    • Hi there, I just got a Sony 6700 and I absolutely love it. However, I noticed that transfer speeds into lightroom were very slow. I decided to run a benchmark by transferring files from the camera in MSC mode and I could only ever get to 150mb/s. I am using a USB 40gb/s cable in a 20gb/s USB C port.  To investigated further, I decided to run a benchmark using crystaldiskmark of the camera in MSC mode and found I could only reach 175mb/s read and 60mb/s write. My SD card is a Kingston 128gb V90. I also tried a Lexar 128gb v60 and got the same speeds. Anybody with a 6700 willing to test their transfer speeds in windows through a file transfer or crystaldiskmark to help curb my anxiety that something is wrong with my unit? Thank you!
    • I find that gear is very particular to the user. I have both the A7Cii and A7CR and love to use them with the 24 f2.5 and 40 F2.8 due to the size however due to the choice to shoot a range of genres I have larger lenses which remove the benefit of the small bodies. My advice is to buy something to cover what you do the most and the lens you want to use the most. There are always so many variables at play and often there simply is no right answer. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy it.
    • It's entirely up to the individual. Personally I have opted this time round for the 24mm f2.8 and 40 mm f2.5 compact lenses due to their size, build quality and performance mix rather than a zoom up to 70mm. At 70mm and beyond I have the 85mm f1.8, 70-200 ii f2.8 and 100-400 supporting the A7Cii and A7CR. Every genre and every day can bring different challenges however I generally tend to use the 40mm in urban environments more than the 24mm. For travel I will often take the 24, 40 and 70-200 but only carry what I need on the day. Sorry I can't be any more helpful as it can vary wildly due to the number of variables and there simply isn't a correct answer. Whatever you decide, it's great gear and you will make it work.
