Sony A7C Pros: Compact, efficient tracking, good battery life. Cons: Viewfinder, no front ring. Opinion: When the A7C came out, after reading everything I could find online and having an A6400 after using the A 6000 for a long time and for a while the A7 II, I was convinced to buy it, I knew about the "small" viewfinder actually with a magnification factor of 0.59x Compared to the later A7CII and A7CR which have 0.70x it. The points I appreciated most were the size and the "Leica type" style. In functionality, accustomed to Sony menus, and APS-c commands I had no problem. I had combined it with a Samyang 24-70 f2.8, but I soon replaced it with the Sony 24-105 f4 that I still have and with a Tamron 150-500. The burst of 10 frames per second and the effective focus tracking allowed me to take photos of the Superbike World Championship race at Misano without any problems, despite being on the grandstand at a certain distance from the track. To improve the functionality of the viewfinder I bought an eyepiece that mounts on the flash shoe and improves the support of the eye, I am a wearer of glasses. In my opinion, the image quality is comparable to that of other 24 Megapixel cameras, which for amateur use already seem to me an adequate resolution that does not require you to have a super computer. coming from a long practice of analogue photography since the early 80s, I am used to seeing the photo while I am taking it and doing little post production. I don't make videos so I don't pronounce on the use in this sense. When the A7CII came out, which improved some aspects, first of all the viewfinder, I traded in. these days needing a second body and not wanting to invest significant amounts of money I bought a used one with warranty on which I will mount Minolta AF lenses (Sony A mount) via Sony LA EA4 adapter. sent on 05 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon Z fc Pros: Aesthetics, direct controls, lightness Cons: Position of some keys (wb on the front) you inadvertently end up on it holding the machine. Very grainy high ISO image rendering, JPEG artifacts? Opinion: I bought the Zfc because it's too pretty, so similar to my old FM. I put them close together in the window to keep each other company. Of course, to do the most old style thing I took the 28 SE which is so reminiscent of the NIKKOR E series. However, being a Sony FF and aps-c user (A7CM2 and A6700) for years now, I have a fleet of Sony E lenses, I looked on Amazon for an adapter to mount Sony lenses on Nikon Z and I found it, Meike transmits all electronic functions and can be updated in the firmware via USB. With the same optics I was a bit disappointed, of course the 6700 is a top of the range 26Mpx the Zfc has only 20, and is of a much lower price class, practically half, but the yield is much lower, less sharpness, reminiscent of the graininess of high sensitivity films, with the same shooting parameters. I reserve the right to make further checks for intellectual honesty, but I fear that this is the reality. Give me some feedback please. Thank you all. sent on 12 Gennaio 2025 |

Samyang AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE Pros: Brightness, construction, price. Cons: Weight and parafocality is not always there. Opinion: Despite the conflicting opinions I bought it to match the A7C. I reserve the right to express a reasoned opinion after some use in various situations. What leaves me perplexed, more than anything else in terms of curiosity is the lack of the vaunted parafocality, of which there are demonstrations in videos on YouTube, some very well cared for. Maybe you get it electronically through a firmware update? It should be an optical feature. Has anyone tried using the dedicated dock station? I found the answer Parafocality works electronically in video with manual focus *Par-Focal function is electronically controlled in MF Video shooting mode.
