@spidermoon: Perhaps you missed the whole bit about how the a7R II will focus, using phase-detection, 3rd party lenses via electronic adapters. 🙂
The thing is, Sony has now made a body whose main advantage doesn’t even have to be size, but a number of other things: IBIS, on-sensor phase-detection, image sensor-based subject tracking, Sony sensor performance, 4K, etc.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
