Excellent well considered advice about lenses.
I'll add how I figured out which lens to buy - I rented the lenses I was thinking about. If you live in a large city, there is most likely a professional camera store where you can rent for the weekend (they almost always do a deal, pick up on Friday after 3PM, return on Monday by 10AM and you only pay for one day). Even if it isn't exactly the lens you are thinking of, it will give you an idea. There...

As an art photographer, who has worked with the Sony line of alpha cameras,( since they were Konica Minolta and before...), I can say little but GOOD things about this camera, and its family.
I have passed on the much-hyped other brands, because, after trying them out,(there's a rental agency that I use for lenses that I can't afford, and test driving other brands), I return again and again to my Sonys.
The format is excellent, the mirrorless build...

This is an amazing lens, and is super sharp, has great focusing speed, and the images through it are just awesome. This is the lens I miss most since switching away from Canon to Fuji. It is very heavy indeed, and works much better with a larger body: best fit for a full frame body, and on a smaller APS-C it will feel quite unbalanced. The resale value for this lens is very high, so getting on Massdrop at a great price, using for a while an...

No offense, but I don’t think you’ve been paying much attention to the camera market lately. The a7rIII is capable of an incredible amount of features that no other camera maker can touch right now.

My a6300 (which is less advanced than the a7rIII) auto focuses all my Canon lenses really quite well, and I ...

I'm curious why people are voting for the 0.71x over the 0.64x. The 2x crop factor is a major limitation of MFT cameras, and the 0.64x adapter really helps bring canon lenses closer to their "35mm equivalent" focal length.

Dammit! I just bought this lens on Amazon for full price. It NEVER goes on sale from any major retailer. They don't need to put it on sale because it just sales so well.
I've seen grey market sales for closer to $700, some small camera shops (probably again grey market) have sales and bundles but that is still pretty rare.
Right now looking on Amazon US this lens is $800, B&H is $800, Adorama is $800. I'm not sure what type of deals people are look...
