Sold my Canon, got the Sony, no, let me rephrase that in the correct order.
I already hate the Sony colours.
Bought the Sony a6400 and 50 1.8 OSS to see if the animal eye af is as good as I wanted, ended up going out in a rainy day today to sell all my Canon gears and was originally set out to get the Zeiss 24 1.8 and perhaps an 18-105 F4 in the used market.
And when I got there, almost all the stores were taking the day off for a national holiday, those who knows China knows that they never take a day off unless someone dies, what are the odds considering this is the 2nd time in a decade I traded any photography gears at our local market instead of online, anyway that means I didn't get to get hold of the lenses I wanted to try.
The selling part was without much trouble, the used market still loves Canon A LOT like they've never heard of Sony or anything else (but a Sigma store was open with DPs and SDs in it), whereas online everybody's definitely talking about things that doesn't exist in the real world like animal eye af, hah. Anyway, when a 70-200 f4 shows up at about $800 in one of the open stores that sells hundreds of used Canon gears and literally 4 Sony lenses, I had to get it, I had to.
So here it is sitting on my desk, I knew I was getting this lens at some point but now it seems unjustified. It's light, sharp, weather-sealed and I haven't tested it much so far, I've been missing the Oly 40-150 2.8 from when I had my m43 system, maybe it's about time I shoot some telephoto again.
I'm a bit confused with our forum though, it doesn't seem like we have dedicated image threads for gears, like perhaps the a6400 or Sony APS-C image thread, or in this case the FE70-200 F4 G OSS image thread, should I go ahead and create those or do we not do it like that?
Below is one I shot with the 50mm 1.8 this morning.
