Is Sony A7II worth buying in 2020?
So for me, A7II is a great buy for the price. But it can’t shoot 4K videos or doesn’t have super fast Auto Focus Sony’s new cameras are famous for.

There is of course the Zeiss range of manual focus lenses for the A7 cameras but they are not cheap. So when you have some Leica glass ‘laying around’, it’s good to find a proper use for it. (until I can afford an M10 maybe?) It is also nice using good manual focus lenses for a change.
