When it comes to buying a lens today, there are a plethora of options—from Japanese third-party makers to Korean and Chinese manufacturers—one could say that photographers are spoiled for choice.

It's been around two years since the Sony a7cR came out. And in my mind, I still consider it to be one of Sony's best cameras. And they could've made it even better if they only just gave it a joystick and updated the autofocus algorithms to make human detection all that much better like they did with the Sony a1 II. thephoblographer.com »
