Put your money where your mouth is fanboi and post some examples then.
Next you know you'll be saying you'd rather take f2.8 prime over f1.4
I'd suggest getting an A7RII which is where things started to really improve. These days they go at a very good price, especially a bargain for what you get.
Well you could shoot in APS-C mode and get 18mp filesMy only real issue with the A7RII is the file size which is nowhere near what I need. Hell, this time last year I was happy with my 16mp Nikon Df files
Well you could shoot in APS-C mode and get 18mp files
Before I got A7RII I felt the same way but once you see the results there is no going back
I think I’ll have to take a closer look at them 
Haha! I didn’t know the A7RII did that!
Haha... I’ve not yet spent enough time in turmoil wondering what to do let alone having buyers remorse before buying or putting funds in place. Doubt yours will be about by the time I’ve gone through this processA shameless plug - I have one for sale
I for one will never tire of great photographsofsuch beautiful sceneryI know, I know... I need to find a new location. But the lough is only 5 minutes drive from home and is by far the best scene for miles around....

Won’t be worth as much eitherYou never know
It won't last long if it goes on eBay.
I normal wait till I get £1 or £3 selling fee offerWon’t be worth as much either
Unless you fancy and X-Pro2 & X100f in part ex.
II did say that the Fuji's will probably be faster, I accept that but better image quality? If you believe that good for you
Why you then go on and say I'm obsessed I just don't know as if I am or not has nothing to do with file quality. Small man syndrome there maybe
But no, I'm not obsessed, it's not an obsession. I just prefer the handling of non fly by wire lenses with end stops and markings. The character these lenses give is another plus as I like it and I like trying to achieve an old photo look sometimes and also there's the fact that they're cheap making it a cheap hobby for me. I'm not going to count my manual lenses this minute but even though I could afford the same number of modern lenses I'm not going to buy them but I do have the bare minimum I need, the excellent 35mm f2.8 and 55mm f1.8 for when I want modern quality
Toni, you are persistently one of the biggest twits not only in this thread but on this entire site. That's an achievement. Well done

and I think that some here have actually been tempted towards legacy lenses. Also I think it makes a bit of a difference in what is often a thread tilted very heavily towards expensive modern AF lenses, lenses which are not just expensive in a relative to other makes sense but are also towards the expensive side of the Sony range. and one look in any of the Fuji threads will give you more weird colours than I'd produce in a lifetime. You don't get it. OK, but come on.... Fuji better than a Sony A7?
No Ray, obsession just isn't the best fit but if you want to persist with it I think it says more about you and your need to have a bit of a dig. Fair enough, this is the internet, fill your boots.
And for politeness. Yes I post mostly old lens pictures for a few reasons. I post the odd picture that I think is pretty but most of my posts here are gear related as this is a gear thread so when I buy an old lens I post pictures taken with it, probably more than once as the weather and light is sometimes poor so I'll post on bad days, probably the first time I go out with the lens and I can't wait to use it and probably later on good. Just in case anyone is interested
There's no denying you take nice pictures and I can see how you wouldn't want ones like mine to go to a client but we're in different areas. Some of the good stuff here (on the site) means nothing to me, the endless parade of shallow DoF, birds in flight, modern street photography, aviation, model shots... I can appreciate them but I'm not really interested. All I want to do is take pictures of people and places I love and interesting stuff I see and the A7 is the best fit for that and also for the character and old look stuff. You don't like the less neutral look but when used with a more neutral lens and processed sympathetically for a modern look I don't think there's a lot wrong with the colours. There doesn't seem to be a lot wrong with the Voigtlander 35mm pictures I posted recently, they were taken at an aperture which gives a more modern look and they were processed for an uncoloured look and they look fine to me
A72 should have never existed IMO. It's a rubbish upgrade over original A7 unless someone really really cares about IBIS for whatever reason.
AF isn't much better than A7 and IQ is also same because it's exactly the same sensor.
). It's a nice to have but not a deal maker or breaker.
I didn't think you would post any examples to back up your ludicrous claim.
AF isn't much better than A7 and IQ is also same because it's exactly the same sensor.
The only useful thing it adds is the IBIS which IMO isn't that big a deal. Most zoom lenses have OS anyway and if you are shooting fast primes you'll seldom need IBIS (the canon and Nikon shooters manage somehow without IBIS
If sony sold a smaller version of A7III, A7RII or A7RIII without IBIS I'd buy it in a heartbeat for the weight savings.
All in all a useless update IMO.
You could get the 35/2.8 and 55/1.8 but the 1.4 primes are on the larger side !
@Raymond Lin Sell the lot and stick with Sony, buy all the good glass and a extra body
Save the remaining cash for a Holiday or something.
