100-400 APO with just the in camera stabilization and get good results with my A7ii and A68.  The A700 worked OK, but ...

Very nice shots.  1/80 s at 400 mm, that takes some really steady hands although stabilization and a good tree to hold the camera against might make it doable for me.  Which 100-400 are you using ...

I suspect a lot of the complaints of Sony ergonomics compared to Canon and Nikon is simply that the testers are accustomed to the Canon and Nikon system.  We tend to like what we are used to.

It has been around for quite awhile and sensors improve every generation.  It still does a darn good job though.

Mine did.

Is this limited to just E/FE mount lenses or are discussions of adapted lenses included?  I would think it would be good if at least adapted A mount or even A mount lenses in general were  be ...

I browse all the Sony Forums anyway so don't see an issue.

I like it and certainly don't see how it is confusing at all.  If you want to talk about a lens, use it.  If you want to talk about a camera use the others.  Normally a specific lens question will ...

There are a lot of very good FF A-mount lenses that work well with the LA-EA3, especially for those wanting good telephotos at a good price.

True, but in most cases you have to crop to APS-C size or close anyway--some exceptions noted.

The A7ii is a very nice camera and you should be very pleased with it, I know I am.  I haven't read all the responses to your question on the 28-70 lens yet but will say it is a lot better lens ...

Very nice.  Proving how great a telephoto is for flower photography.  Also for scenery.  I've seen many, many posts asking for lens recommendations for hiking lenses with most responses suggesting ...

Much better.  The moon just moves too much in 1/10 of a second for that speed in the other photo.

The problem with the moon shot probably is your slow shutter speed rather than lens sharpness.  Even at 1/10 s their is enough motion of the moon to cause some blur.  Open up more and raise ISO ...

He would need the better lens for birding whether he goes FF or not, so why not get the lens first and give it a try with the 6500.  To get the better tracking and still maintain the ability to ...

For birding spend the money on the lens.  If you later decide to go FF you would still have the lens.

I don't see curved mirrors as a good solution for interchangeable lens cameras, but do see it in the future of some quality cameras using one lens. I would like to think Sony would continue with ...

That would be a more reasonable solution if they released a couple of more up to dat adaptors, like an LAEA4  and LAEA3 upgrades  with A77ii or A68 capability.

Interesting thought considering the looks of the new Nikon Mirrorless.

An updated LA-EA4 adaptor to A77ii/A68 capability would be nice though.  Meanwhile I bought an A68 from my Minolta telephotos.
