More and more, I see a magic combination with the Sony A7R 2 and the Leica Vario-Elmar 35-70 F4 lens. Though you need a Leica R to E-Mount adapter and have to focus manually, the output is shining.

Nowadays it got more difficult to do sports. Gyms closed, some take the dusty weight bench out of the basement others go running. Once a day, I catch some fresh air, and even at this time, you can shoot photos.
