Hi all!
I just saw this forum yesterday and I think the discussions and the peoples are amazing! So, I joined and I hope I can get a bit of answer from someone.
I pre ordered A7RII with bunch of free stuffs like ONA bags and such. While waiting, I'm anxious on what lens to get for the A7RII.
A little bit of back story, I'm just a hobbyist/enthusiast. I tried many cameras in the past 2 years, ranging from Fuji XT1, Nikon D750, Sony A7, Olympus em5 mark II, Panasonic GX7, etc. I was not satisfied, and I believe I have a G.A.S syndrome.
However, I decided that this time, I want to stick with 1 brand/system camera for at least 2 years. I almost decided to get Leica M240. The price vs what I get is just isn't worth it for the time being IMO. So I begun to search around for one generation back, the Leica M9 second hand with 35 summicron+50 1.5 voigt for $4000.
I almost get it, but I thought the potential sensor issue, high ISO noise performance, and the quality of the screen alone is a deal breaker for me in 2015 (for now?). Then I looked at sony a7rii and I thought that I could just get one of the best mirrorless camera on the market with 2015's technology stuffed inside for much less than Leica M240. So I preordered. However, the lust of owning Leica lenses still hasn't dissipate from my thought. So I begun to wonder.. I heard a lot regarding the issue with Wide angle M lenses, but as for me, I don't need the wide angle. I just wondering about 4 lenses.
1. Leica M 50mm Summicron
2. Leica M 35mm Summicron
3. Zeiss ZM Distagon 35mm f/1.4
4. Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5
That's all. I will be really grateful if I can get an answer for at least 2/4 lenses above. I have been googling for 2 weeks now, and I can only find a little answer. It seems like every A7 series body behaving differently. I really hope the Zeiss ZM distagon can behave nicely with A7RII because I rather own that one compared to the bigger and heavier Sony Zeiss 35mm F/1.4.
Am I fooling myself here or just being naive? I often think that with Leica + 50 Summicron and 35, I dare and willing to learn to take a great picture. Even when travelling I would like to think that I can survive with those combo alone. While at the same time, with Sony/Olympus/Fuji, I wouldn't feel safe. I would feel insecure, and wanting to get extra wide lenses/telephoto/macro. Is it only due to the price and the brand name? Is there something wrong with me?
Anyway, I am also considering getting second hand canon 24-70 f/2.8 II to use with an adapter because I am not confident with Zeiss's version. Anyone can chime in how's this combo would be?
Anyway, it's been too long already. Sorry for the long post. I would be thankful for any reply in advance.
Regards,
Tora
