Alan are you a hairdresser?
But it doesn't have to be hideously expensive. I've spent bugger all on it for a long time.
The trick is to think about your requirements and keep the GAS in check. I'm sure every system can be hideously expensive if you're the kind who need to own every possible lens for the single digit times a year you might use it.
Kind of true in the case of the case of the original A7 and a couple of primes or adapted stuff but when you want f1.4 lenses or the 2.8 zooms and the a7rii pricing gets a little silly.
I've settled on a 1 camera 1 lens setup for quite some time now, I'd still like another csc like the a6k again just to chuck in the car or for video.
I get some time to myself on Thursday so I've got my car ready and I've got my camera ready What could go wrong?
Outside...
That looks pretty clean for 5,000!! What noise editing [if any] did you use?

Why did I say that...
I got all ready and pulled my car out but I realised I'd forgotten my woolly hat so I went back inside, picked up my had and walked out of the door again and in that time someone had but a big dent in my drivers side door. My usual guy says it'll cost £140. He's very cheap Luckily CCTV revealed the guy opposite backing his 4x4 into my little MX5 and driving off. When confronted he acted nonplussed until CCTV was mentioned and he then agreed to pay.
Grrrrrrr....
What a git!
I want CCTV!!... When confronted he acted nonplussed until CCTV was mentioned and he then agreed to pay..
Finally went for it and picked up an A7 over the holidays. I've been shooting just film on my Leica M6 TTL for the last 5-6 years but become increasingly unhappy with the quality of developing I could get round here...and of course convenience!
Only had a chance for a quick stroll with it, but loving it so far. Great companion to my rangefinder glass, handles great on the A7. Not sure I'm going to be using the kit lens much....
This is with the 50 Summilux 1.4. I've also got a Voigtlander Nokton 35.14 and a Voigtlander 12mm ultra-wide.
Great stuff. Was it just the basic A7 you went for?
It's interesting that the falling quality of development drove you to digital as that's what happened to me back in 2003 or so. I assumed at the time that they'd cut costs to compete with emerging digital and had hurt quality in the process. Whatever the cause if the quality of processing has stayed up I'd have stuck with film much longer.
PS.
Was the inclusion of flare deliberate or unavoidable?
If you've seen my pictures you may have spotted that I deliberately provoke it at times
Can't you get an adapter that allows infinity focus?
