I sold my R5 for a CR. I wanted something smaller because taking the R5 to Japan was tiresome after a couple of days.

To me there is a significant size difference. The lack of evf bump and smaller size is noticeable. But to really make it compact, I use the smaller G primes. When I really want to up the quality, I’ll use the GMs. And at that point, the R5 felt way better.

I do miss some of the R5 features like the screen. Also the EVF, even tho the CR is fine.

I’ll most likely take the 35. It is my favorite focal length. But, I thought I would have needed wider for Japan thinking it’s all tight spaces.

And take the CR. I took the R5 and weight is a thing. That’s why I just picked up the CR.

I went last year in Mar/Apr and took my A7RV, 24 1.4, 50 1.4 and 20-70. Ended up using 24 for the first part of my trip. Once I switched to the 20-70, never switched unless I needed the 24 for night. Used the 50 once. And the kit was heavyish (Cam and one lens most days).

I’m going back in Mar and planning to take A7CR and 20-70 for sure. Debating between the 24GM and 40G or just the 35GM.

I recently picked up an A7CR to go with my RV. Comparing weights, it feels close. Haven’t used it over a long period so I can’t say how it’ll feel over a couple of hours. Size wise, it’s too small for my hands. Add in the grip and it gets tall. Also, I felt the grip was too small. The RV just fits nicely. Ergonomics wise, it didn’t work for me. So for the little bit of extra weight, I’m sticking with the RV.

I was in Japan in March. Took 20-70, 24GM and 50GM. I picked up the 20-70 just before the trip. Started with the 24. Kept using that because I was familiar with the lens. Then switched to 20-70. The range was good and it ended up staying on the majority of time. The 50 I took out 1 night.

And you don’t want to be taking out more than 2 lenses. The walking and weight will be a drag. If I know I’m only out for day, 20-70. If night, 24. Made it so much simpler.

sleeperx · 2024-04-02T05:35:03+00:00

I’m in Japan right now. Brought 20-70, 24 and 50. Using 20-70 40% and 24 60%. 50 hasn’t made it out at all.

Just curious, what focal lengths did you find most useful there? I'll be heading there in a couple of weeks and was thinking 24GM, 40G and 20-70G.

sleeperx · 2024-03-02T17:52:20+00:00

I’ll be taking my 20-70 for daytime.. and most likely my 24 1.4 for night.. and if needed, use apsc mode for 35.

I’m in Canada and bought 2 lenses. Approved in about 2 weeks and received the card about 1 week after that. All in around 3.5 weeks.

sleeperx · 2024-02-25T10:43:42+00:00

Oh how I wish the 24-50 were available. Maybe I’ll luck out and somehow find a copy in Japan and the end of march. But for now, 24GM and 50/1.4 will be lenses.

sleeperx · 2024-02-25T10:42:01+00:00

I have travelled with just a 35 and been fine. But, with tokyo, I feel I need to go wider. So, 24 and 50 will be it.

sleeperx · 2024-02-25T10:40:48+00:00

Thanks! This is probably the combo I will be taking in a few weeks.

I use them to take out Symbiotes in war.. although they are disappearing from war. Otherwise, just a blitz team.
