close to zero. If you like the concept snoy already has zv-e1 though, why wait for boomers at nikon?
Besides, if there is a camera in their inventory that they would've cut off the viewfinder from and sell it to dumbs (sorry) and vloggers, it's gonna be the Z5, not something better.

Thanks everyone for the earlier feedback. I'm more or less set on the R7 now, just one more question. Buying an adapter for my lenses (>>4254685) is there any difference between the first-party Canon one and third-party ones?

It's small, it's light, the viewfinder is bright, it's piss easy to use (turn it on, and fiddles with aperture and speed until the needle is in the middle, no bullshit)

The gap between 3 and 4 is drastic enough in 2020+3, soon to be 4 that you shouldn't beat yourself up for it. The X-T3 is good, but prices for an X-T4 are starting to meteor the longer that the X-T5 is out, that it would be more worth your value getting an X-T4.

Greatest lens ever, even corrected for astigmatism. How many lenses are on the market that you can shoot stars and street lights at f/1.4? yeah

t. haver of that lens

>>4254395
Great lens, same optically as all the other 80-200 2.8s, even better than the frist 70-200 2.8 (but not on par with the VRII, which also got the tripot mount)
You'll have a bad surprise when you'll need to put it on a tripod, but for a price lower than a kit lens, heh...

t. Haver of both

This minimal thing only works at the beginning as then you'll become an hoarder and you can get outside with any kind of lens.

Anyway, the first lens I bought was the 180 2.8, bought for less than a kit lens more than 10 years ago, it is one of the lenses I used the most as you get the focal length you'll always use with a 70-200 2.8 but on a, like, 700g package.

So, the 180 2.8, a 50 or 35mm 1.4 and a 14 1.8 or 20mm 1.4 for a 3 lenses kit on a D800 or a D810

Shop other brands, Sony and Fujifilm are awful value used in Europe but Panasonic and Nikon keep dropping, by now you can easily get a Z6 or S5 for less than that X-T4.

I don't know why but for some reason used sellers are always freaking delulu in Germany, the private ones more so than those who do it as a business.

I guess I'll keep shooting 35mm Film on my AE-1 then ... but Film also costs 4 times what it did when I started with that, I fucking hate it here.

I don't mean to sound cocky or ignorant on how Europe works, but can't you look at other markets in the EU for used gear like France, Belgium, or Spain for example?

Like, if an X-T4 is x amount in Germany, couldn't it be cheaper in France, and so on?

You can, it may or may not be more difficult to get it to ship though, and going through national websites is a pain due to different languages and not knowing where to look. In any case MPB ships anywhere in continental Europe from Germany and sets the used market rate. You can get better deals from individuals but you may spend a lot of time looking for it if you don't live in a huge metro area.

Just looked through, best I can find is from the US ... might be worth it if I pay half for the camera but "just" 50€ for shipping. I just don't how it's going to arrive though, might be sitting on a brick if it arrives in a bad shape.

Can someone familiar with Sony cameras advise whether this screen will be easy to fix? Tutorials online suggest that I can peel off the screen protector and put a new one on. Or is it fucked?

It's the anti-glare coating on the screen, very common to happen over time, and very common with Sony specifically.
Putting a screen protector on will help prevent further degradation. You could try wipe it off completely too, but then you lose the anti-glare aspect. If it were mine, I'd honestly just keep using as-is until it got much worse.
