BOX REPAINTED JUNE 2017 BY CAIZ
A distorted view through a 12-24mm lens. This painted cabinet is part of the Dublin Canvas programme but unfortunately I have no information about the artist other than it is possible that she operates under the name Caiz.
Unfortunately my Sony A7RM2 is coming to the end of its life and I am certain that it will be necessary to replace it within the next twelve months. The problem is that Sony prices are increasing at a rapid rate. For example the new A9 costs about Euro 5,250 here in Ireland which leads me to believe that the replacement for my camera could cost between 7,000 and 9,000 assuming that they introduce an A9R. If they introduce a A7Rmk3 the price is likely to range from Euro 5,000 to 7,000 but I am nor willing to pay that for an upgrade.
I would be more likely to purchase an A9R than an updated A7R. As the price of the A9R is likely to be very high I am considering various options including the new Fujifilm Medium Format body which retails at Euro 7,000. Of course I would have to buy a selection of lenses.
However while planning for the future I am currently auditing my current equipment in order to decide if I should get rid of it or if I can utilise any of it in the future. In the case of the Canon one solution would be to buy some good glass which could also be used with Sony mirrorless bodies. I started the morning believing that this might be an option but the results were disappointing. There is no doubt that AF is a problem but the lens may be part of the problem I will check it with a Sony body within the next few days.
