I have named my current Sony FF lineup “Lightning” (The A9) & “Thunder” (The A7rii). Both lenses have strengths and weaknesses I’ll point out in my review coming soon. In other news, I just sold my last Canon FF. I guess this means I’m a Sony shooter now. I still have hope for them, but they need to step up there game! #a9 #a7rii #sony #sonya9 #sonya7rii #lensprotogo #mavenstrap
