I have tried both with and without PDAF. Honestly, I'm not really sure if the PDAF on NEX-6 improves on anything... The main feature of it seems to be to lower the burst rate :-D The 18mm/2.8, yes, ...

So, thought I'd report back. Things don't always turn out as you think! Anyway, status so far (1) Keeping the NEX-6 for a while (2) Aiming for A7C or A7 Mark IV

That is actually 100% my reasoning, hence I chose the Batis 85/1.8 ;-) (what I'm looking at is picking up a used Batis, which after pixel peeping a few reviews seem, to me, sliiiightly better than ...

What I will say i don't like with this "forum-shopping" I've now started is that I now find myself thinking that maybe the Batis 85/1.8 might be a little bit better (and not soo much heavier), but ...

You're right, of course. I'm rather mean "there seems to be even better optical performers out there" (and that the competition is fierce) :-) Very nice links, I really like Dustin Abbot's reviews ...

Nice! I feel the same after reading some reviews, and also appreciate the relative smallness of it Any thoughts on the 20-30 range? I mean I could continue using a small kit zoom, but I'd prefer a ...

So, after all this in starting to form a plan! Stay with Sony and gradually move to FF (probably A7C, new or used). Given that, I'll keep my NEX-6 some more months. Get one or two FF lenses (primes ...

Oh wow! Thanks so much for that in-depth post! Much appreciated! This is a very good point I must say. Reason it hasn't been considered: I got a bit annoyed with the NEX-6 (battery etc) and decided ...

I'm not sure I disagree, so I'm not sure why you're baffled ;) Some quick bullets to clarify the pancake zoom etc: (1) To me, the D300 has always been a bit large cumbersome to bring along for trips. ...

Looked into some FF camera pricing more in-depth yesterday. The above seems very true - especially the Nikon Z5 seems like a very good camera value-for-money-wise. For a similarly-priced Sony one ...

Very nice! Although .... The MFT side would be 200-800mm focal length, right? If so, that's A LOT more (although one could probably use an extender) /Victor

So... To try to make my point I used the excellent camerasize.com linked earlier by @Laqup. Can't say I succeeded :-O My goal was to very unscientifically look into a few primes (portrait/bokeh + ...

Really excellent input from everyone, thanks for that! And also really great there are advocates for every system all the way from MF to MFT! After looking at a lot of MFT photos and gear I'm ...

Short and sweet recommendation! :-) Looked at your gear list and realized you're really well into m4/3! Any particular lens you really enjoy? Specifically I looked at the Sigma 56mm f1.4 the other ...

Touché ☺️ In all honesty 30x30 cm photo books rather than large prints. So not very large sizes and usually no more than 20-30 images in total in that one book yearly. Very true, and true for bokeh ...

Nice input. I've been looking at basically exactly that, but maybe 2-3 even smaller primes (f/2 or f/2.8). What other lens do you use? Are you missing MFT for those longer lenses or better IBIS?

Thanks everyone for valuable input, hard choice indeed! Some reflections based on the input and questions: (1) Budget: not decided, but since each camera do far has lasted 8-10 years I'd rather spend ...

Very true, agree 100%. I personally very rarely bring a tripod, mostly due to bulk and that it takes more time to use which often is not an option when the family is around. MFTs excellent IBIS ...

This, exactly this! Very well put and great link to compare! The question then again becomes which system to put money behind. MFT is for sure simpler/cheaper/lighter for longer zooms, but ultimate ...

So, the time to upgrade to the next system is approaching. I'm in no rush, but have started researching options. I'm a long-term interested amateur user of APS-C (Nikon D50, D300, Sony NEX-6) after ...
