Agree with the A6500 A7ii combination.  It gives you both an APS-C and a FF.  I currently have theA7ii and would like to add the A6500 for times when I want the smaller size and also for use with ...

Thank you.  I responded with basically the same reply before I read your response.

DOF DOES NOT CHANGE.  If you use a 300 mm lens at shooting the same object from the same distance with FF or APS-C the DOF remains exactly the same.  If you take the FF photograph and crop it to ...

YES, agree.  Don't understand why so many have a problem with this.

If the FL and Aperture are the same there will be no difference in ANYTHING, except possibly size, between a FE or F lens on an APS-C camera, or even a FF image cropped to identical APS-C coverage. ...

Very nice.  I love it for flower photography and often shoot them wider open to get the nice beercan background.

IMO the Beercan is sharp enough. The only real issue is some CA under certain conditions. It can usually be removed with PP. A lot of people will knock it, but I suspect you would find it very ...

From all reports the D750 is a very good camera.  I was looking at it myself but went Sony mirrorless (A7ii) because of the size.  Wanted to go smaller than my A700 was my actual standard. When you ...

Ignore my last post.  You are doing the right thing here.  Thanks.

Agree.  I thought TB was really rude, as well as some others.

For wildlife YES, for low light or indoor sport/events, NO.  They are two very different lenses and each is better for some types of shooting.  Choice should be made on the basis of your need.

You have been using an old, outdated Sony camera and you call all Sony cameras crap?  The A200 would have been a decent replacement for my old KM5D, and I would have bought it for that.  No ...

Please, I've had my A700 and have enjoyed it, but both the focusing system and the sensor are very, very outdated both in pixel count and dynamic range. Yes the ergonomics are nicer but the A68 ...

BC is my go to lens for flowers.

That is true, but you have the option of smaller lenses with it to make a small package.  Can't do that with the A77M2.  You do lose stabilization with the A6300 but you move up a step price wise ...

Non APO version of Minolta 100-300.  Sharpness isn't terrible, but terrible CR.  OP complains of it on the Beercan, which I happen to like a lot, he should see it on this lens.

I'm seriously considering upgrading mine to the A68.  It offeres A77ii focusing and even micro adjustment at half the price.  The main things lacking are a "plasticy" feel and lack of weather sealing.

Your evaluation of Sony marketing is a real understatement.  Unless you live in a major metro area in the USA it may be very difficult to even find a Sony camera to look at.  Best Buy has a Sony ...

You have some nice choices. If I had that I suspect the 16-35, 24-70, & 70-200GM or 100-400GM set would be with me most of the time.  The choice of the last two would depend a lot on where I'm ...

If it's the 85 Macro, yes.  Just the 85 probably not.
