Hi Roman, I understand you switching from Fuji to Sony & giving Leica a go. During my career I switched from Nikon to Canon because Canon went digital first. I use to think that my camera was simply a tool to get the job done. And Sony is brilliant at that, however I now believe that a camera has to have a soul, not a good word but you have to bond with your camera, your camera has to become an extension of your creativity. Having used dozens of cameras over the years I've only experienced this twice, once with the EOS 7D & the second time with the XT3. I love your channel irrespective of what camera you chose to use. Good luck with your new kit, I hope it delivers everything that you're expecting. Cheers Steve
My small gear travel setup is the Sony a7riiia, Sony 20mm f1.8, Sony 35mm f1.8, and the Sigma 90mm f2.8. I can fit them all into a tiny camera bag, making it great for travel.
That's a lot of kit to hump around and look after when travelling. I used to carry a lot of Nikon kit - then Fuji and now I use the Leica Q3 28mm - 43 is too long for the travel shots I do - and loving it. Just having the one camera sets you free. You concentrate 100% on the shot and don't have to think about what to use - lens to choose etc. 60 megapixels mean you can crop later and still get fantastic results.
I travel a bit differently and my trips can last for 2 - 4 months at a time. Of course I would never go out with all this gear at once. In most cases I will only have 1-3 lenses on me. Having travelled like this for the last 3 years, I know for my, this is the most minimal kit that can cover 100% of what I need for photo and UA-cam
I wish Nikon made a 24-50 f1.8 for the Z system... in the meantime I use my 40f2 and 28f2.8 on the Nikon Zf, really love the compactness of the system, no camera bag, I just put the lens I do not use in the jacket's pocket. Minimal setup very pratical. Wishing an happy new year to you too
I sold all my Sony gear and switched to Fuji film watching you and John Branch. I'm still moderately happy with the system, looking forward to the new firmware. I'm thinking about making another switch to Nikon😮 I love my X-100vi though.
Look around, there are a few dozens of videos. Long story short. AF was worst than ever with the Firmware 4.0, fortunately this week they released the version 4.1 as a partial fix and it seems is better.
@@MaxR. Yep, that is what makes UA-camrs more exposure (new camera, new gadget) and money, photography comes second. I some time wonder what these UA-camrs longer term business plan might be. Lots of them are gone already.
@janfrosty3392 I don't blame Roman. I also love to change camera gear, try something new. Went from Olympus to Fujifilm to Nikon and back to Fujifilm. I would take a Leica Q3 any second if i could afford it just for the fun. If new gear gives you new inspiration and just more fun and you can afford it, than I would always go for it
@@MaxR. I’m not blaming Roman, I’ve myself change camera gear from Fujifilm to Panasonic S5II but only because I can share lenses with my Leica SL system.
My go-to travel kit is an RF 24-105 f/4 + RF 35 f/1.8 with my Canon R5 (or R8 if I'm really going compact). Two lenses, one good from sunrise to sunset and a fast 35mm prime for night. My photography style keeps me around 35-50mm so with the R5's 45mpx resolution, I can get a 35mm shot or easily crop in for a 40 or 50mm look. Plus the RF 35mm can do 0.5x macro work, great for food shots. One cam, two lenses, a very versatile kit for me. I do wish Canon had a 24-50 f/2.8, I'd maybe choose that over a 35mm prime.
I recently transitioned from the XH1/XPro-3 combo with a handful of Fuji lenses to the same Sony A7RV, but just two primes for now; the 24 and 85 1.4s. So far, so glad to have made the switch, finding that the Sony is helluva lot of fun to shoot with, and oh my god the autofocus is EPIC. Didn't know what I was missing with the Fuji system. Brings more confidence to my shooting experience. Hope you have fun with it too, can't wait to see the content you produce with it.
Having fun shooting withe the Sony when you had a Fuji??? That doesn’t seem plausible. I have both systems, been 10 years with the Sony system. Doing pro work? Then yes Sony is a more “comfortable” system. Fun? No, work is never fun. Are you a hobbyist who likes to spend a big chunk of your time on processing photos? Then, yes the sony is again more “comfortable” system. But fun? In comparison to Fuji? That sounds more like trying to convince yourself that you made the right decision.
Looking forward to the book update. I was about to go to the printers to have a book printed for my ease of reading & use, but "I'll wait for version update. All the best to you & yours & continued success & health in 2025.
Thanks for your insights on gear for next year Roman. I have both bodies and the same set of zoom lens too except the wide angle one! I had the 20-70 F4, super sharp but eventually I changed it to 24-50 F2.8 because of the counterintuitive design which I love. Was also a Fujifilm user for a long while but had to switch because autofocus issues gave me a scare during a paid shoot. Have been with Sony now since 2023. Interesting choice of primes there. For my kit I have the Sony 35mm F2.8 ZA for transit while traveling and EDC, and a Sony 85 F1.8 for a lightweight mid tele if needed during traveling. Have a great new year and keep rocking those vids. Cheers.
I use a Sony A7R4, supported by a Leica D-Lux 8 for days when I want a small camera, so in essence not a million miles from your kit choice. I bought a Bellroy 10 litre sling on the basis of your recommendation and have just returned from a week in Malta. I found it a great bag and it will be my daily carry from now on. I loo forward to the free update of the book and the rest of your 2025 content. HNY.
Happy New Year Roman! I'm looking forward to now experiencing all your insights on my favorite camera...A7R5! I have my Fuji XT5 and use that more for everyday, but you cannot beat the Sony for autofocus speed and image quality. Sometimes a little too sharp, but who's complaining! Question for you....I know that I need to pick up a second Sony for backup and to use as a second camera at weddings. I have been back and forth between picking up A74 (I've had it in the past and it's really good camera) or do I get that A7Cii. Would you feel confident enough with that camera to be a second camera for weddings? It has only one card slot and that is what's keeping me just getting that.
Please do a video or camera guide on the Sony. Menu set up bewilders me on Sony. I am coming from film cameras and simple leica menus. I would appreciate it.
I know you’ve sold most of your fujifilm gears, but with the ones you got left, how has your experience with the new firmware update been? Is the AF situation better now?
I missed your last 2 videos and just as I caught up you released this one. So 3 videos in. Thanks for invading my room 😂 Great kit. I moved away from Fujifilm beginning of the year, though I decided to get the X100VI to use per occasion. The first camera I got was the Nikon ZF, followed by the Sony A7Cii. Interesting thing happened, I thought I would build my kit around the Nikon but found myself slowly building my Sony kit due to constant specials. The only issue is, it takes longer to learn the cameras. I am thinking of selling the Nikon ZF for the Sony A7RV to keep consistency with the system. Anyway, can’t wait to see the new chapter and hopefully your thoughts between your two Sony cameras and which you like better.
It'd be great if you could share your opinion and experiences with the a7c II in due course. I'm thinking of replacing my a7r IV with the a7cr, even if I will miss a few features from time to time. At the moment I'm waiting for the price to drop further though, so I still have time.. 😁
The 24-50 is Sony's best kept secret. Errr, was... 🤣 It's ridiculous how good it is in a nice tidy affordable package. I would encourage you to check out the Sony 11mm APS-C lens on your A7Cii for video instead of the 16-25. Both the A7Cii and A7RV shoot oversampled video at 4K/24 in APS-C mode. Once you add in the crops from APS-C/Active Stabilization you end up with about 20mm equiv. FOV. Plus with your A7RV you are still getting a 26MP image. Lastly, it's f/1.8 compared to f/2.8 which is incredibly useful in low light situations (esp night). Looking forward to seeing you try out the new gear in 2025!
not right now... I don't enjoy shooting in low light that much so I don't need them. With that said, I will eventually get them because I want to try and see how they compare, how the images look etc
@@snapsbyfox gotcha, granted I’ve used the q3 for a month I’d have to say I’d be grabbing the VI before it for travel. Excited to read the blog though. Cheers & happy new years!
I *love* my A7C II. But why didn't you get the silver version? imho it looks so much nicer than the all-black variant, and it doesn't immediately scream "MAN TOY" when I'm out and about.
because silver cameras attract attention I feel. I learned this from using the silver X100VI over the last year. Also for me these are tools and not things to look at so to speak haha
Doubt I will be going back for a very long time (excluding NYC to see friends). My girlfriend is Ukrainian and she keeps getting her visa rejected to the point where we will try once more and then not bother again if it's a no. If they approve it, then we wanna do a big US road trip. If it's rejected then not sure I will visit for many years sadly.
Interesting you use a polarising filter. Maybe everyone has got one but just never bothers mentioning it! When I first got into photography they were officially a Big Thing. I found their usefulness quite limited and felt they were really over-hyped. I'm not saying they're useless, just that they are a fairly special purpose bit of kit for certain situations. If you're bored one day maybe you could make a video on when and how you use yours?
But I find full frame lenses are too big for travel. But in your case it is different because you are a professional. I will stick to my Fujifim X-T5. Thank you for all your great videos
I think his a7 2 might actually be smaller than the xt5 and is still full frame. Have been thinking about upgrading my xt1 which is similar to xt5 size and a7c 2 smaller but Ff. A7v a bit bigger
Well I think that only applies if you use the most high end fast lenses. My f2 sigma primes are smaller than the equivalent f1.4 Fuji lenses. The 70-200 f4 is smaller and lighter than the 50-140 f2.8. The A7RV is smaller than the XH2. With Fuji the weight and size saving is only on the smallest gear such as XT5 and f2 primes I find
@@snapsbyfox thanks Roman Thinking of upgrading xt1 in new year. Would be interested on your take on Sony colours out of the camera ( and can you customise) as not enough time for lots of editing. Also just how good bad A7c2 evf is? Haven't had chance to go take a look yet. Happy new year to you. 👍
haha I once saw a friend upload a video and it said uploaded 23 seconds ago. I was about to write - cool video bro loved it... but then got distracted and forgot
I can really really really recommend the Sony 20-70 F4 G. Sharp as hell. Almost as compact as the 24-50. Parfocal! Little to no breathing. Sharp as hell! All but in the dark situations. This lens will be on my camera for a trip. Also video gigs. Pair it with the 35 1.8 and you are done for 90% of travel stuff you can think of. Especially with the higher MP bodies. For events and weddings love the 35-150 but it is to chunky for travel. 50 1.4 and 85 1.8 for portraits and 20 1.8 for party mode 🎉 Sigma glass is awesome btw. But in my experience AF might be comparible with GM glass in good lighting. In the dark G and GM glass hunts a lot less and is still awesome
Well as for Sony, the G lenses I have cost the same as equivalent Fuji red badge zooms. Give or take £200. The sigma f2 primes are cheaper or about the same as the Fuji f1.4 alternatives. The A7R is more money, but the A7Cii is about the same as most top end Fuji bodies. The big price tags you're referring to only apply to the really high end stuff like GM lenses, A7R, A1 etc. As for Leica, that's a luxury item and most people who use one are normal photographers in my experience.
Thank you Roman for all your videos in 2024. Have a great Start in 2025. Greets Erik
Thanks for the free update for the book for existing customers! Lovely surprise :)

We are using pretty much the same kit, minus some differences with the lenses. Agree with everything you said.

Hey Roman is the a7cii weather sealed? Been trying to find if it is but haven’t seen much reviews about that.
yeah think so! I used it in the pouring rain last week and no issues
I wonder why did you choose the sigma 35mm over the sony 40mm f2.5 given your favorite focal length is 40mm?
because I want something wider for general daily snapshots
Have you considered an alternative: Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm F2 vs Sigma 50mm f2 ?
not really… I think eventually I will experiment with all the main options
I know you’ve sold most of your fujifilm gears, but with the ones you got left, how has your experience with the new firmware update been? Is the AF situation better now?
I still have the X100VI and I haven't tried yet... it's on the list of things to do haha

What mic is this video recorded on?
Rode podcast NTG thing but the audio is far from good in this space
Just curious, you seem to like long focal lengths. Have you got any interest in that new samyang 135mm f1.8 lens?
Do you mean the new Viltrox 135 1.8? I just ordered that today!
not really as I don't need f1.8 tbh
The 24-50 is Sony's best kept secret. Errr, was... 🤣 It's ridiculous how good it is in a nice tidy affordable package.

I got mine because I like using telephoto lenses, even if it's not as often as other focal lengths

why not choose the sony 40 and 50mm f2.5 instead of the sigma 35 and 50mm f2 ?

Interesting you use a polarising filter. Maybe everyone has got one but just never bothers mentioning it! When I first got into photography they were officially a Big Thing. I found their usefulness quite limited and felt they were really over-hyped. I'm not saying they're useless, just that they are a fairly special purpose bit of kit for certain situations.

Is that a ding in the top plate of the Q??? 😱
not sure… I was very drunk at the boys Christmas pub crawl and the cameras did get covered in wine… so anything is possible but will check haha
@snapsbyfox pretty noticeable, looking down from behind the camera, top left on the edge.
53 seconds ago is nuts (i swear i'm not an npc)
haha I once saw a friend upload a video and it said uploaded 23 seconds ago. I was about to write - cool video bro loved it... but then got distracted and forgot
no more fuji :(
Still have the X100 but it isn't the main travel kit
I can really really really recommend the Sony 20-70 F4 G. Sharp as hell. Almost as compact as the 24-50. Parfocal! Little to no breathing. Sharp as hell!
All but in the dark situations. This lens will be on my camera for a trip. Also video gigs.

For events and weddings love the 35-150 but it is to chunky for travel.
50 1.4 and 85 1.8 for portraits and 20 1.8 for party mode 🎉
Sigma glass is awesome btw. But in my experience AF might be comparible with GM glass in good lighting. In the dark G and GM glass hunts a lot less and is still awesome
I did look at that! I might give it a go too. the main selling point for me with the 24-50 is it starts at 50
@snapsbyfox good point, not a deal breaker for me, but the 20-70 is about 3 cm out when at 50mm, 1cm at 35mm though.
As a professional fair play… do what you do… as a “normal photographer” you’ve lost us. Sony G and Lieca is way above the normal photographer… enjoy
Well as for Sony, the G lenses I have cost the same as equivalent Fuji red badge zooms. Give or take £200. The sigma f2 primes are cheaper or about the same as the Fuji f1.4 alternatives.
The A7R is more money, but the A7Cii is about the same as most top end Fuji bodies.
The big price tags you're referring to only apply to the really high end stuff like GM lenses, A7R, A1 etc.
As for Leica, that's a luxury item and most people who use one are normal photographers in my experience.
Underwhelming. A7C2 is a pain to carry long distances and not ergonomic, forcing the use of bigger lenses to produce an above average shot...
Sorry, what's underwhelming?
Crappy kit for travel 😂
I suspect you used this and you speak from experience?
