Ah well, the α7R4a is quite a capable camera and you'll have plenty of megapixels for cropping or big landscape prints. You have resisted a new camera a lot longer than I have. Since 2020 I've had a α7Riii, α9, FX30, α1 and α7cii. The last 2 within about 15 months of each other.
α1, α7cii- Voigtländer 15/4.5, 110/2.5 M; Zeiss Loxia- 21/2.8, 35/2, 50/2 & 85/2.4, Zeiss Batis- 85/1.8 & 135/2.8; Sony 24-105/4 & 100-400/4.5-5.6; Sigma 70/2.8 M; Sony 135/2.8 STF

Bought my A7III in June 2020, the A7IV in July 2022.
I'm just an amateur and have earned a whopping €250 in only 40 years of photography.

But, as long as my partner possesses 3 vintage cars and a daily driver and I own only my daily driver, I think I'm not overexpending .

Yeah, I think that's showing restraint.
I don't earn enough from photography to make it a full-time gig, but the revenue does ease the pain of paying for new stuff . And I am being pretty restrained on the lens-front.

And already couple days ago I got the delivery of new Viltrox 28 mm F4.5 pancake lens, so my reasonably long spell of resisting getting any new lenses is officially over. Initial impression is reasonably positive, but I haven't yet used the lens that much, so I need to use it little more before I give a definite verdict.

It'll be good to get your feedback @Hezu. It must look tiny on your camera. Currently I'm really not being tempted by anything.

Which means my lens-resistance phase has now passed its 15th month since my last.
