That's what I've been looking at too, I told you I'm going around in circles ;) It's just finances that's the hinderance :facepalm:
 
I reckon I could add a a7riii later down line if I feel I need the MP for landscape but highly doubt it
 
Nahhh I love the A7iii it plenty good enough for me.

I wanted the faster AF etc am very pls with my purchase
 
Nope am winding you lot up.
 
Only thing I change is lens
 
I have done a quick check.... I am missing that lovely 135mm focal length.

Credit card, worry about it later. :sneaky: What setup you thinking?

If it was completely up to me that's exactly what I'd be doing right now ;) Setup would be A7riii to replace both my systems, I could then use smaller telephotos but in DX mode to give me almost the same effective reach as what I'm getting now, but with some decent weight saving. I would then also have FF goodness and DR for travel as well (y). If I had a crystal ball and knew what Nikon were doing with their mirrorless I might hang on, but we've no idea on size/weight of the body, how many MP and therefore if it would be want I want in terms of cropability, how good the AF will be etc etc.

The D850 is/was an option but I'd still have to keep the Olly for travel (which is not the end of the world as I really like it), but as we've just discussed XQDs are crazy expensive and there's only Sony making them so who knows what the future holds for XQD, plus I'd be investing in a system that 'may' be being 'replaced'. And then the D850 is heavier than what I have now, although again I could use smaller teles and crop.

Bloomin too much choice and not enough money ;)

A positive for me would be to try and just ring a single system for everything if possible.
Just by the lenses you need for each task. :)

I would get the following when using DX mode on the A7R III.

Sony 55mm f1.8
16-35mm f4
70-200mm f4

If you had got the A7RIII you can just crop your 85mm to get 135mm :P (and still retain 1 stop advantage over Fuji 90mm)

Also you should replace that 55mm with Sony Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 it's probably the best 50mm-ish lens :D

A7r3 sounds like the only option really.

Sony 16-35 F4
Sony 55 1.8
Sony 70-200 2.8

Maybe a 1.4x tc
