Hi, The A7RII is being heavily discounted now. Review seem to suggest image quality is as good at the A7RIII at half the price.
Thinking it would be great for landscapes/stills with a three or four primes in the 18-85mm range. The Samyang AF f/2.8 lenses in this range seem to get decent reviews and the prices are right.
Another option is the Tamron or Tokina in the 16-28ish range? The Tokina is an EF sold with mount converter. When my Canon gear was heisted I was left with an my Canon portrait combo; 85/1.2 and 100/2. Both fine lenses that may work on with that converter. Then perhaps add a 35mm to fill the gap. I know I'm off on a tangent now...
Thoughts or comments? I keep feeling like I'm missing something because it's so much less that the RIII? Is the R3 worth the extra $1.2k? Do you have better suggestions for (budget but quality) lenses in the ~18-85mm ranges?
Thanks so much!
