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)

      Bokeh?

      Shooting a cactus flower is probably where you do want to have nice bokeh. I can't recall which camera you're shooting, or maybe you haven't said, but using live view you can see what the shot will look like before you press the button. Try setting up on a flower or something stationary where you can control the background and see the changes different settings make.

      That's what I got from your post here: When shooting at f/11, bokeh is indeed not something you should be concerned with, unless when shooting closeup. Nearly all lenses have a polygonal iris shape at f/11 which naturally gives a more edgy rendering of out of focus areas. @Cameratose's example is perfect for demonstrating the relevance of bokeh. To some extent you can influence the backdrop of a shot, but if it is busy foliage relatively close by, it'd better not be distracting from your subject. Some lenses are able to create a more pleasing background than others, even at the same aperture setting and focal length. For the impact of the entire image one might even argue that the smoothness of the background is as relevant as the sharpness of the subject.

      Like Cameratose, I usually go for as much depth of field as I can, but sometimes there is no getting around out of focus areas, such as a closeup of a cactus flower.  I guess, everything else being equal, I might be concerned about a lenses bokeh, but everything else is seldom equal.  At this point in my photography I think I have bigger problems than unattractive bokeh.
