Advise request for camera upgrade.
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2020 11:59 am
Last August I ran into some serious headwind when medical bills forced me to sell all my photo gear to keep the collectors away. Well, I cheated a little and kept the a7rII, along with my favorite lens, the Zeiss 135/2 APO Sonnar. Something that seems like a handicap - only one lens, fixed focal length - but actually turned out to be a blessing because I really got to know that lens.
Therefore I decided that now, as I can replace my equipment again, I want to keep it down to only three or four prime lenses and a second camera. And I want to start with getting that second camera first.
I am very happy with what the a7rII gives me, so just buying another one of those should suffice, particularly since I will have manual focus primes only, so I don't need many - if any - of the technological advances later models offer. But I am sure there are things that I don't know about, so I am asking the community if there are features in the currently available III and IV versions of this camera that may be beneficial with the lenses I intend to use.
Any information regarding this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
