Not bloody likely with Sony, lol. Can't even add a fucking color to the AF point selection box.
Damn, maybe I don't have to get an RIII and just wait for an RIV or something or just stick full on with the RII.
Really just depends on your needs I think. If you don't do action photography or extreme low light or need the battery life or AF joystick, the R2 seems like a fine camera.
I'm an event photographer and I don't really do time lapse stuff so I guess as some point the RIII will make sense. I already have 4 batteries for this camera so I think for the most part I should be fine with this for event work.
Trust me when I say that sometimes you want to know what your camera is at before you even put it to your face.
Actually if you really want to know how I run my Fuji's I pretty much just have them on EVF only, I actually wouldn't mind the top screen and wish I could just go EVF only on the A7RII.
That actually doesn't seem too bad. I like using the LCD when I want to shoot at a really odd angle, but otherwise I'd rather just have the LCD off just for battery consumption. I know we shoot different so I don't mind how you do it.
I would go all fucking in on the Tamron 70-200 and Sony 135 1.8 (depends on pricing) and probably the 35 1.8 if the video AF is good.
Depends on how much the higher MP count, AF point joystick, better AF system is worth to you.
Would you say the difference is very noticeable? I want to use it mainly as a "pocket" and travel camera, for quick snaps.
You might. Mainly it depends on if you can life without an AF joystick and tolerate a much slower AF system since the tech in the T predates all of the improvements made during the X-T2 time. The F is a much better camera than the T though
The Capture clips are godlike. It'll take a bit of practice before you can just slide it in, but it's really secure, can be locked, and is way better than a sling for when you're around and moving. Typically if I'm walking around, I'll have my camera attached to the leash, and then the Capture clip on my hip. That way, I can have it clipped on and not dangling/swinging around as I walk around, have my arms free, but still have it tethered for in case something happens while I'm using it.
Yeah, if that's the case, then the Capture series is amazing; if PD ever makes a Fuji compatible Capture Lens, definitely keep an eye out for that -- used one with my Sony and it was godlike, probably more useful than just the Capture for the camera.
I used it all through Utah, and been using it since in my hikes.Any of my outdoor shooting compatriots using the PD Capture Camera Clip on their packs? A lot of folks at FM are swearing by it, wanted a little more feedback before I throw $70 at a piece of metal.

That's perfectly fine and a better bargain than the A7SII, which is a camera that I'm not even sure why people are still buying. Are you recommending that they buy some glass? Sony glass, especially the good stuff don't come cheap.
Honestly just give them either the Tamron 28-75 or Sony 24-105 and call it a day. I never recommend primes for videos for noobs, especially if you can never predict the room sizes. Whenever I know of a shoot I take like 5 god damn lenses with me depending on what it is that I'll be shooting in and look I want. My 23 1.4, 16-55 have primarily been my main video lenses, with the 90F2 and 50-140 getting used if I want to get in tighter.
This would really depend on the editing that needs to be done though. My office tends to do interviews with two cameras. One in a wide shot and another in a tighter more head shot oriented focal length for editing so having focal length options would definitely help. Not to mention if they ever need to do B Roll.
I heard that got fixed with a firmware update actually. For M43 a lot of people just use a Sigma 18-35 with a speed booster. I don't know enough about their base line up to really make recommendations though since I really don't research stuff I have no interest in buying.
I've spent quite a lot of time checking out camera shops in Tokyo, it's so good for them. MAP Camera is probably my favourite one, I'll go there just to browse their equipment. It's very close to the station and has Shinjuku's Yodobashi, a Kitamura camera, a Bic Camera, and a used camera market in the same area.
They have an Ebay store so I've definitely heard of them. I almost bought a 28-75 from them but they were charging damn near new prices for a very used lens and I just backed the fuck out when I saw the condition of the lens.
I'm thinking about adapting the Canon 135F2, someone on Fred Miranda said it's not a bad combo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFdppCfLbcQ Manny covers the 135 quite a bit here with great results. The latest A7R3 FW (once it's fixed) will improve it further too.
Considering that I really do not use Eye AF that often this sounds very realistic as a purchase. I will probably never buy a Canon body or at least an expensive one, but I do like some of their lenses. I love 135, but the Sigma one is too big, the Canon F2 would be a great lighter alternative. Also I have seen that video twice and it sold me on the AD200 and it apparently also now sold me on the Canon 135 F2.
Yeah it does seem like Olympus might sadly be on their way out, especially with their partnership with Panasonic being done. I'd like to like their cameras, but it's kind of a why at this point for me.
What sensor size would they manufacture for though? Design wise they make some really good lenses. I'd buy full frame versions of what they have in a heart beat.
