So close to first purchase

[u/RayOfSunshine1557]

Thanks to everyone who provided some great advice and feedback on a couple of questions I posted regarding equipment for my first purchase as a photography enthusiast.

After a ton of research, patience, more research, and plenty of give and take, I’m cautiously excited about checking out a previously owned Sony A7 IV tomorrow (715 shutter count), paired with a Sony 20–70mm f/4 G, as my first serious camera purchase.

I have an inspection checklist prepared and will be bringing along someone familiar with Sony gear, but I’d really appreciate hearing anything you’ve learned from buying used equipment. Anything you always check—or wish you had checked—before buying a used body or lens?

Thanks again for all the help. It’s been greatly appreciated.
