I am sooooooooo glad I do not shoot at these focal lengths, they make the rest of my lenses look cheap.

Same here.... as much as would love a big telephoto lenses, I rarely use them. :)

My 35mm f2.8 and 55mm f1.8 are for light travelling duties.....
a GM version of a 50mm, 135mm and a Macro would complete my setup.

Still a bit of space left in the famous cabinet then.

The price of the 400mm equals to about just booking a whole Ryanair flight on my own

The only good thing about the larger items of glass is you normally dont loose much on them over time and infact with Brexit my two big primes have actually increased in value.

Have just realised you can change the buttons to not set and this seems to resolve the problem so far anyway :D

Makes it slightly more hassle to change settings but I can live with that.

70-200 is my most used lens so had to get that first. The 28-70 was with the camera anyway but would prefer to sell that on and get a small 35mm as my go light travel lens!

Purely based on IQ he has the Canon as sharper and cleaner but the Sony has better recovery and less fringing and hue.

What the hell is that stupid left right button on the Canon???

That's compared to the A73 the A7R3 came out better than the Canon but those tests were extreme pixel peeping.

"Oh no it doesn't."

Followed by "Behind You!" as the A7RIII comes up from behind :D

Well the A7RIII was made to look a right beast for sure.

Who is really going to push any of these cameras +5 stops of DR in post though? Just because the feature is there ...

Why would you ever need to do this? Expose correctly from the off.

Maybe when you want to push certain area's of the photo in post...... boost shadows / detail etc..... HDR / landscape photography.
 
Sony FE 24mm f1.4 GM is coming.. I guess the FE 135mm f1.8 isn't too far behind. :)

5 stops though?? I can understand 1-3

Going by the results in this video I wouldn't use any of those cameras in that manner

Why would anyone want to shoot wide open on a sunny day and have the foreground, subject and sky an equal exposure? Why would anyone want to shoot at base ISO underexposed and push in post to to create unique lighting when theres another bright source in the frame to consider etc etc etc. The more DR I have in post the better.

I know what your saying, before I bought the Sony A9 I did some research, looking through my old original A7 photos, I came to the conclusion that the IQ/ISO/DR on the A9 was good enough.
I ended up going for the Sony A9 over the better ISO/DR abilities found on the A7R III (at the time).

Bracketing?
 
The only advantage I see with the Canon RF is that it has a higher pixel count, so it looks sharper because you are zooming in more with he A73. In the real world, using both cameras (5D4/A73) handheld I simply get more sharper images from the A73 because of IBIS.
