Well I'm thinking of changing some things up. I shoot many things but my biggest issue is PR type stuff and AF in low light. Quality is not paramount here but I have rented and owned the 24-70 F4 Sony several times and it simply does not AF well in low light and its pissing me off. I'm thinking for the A7II and this stuff getting a Tamron 24-70 2.8 which I had back in my Nikon days and was a great performer heck even a Sigma 24-70 2.8 is not rated awesome but would work for this stuff which is usually flash at 6.3 grip and grin crap. Hate it but it makes me money. LOL Folks it's all about money here nothing that turns my jets on. I was thinkng Ng of selling my 85 1.4 for it than on the A7r side of the house I can get lenses where Af is meaningless. Still keep my 16-35, 35 and 50 Loxia and the new 90 Macro plus my Minolta 200 would be a really nice creative high MPX a Kit. On the PR side I can still through in the bag the 16-35, Tammy 24-70 as primary and 200mm. I could even throw in the 2 Loxia but bottom line I need a 2.8 AF zoom lens than I cant stop screwing around with this stuff. The ZA Sony 24-70 is not bad either but I'm not willing to spend that kind of money.
So I'm looking for a trade for the 85 1.4 for a 2.8 zoom or sell the 85 out right. Thoughts on what 2.8 zoom would AF best on these A7 series. Obviously it's going to be a A mount with my LAe4 adapter.
What's been hurting all along is I been stifled on my high Mpx Kit just to keep the PR kit in tack. I want to seperate this but be able to stretch across the cabinet when needed.
