OK, I picked up a a7rii with <5k shutter actuations. It's immaculate! I found a package deal; Innorel baseplate/arca tripod clamp, Sigma mc-11, a dual charger and three batteries for a ridiculous price
I'm impressed with the design of the Innorel arca-baseplate/extender. If you're going to put a release plate on your camera, I can't see not going this style. It's a very well designed unit.
The mc-11 works pretty good with the Canon 85/1.8. It could hunt a tad in tricky situations. Still, very acceptable for a portrait lens. The 100/2 doesn't AF at all with it. But the aperture does work. Maybe I'll sell this one. I realized that when my canon gear was stolen, they missed my old sigma 70-200/2.8 ex (usm but no IS). This lens, as you would hope/expect, works flawlessly. Too bad they stole the collar.... Will need to order one off ebay.
For what I do, I have no complaints with the AF speed. Works very well, even in low light. As reviews said, battery life is kind of blah. That's not a show stopper as it doesn't effect the intended purpose of the camera - mostly landscape/streetscape. My initial though is 42Mp will meet and/or exceed my needs:-)
Coming in tomorrow is the Sony 24-105/4 g oss. Can't wait to get my hands on it:-). The autumn colors are in full bloom. So I can't wait to take it out.
My only thought now to complete the kit is to add a prime in 18mm range.
