Douglas,
Thanks for looking. The Nikon Z7 is a fantastic piece of equipment, no
regrets on buying it! The kit lens is a bargain for the price you get it
for as a part of the kit, and I can carry the combo the whole day long, on
a wrist strap, without tiring. According to Alastair Firkin, who uses M
lenses frequently on the Z7, it is the best body to mount Leica M lenses on
as well, because focus peaking makes using them wide open relatively easy,
easier than focusing with a rangefinder, at any rate. I am sure an
appropriate Sony would be equally good.
Cheers
Jayanand
