I can’t tell you how much this camera has added to my life I began shooting with 35mm slr’s 50 years ago. Found my way into the air force where I got trained in 4 x 5. Fell in love. I shot a whole bunch of 4 x 5 cameras both in b&w and color for years. Did my own darkroom work. Loved it. Got older and not so strong. Went to Hasselblad, just like Ansel. Loved it. Never lost my preference for German glass. Then digital came along. I was slow to respond. Finally I took the dive. Traded everything film for a Canon system. EOS 5D Mark II with 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200. I thought zooms would make life easier. But I began to lose interest in photography. I’d just grab the camera, zoom, and snap. My photos showed my laziness. With the 4 x 5 and a fixed lens, tripod position was everything. With zooms it didn’t matter. Then Sony comes out with this camera. It’s magical. Mirrorless.

The A7R II is a keeper I have just purchased the A7II, love using it but when the A9 was released the price of the A7R II dropped. I could not pass up the moment and sold my A7II. It is not a sports camera but for me it is the total package. For what the camera can do, the price is worth it. Despite future iterations of the A7R, this one will be a keeper. I will never be upgrading for many years to come. This and my other mirrorless cameras, Panasonic GX8, G85 and Ricoh GR II have never been a disappointment and I always have fun using them. I can’t say that much when I had my Nikon D610 and those big heavy lenses. As a workhorse camera, I do agree DSLRs are still better but if you only need one camera in your bag, a compromise for having something small and lighweight for travel and professional work, mirrorless is the way to go. Took these few snapshots soon as I got the camera.
