I done mine last night.

I've starting to play with it just now, only tried the 35/85. Works fine, AF is okay. What I really want to try is a human subject with Eye AF.

But no one had any with kit lens well wex didn’t I know that for sure

Dunno. WEX are selling that lens for £395, so if it's available, might be worth picking up the kit and selling the lens separately as it's only £200 extra....

That lens is worth nowhere near £400, Sonys kit lens prices are massively inflated.

Agreed, but someone might be willing to pay £300 for a brand new, warranted lens against the "massively inflated" retail price.

I bet the adobe update be round the corner give it a couple of days.

That work round would it work on subscription base

I can wait for adobe update, it happens with every new camera, just wait a bit. Although this is the first camera where I bought one at launch.
 
What gets me they know this was coming why didn’t they release the software update

I’m thinking along similar lines to you by the looks of it. Thinking of getting a GX80 for when I need a small kit (+ibis and 4K video) as an addition to a D750.

Tom

I may be wrong here but I don't think the GX80 has an external microphone input, I just been through this exercise and ended up buying a G80 for my son who is doing a media college course as it had all the required inputs + 4K and IBIS.

This may be important if you want to use the camera fir videoing parts of weddings or if you want to vlog in a reasonably professional manner.

I only bring it up because it was a point of confusion some 300 pages ago.

Yeah, I saw the AA filter thing a few days ago, makes sense since this camera isn’t one gunning for resolution and detail, that’s the job for the RIII

Images are sharp and clean enough as it is.

Good to know that, thanks!
 
Met a A9 equestrian photographer today using 70-200 G. He is buying the A7iii as a 2nd camera. Was a pretty good chat!

Was good to chat and get opinions from someone in my field!

And what did he suggest. I know a9 too pricey did he think a7iii be good enough for you?

I decided to watch it, and he does say this...

"You do have an anti-aliasing filter'

Maybe they made a mistake and instead of fitting one they put Schrodinger's AA filter in instead, I still have no idea if it has one fitted or not as I've heard both answers in equal amounts.

It would make most sense to be fitted for the market it's aimed at, so I'll operate under the assumption there is one. Haven't had any cause for complaint about the actual output so far though.
 
Just notice that with the MC-11, you get all the focusing (points) selection with Sigma lenses, but not with Canon lenses.

Is the Metabone the same?

What sigma lens have you tried on it so far. I might get one with a sigma 100-600 C Lens if I find I want to do wildlife again
