Have just taken delivery of an A6500 with E16-70mm ZA. For quite a while I've been toying with the idea of buying something lightweight and compact for strolling around doing the touristy things. Whilst I have a distinct preference for film particularly medium format, increasing decrepitness means such activities have become very limited and an hours stroll with my Hasselblad puts me out of action for the next day or so. Coupling the APS-C A6500 with a Sony/Zeiss T* 16-70mm provides a very useful 24-105mm coverage in 35mm terms in a package that is not going to (hopefully) knacker me quite as quickly... Oh and the bonus is that not only were the camera and lens on special offer, there is a £230 cash-back on offer from Sony.
First impressions are of excellent quality products and images - but the myriad layers of menus are a complete contrast to my other digital camera (Leica M240). Will take some time to explore all the options but at least I have assigned raw + b&w jpg to Memory Recall 1 for my favourite setting.
Would welcome reading experiences & tips from more experienced users.
