Any Sony folks used an A77ii and an A7Rii?

I currently have an A7 with a 16-35mm f4 mounted to it and an A77ii with a 70-400G2 attached to it. I sold my 55mm as I wasn't using it.

Originally I used the 70-400 on the A7 with the LA-EA4 adapter. The picture quality was immense but the AF was lacking. eventually I bought an A77ii, the Autofocus does exactly what I want it to but I do find I cant boss the exposure around in post like I can on the A7. I really struggle on grey days in ways I never have with the A7.

I can't afford any of the mk3 models but A7Rii have started popping up for sensible money second hand with warranty. Does anyone know if the A7Rii can match the A77ii for auto focus tracking? Birds in flight is what I am interested in mostly.

That wouldn't work for me unfortunately. The 6500 is cropped, rendering the 16-35 a bit redundant. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my first post, I'm tight on cash so would be looking to sell both bodies to get the A7Rii. Dont really need to have two bodies anyway so consolidating would be good.

As far as I recall, the A7ii was an A7 with nicer materials, better button placement and the 5 axis IS. It wasnt a significant jump.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the A7Rii, I'm a bit more confident about the camera now, the AF really needs to be great. Those are some great shots as well

This is the sort of thing I've been doing with my A77ii
