Sony A7R II portrait lens, Sony glass vs 3rd party alternative

7 years 3 weeks ago #521094 by Thomas S
I've recently bought a Sony A7R II and have to say this is one impressive camera.  Coming from the Nikon world, this is a completely new experience for me.  

How does some of the 3rd party glass work on these traditionally proprietary camera systems?

Quality third party glass would be fine....

Quality = Sigma is the only brand I would go with

Are you talking about Zeiss lenses?  If so, these are considered to be some of the best on the market. 

Canon 7D, 18-55mm, 55-250mm, 70-200mm L f/2.8, 100mm and 17-55mm f/2.8

Sony makes some decent glass if you are talking about their 'G' series.  Other than than I would go with the Zeiss glass

Isn't Sony supposed to be coming out with a new A7 model this year?
