I’ve been shooting with the A7RII for the past 3 years. Before that I had an A7. I love the Sony cameras. I’m debating on getting an A9ii and some new glass or biting the bullet and getting an A1. I had a Canon 80D. It was cool. A bit bulky. The Sony’s being mirrorless made acquiring lenses very easy. With an adapter, very inexpensive vintage lenses from the thrift store allowed me to fill my camera bag quickly. Now I’ve got a good deal of native glass.
