Ask Me Anything (AMA) – Sony a7rII 42mp Full Frame Mirrorless Camera

For the last few days I have been incredibly fortunate to be one of the first photographers in the US to receive the newly announced Sony a7rII, a 42mp full frame mirrorless camera that has caught the attention of the entire photo industry. While I am currently hard at work on my own full in-depth review (which should be posted in the next week), I want to open things up to all of you in the meantime. This is an AMA, otherwise known as an Ask Me Anything session where you can ask me anything you want about the Sony a7rII in the comments below. Do you want to know what is new in the menu system? What about how AF works with 3rd party lenses? What about ISO performance? I have my A7rII in hand, so feel free to fire away!
