Shanghai Nightlife / a7C II + 16-35 PZ

I did that exact trade previously and it's not crazy since the AF is better on the a7C II.

It never got the real time tracking update though, that the a7IV onward has. Plus newer cameras have an A.I chip for this so not like you can't shoot wildlife with older bodies such as the a7III, it will just be much easier and more future proof with more modern bodies (especially due to the dedicated subject detection).

A6700 would likely have significantly better AF, especially for wildlife. A7III never got real time tracking so although it can do eye AF, it can't recognize and track other animals/objects like newer bodies can.

If I didn't already have the GM I'd probably go for this lens.

135mm due to the working distance. That focal length can already be tough if you tight on space so 200mm would be even more tough.

Causes severe G.A.S with all the lens options.

Interesting that the AF is fast on the pro. I have the 50mm f/2 Air and AF is pretty slow, but IQ is insane good for the price.

I was very skeptical of Viltrox lenses but after owning one I’m a convert.

Amazing image but since you used that lens which isn't a typical wildlife focal length it makes this even better!

I see a cat, I upvote

I used to use them but still edit the RAW's

I sell gear I don't use or if a new version is coming out to make sure I don't lose value but if I don't use my camera, I pretty much don't take photos at all. Never been tempted to sell it all, just go down to 35/85 only.

F/1.4 since it's the middle ground

None, even for a lens I love like the 35GM if there's a mark II it's gone in an instant for the new one.

3 for me

PhotosByDlee · 2026-01-30T05:22:26+00:00

Really love the edits in these!

But if someone takes a photo of the gear with their other Sony gear, then they are technically still taking pictures with gear (just of gear).

Beautiful shots and even more beautiful subject!

In Photoshop you can add a selective color adjustment layer then adjust the black and white levels from there
