Hello; I think this question has been asked plenty of time. Camera? I am planning to buy a Sony FF camera next month and I am confused between buying the a7III vs a7rIII. The price of A7 III is 1455 euros and the a7r III is 1859 euros. Lenses? For lenses, I watched plenty of youtuber video showing the benefits of each lens for Sony FF camera but as I have a limit budget I am thinking get in first class the Sony 85mm 1.8 (459 euros) and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (659 euros). Because of the 28 focal length of Tamron I am planning to complete my lenses collection with Tamron 17-28mm (759 euros) after few months. I found also the Sony 24-105mm f/4 (919 euros) not bad but I think that f/4 in low light situation could be an issue. In what situation I am shooting? Me and My wife are planning to launch a new brand of clothes, so our goal in first class is shooting people with those clothes in different situation: Indoor, Outdoor situation. We like shooting next to Monuments places like Eiffel Tour, Louvre. Those pictures will be posted in social networks like Instagram, SnapChat, etc, and In our Website. For me I have a passion for cinematography (I will buy the Rohn S Gimble also), so my goal is to make a cinematic video for our Brand. Questions: What do you think is best for me? Is a7r III worth it? What’s the best lenses fit my requirements ? Thanks (sorry for my bad english)

38 minutes of stormy sunrise with nature sounds. Shot on Shot on Sony A6300 in Gamma Cine2 (ISO 400). Lens Sigma AF 24-105mm f/4 DG HSM Art Minolta A with Sony LA-EA3 A-Mount Adapter. Only part of longest shooting and A6300 no overheat!

I recently received a Sony 24-104 f4 lens and I love it. This lens is so versatile. I can see this as my main travel lens. On most trips I will still take the Sony 16-35 f2.8 GM for landscapes. Smaller international airlines have a 8KG carry on luggage limit. That means a maximum of three lenses so selection is very important. Don't just take my word for it. The reviews for this lens are really outstanding. Some are even saying go with this lens over the 24-70 f2.8 GM. Much cheaper and lighter.

Hey! I have a problem with my Commlite EF-NEX adapter. Yesterday I mounted a Canon 24-105 with it on two different Sony Alpha 7s. Bith cameras are running firmware version 2.0. On one Aperture, stabilizer, ... was working. On the other, I couldn't change the F-Stop and the camera told me that I should mount the lens properly. In the exifs of the pictures from the second camera, there's no metadata about the lens at all. I thought the second camera might be broken, but with a speedbooster from metabones, mounting the lens was no problem at all and shooting with a sony lens as well. Where could the problem be? Software issues? Best Regards Felix
