Like I said in another thread, I was so impressed by the Canon R that I bought a Sony A7R3. My plan was to use it adapted to my fleet of Canon optics as a holding pattern until Canon got their crap together with sensor quality.
After a week with the Sony I decided to dump almost all of my Canon optics and I have a crate of Sony gear arriving tomorrow and a 400f2.8GM coming in a few weeks.
I liked my Canon optics but if you do not have a good sensor to put them on then all is lost. I lost faith waiting for them to change their arrogant attitude. And native lenses just work much better than adapted. Basically all I kept were my 17/24II/90II TS and 180 macro. (Could not find a better 180 at this point).
I was initially concerned that optically I would loose a bit in some areas with Sony; but the manufactures MTF curves put all the Sony GM optics I am getting ahead of the Canon I am replacing, and those that I tested directly on the same body confirm what those curves are saying.
For a few years I thought Bernard was a bit too intensive on his promotion of Nikon and their sensors over Canon, (read fanboy to the max), but in reality he was right on that one. Although over all I still believe Canon optics hold their own very well with Nikon.
I could have gone Nikon, as of course there sensor status has been great, but they are too much at a cross road themselves to invest in F mount while they slowly roll out the mirrorless side. So, I could not fully join Bernard but instead found middle ground.
Does this mean I will have to change my avatar picture?
