Quality Thanks ! Bit of a typo on the thread title though missing a slash.
The Sony A73/A7R3/A7S3/A9 Thread

Thanks for the info. I used to shoot a lot of motorsport stuff, but I don't really do that at all anymore so the EVF is not an issue. Mainly landscape stuff and pictures of my daughter/family. The A7 seems to be exactly what I'm after.
The canon FD seems to be a fairly inxpensive way of getting decent glass as buying the current fit Canon/Nikon and using them in full manual with a cheap adapter seems like a waste of money.
Cheers

Ditto, thanks to the mods for kindly actioning this.
Both are supposed to be stellar, I got the Batis simply because of the oss, better in my ageing hands!

I can't find the link now but I saw an article where they compare a bunch of lenses on the Sony Bodies and looked at its IS performance for all the lenses, and how they performed, basically the inbuilt IS in the lens does not make it better if you have the body IS switched on, in some cases in fact it works against it.
Thanks, useful.

Hi all. Off to South of France for a week.
What gear should I bring in terms of lenses?
100-400 is a given as I'll be shooting some f1 cars.
I wanna do some video work too so was thinking of bringing few primes that cover the 25 to 85 or bring a 24-70 f2.8? Thing is my gimbal can't cater for that lens. Too heavy.
Primes I have are batis 25 85 zeiss Sony 55 and finally samyang 35.
Taking 2 camera bodies. A9 and a7r3

Surely you can work that out for yourself based on your own experience and shooting needs?

Went with all primes except for the 100-400!
Wish my Tamron would hurry up. I spent too long making my mind up over it and now have an itch to buy another lens.
Got the Sigma 14mm F1.8 on pre-roder since it was £230 off RRP for pre order but I wont get that for at least another month.

Not anymore
Stopping now.
For now...............
My 85 FE arrives this week, waiting for the 105 to be released but even the Canon mount isn't out yet, at this rate i won't get to use it this wedding season.
I have mine now, but haven't really had the time to go and use it in anger. I need to schedule a day to have a walk about with it really. Also just had a note from LCE that the 85 will arrive next Monday - can't wait.
Also Greebo, isn't the Samyang manual focus the sharpest 14mm lens out there (DXO mark) it's also only £250ish !
Dxo hasn’t tested the sigma 14mm yet. Other review sights would suggest its sharper but the main thing is tha5 extra stop and third over the samyang. Plus the thought of having to go through up to 5 lens to get a good samyang and the fact they go off focus over a few years means you will have to keep buying new ones to replace them puts me off.
And you never know, Af might come in handy too

Seems like you have classic compulsive GAS.
