As a photographer, I've gone through a myriad of camera bodies and lenses. Point and shoot cameras, cropped sensor cameras and full frame cameras. Then there are the lenses. Zoom and fixed focal lengths, I can't count the number of bodies I've gone through in the past 15 years or so. But the Sony a7R II body with its 42.4 megapixel full frame sensor has to be the best camera I've ever used. The Sony f3.5-6.3 24-240MM lens is the most versatile lens I've ever owned. It's no f2.8 70-200MM lens but I don't need the 16-35 or the 70-200 and another body to carry around.
As I get progressively older, I do not want to carry around multiple bodies and lenses. Like I've stated in the past, when I was in the Rockies, I carried around 3 lens, 3 bodies and a camcorder. That was a pain the butt I can tell you. I also switched to the Sony RX100 Mark VII which was an amazingly fantastic little pocket camera. But I needed something a bit more versatile. The Sony a7R II combined with the Sony f3.5-6.3 24-240MM is just the right combination for a one man run and gun setup.
I was hoping I'd be moving out west to Calgary in the next couple of weeks but it looks like that is going to be put on hold. With the corona virus, SSC is not bringing us on past March 31st of this year which sucks. Photo sales are not picking up and I think things will get only worse before they get any better.
I am hoping at some point this year, we will make out west. I want to do a lot more landscape photography with the Sony a7R II and the Sony f3.5-6.3 24-240MM lens. On a side note, iPad OS 13.4 came out today and it has made the iPad a little worse for wear. The Files app is a huge disappointment It now crashes whenever I try to copy over the 85 megabyte files from the Sony a7R II. I am stuck using my Windows 10 laptop. I'm thinking that I will try the 2018 Apple iPad Pro tomorrow again after the system settles down a bit. In the meantime, I'll be using the Windows 10 laptop and Affinity Photo 1.8.2 to edit the photos.
