I seriously though need to let my bank balance recover before spending more money, A73 and a MBP within 10 days of each other has beaten my bank balance to a pulp.

I've been out already and got some quick shots to test out, nothing amazing but I still need to get to grips with the Sony menu system after using a Canon.
When transferring files from the camera, do you use the USB-C connection or a card reader?

Want some nice small primes really so any of the 1.4's are a no go for me!

Always been a card reader person.
I find cameras have a really slow transfer rate in general.

Why would the look of the unedited RAW matter? I could see the problem if it was JPEGs but RAW photos are meant to be processed and tweaked.

I want USB-C to take advantage of the read speeds of my cards, I'll check Amazon.

Went to legoland and took the A7III along for the first proper play with it.
Shooting through the LCD rather than the viewfinder feels very freeing, and the AF is insane.
Very happy with my switch

You don't need full USB-C speed, the fastest card you will buy would be the 300mb/s UHS-II cards so any faster would just be a waste of money.

Using the LCD is such a good thing, here's a little blog post from our recent trip to Disneyland Paris. A7 28mm f2 and 85 1.8. Was surprised the AF-C kept up with some of the performers on the parade.
Link may help!

2 FPS (well 2-4) for CAF.... damn that’s so bad. The Canon is the ugliest of all the cameras too IMO.

Pointless Quiz time!!! Well later this evening anyway!
Just taken a few random shots with the Samyang and Sony 35mm 2.8 shots. These are handheld indoors at the same settings. Nothing else, not proper test situations. Some might say meaningless, but hey, just for fun! Might do the same for outdoors too and change up the settings!

True! But can click on them and look on Flickr!
It’s amazing the difference is colours between the 2 lenses using same settings!

So here is my pointless test really. Just interesting too see difference in colours. These are all jpegs from camera, 2.8, +1 exposure. Flickr shows them better.
Sony 35mm 2.8 vs Samyang 35mm 2.8 (in mixed order!) Full image then 100% crop.

The internet "experts" on DPR are saying that this issue is even worst than Sony. Apparently it shows in shadows in *every* picture that's pushed about 4 stops.
Comparatively it only shows in Sony under certain lighting while holding the camera at 37.413 degrees to the light source.
Not sure how true this is but sounds like they went shopping at canon's bargain sensor mart

The warmer or more yellow-orangey ones are samyang...
Easier to tell with cat pictures on my phone than other two
Put the samyang on an A7 and your subjects will have full on jaundice

I heard it was more like 3 stops.The internet "experts" on DPR are saying that this issue is even worst than Sony. Apparently it shows in shadows in *every* picture that's pushed about 4 stops.
Comparatively it only shows in Sony under certain lighting while holding the camera at 37.413 degrees to the light source.

Just goes to show that every camera has its negatives......

Difficult!
I think the Sony has better colours but the Samyang looks to be sharper to me.
Sony is better built and you can add a filter under the hood which is a bonus.
Both focus rings are good. Samyang is a bit tighter and requires a little bit more effort to turn.
Need some further testing!
It’s a shame the 50 1.8 is bad, miss the 28/50 combo, but compromising at a 35!
