The raw files are too big to post but that’s the zeiss a mount 135 with a mega crop and some 85/1.4 bokeh as a couple examples, if not as good as they actually look.

This is the way. I take better care of my Mino and Koni gear than the Sony stuff because the really nice ones are harder to find all the time.

The a7iv with the laea 5 is pretty hard to beat. It’ll run all your legacy glass as well as the SLTs with more resolution and better light handling. The more expensive stacked sensor bodies work well with some and not so much with others. Continuous autofocus works but isn’t nearly as dramatic. Unless the a7v comes out with even more advanced stuffs and a non stacked sensor for not a lot more money. And of course you can always add e mount glass as you go, but in my opinion it’s rarely worth the price unless you need the tech specifically. Sigma has some nice options and the 200-600 is nice for sports and wildlife. And the small mortgage 400 & 600. 600 Mino is basically manual focus. It will auto but so slow with the heavy glass it’s not worth the strain on the battery and adapter.  The a68 will keep up with the newer crop sensor bodies well enough that I wouldn’t consider those. 7/8ths autofocus speed, just as bad in low light and similar IQ. Same with the a7iii and older full frame. You’ll game a little but not much for the cost. Should we get the rumored 7r vi that can hang with a Hasselblad or Fuji and retain all the bells and whistles though…
