I had no reason not to switch. Since I wanted to go full frame I would have had to buy new lenses either way. I love how this A7 is smaller and lighter than my D3100 was.

Depending on the glass you have for it, some of that old Rokkor stuff is fantastic for the what its value is now and can be adapted to shoot on some modern systems. You can likely get a a fair price for it from a photography student. 50 to 80 bucks for the body alone if its in really good shape.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

Cosmetically, it doesn't look like it's in good shape. No idea if it works, or how well. It's one of the cameras I found when cleaning out my grandparent's things.
Lens says Rokkor-X 1:1.4 f=50mm.
Along with that camera there is also have a Yashica U-Matic and some Polaroid thing. I'm guessing they're all 60s vintage.

Also, by going with a Sony body, you are kinda stuck with either Sony or Minolta lenses. Not that they are bad, but they are limited. There are a few 3rd party lenses out there, but they may or may not be fully compatible a few years down the road. While both Sigma and Tokina can make some really good glass, the firmware on the camera won't necessarily be happy with said lens. Also, some of the older Minolta lenses won't work with the Sony body. From my standpoint, buying a Sony body is a bit of a risk considering the potential compatibility issues.
Congratulations on buying the new body. I hope it serves you well. Sony makes good stuff.

Meh if you really want to meme about glass you cant ignore how decently metabones adapter works. I do agree though, its my only hesitation point cause canon has football fields worth of glass history.
But the Sigma Art lineup coming out is tipping me over the edge, ghetto fabbed canon conversions or not.
Plus I've rented the A7II and 35mm 1.4T Zeiss lens for break, and im kind of in love.1989 BMW 325is | 2019 Ford Ranger FX4willschnitz

I did a little long exposure daylight work this afternoon. These 3 were all between 1 and 2 min exposures.
This was not a long exposure, but still pretty cool. Its a Kite (the bird) that came cruising through.
