But the prospect of buying a new camera when I broke my Sony a7iii’s viewfinder glass made me look for low-cost alternatives, and the first thing I did was fish my rarely-used backup body out of the very bottom of my other camera bag. You know the one, the one I tell myself to take out in case, but never actually do.
