I bought this camera in February 2018 and it is the best camera I’ve ever owned. I also had the earlier A7R2 version but the newer one does a much better job of locking onto moving subjects, like trains. My Sony FE 4/24-105G OSS lens is usually glued on to the front though I have used others.
Here are my ten favorite pictures I’ve taken with the camera. If no lens is listed, it is the 24-105. Click on an image to get a larger version.
I really like my 90mm macro lens but don’t use it much because I don’t take close ups. But this is a nice sample of its capabilities.
