Hugh Brownstone gear of the year...
http://www.43rumors.com/the-g85-is-the-best-camera-of-the-year-for-hugh-broiwnstone/#disqus_thread
If you zap along to 17:55 you'll see that a Sony lens wins his lens of the year award.
If you can't wait I'll tell you which one but those who want to watch the vid to find out look away... now...
The Sony GM 85mm f1.4 wins!
And a little off the A7 topic...
His camera of the year is the Panny GX80 and I have one. It's a nice camera hobbled by a below par EVF and the withholding of some really nice features that the previous model GX7 had, the tilting EVF and the AF/MF toggle switch. I really wish they'd kept those and fitted a better EVF.
It's funny how so many cameras are so nearly just right and then the maker spoils it all with a crap grip or by putting the on/off switch in a silly place or withholding a feature the previous model had or doing something else that seems ridiculous. Such is life.
Also, I disagree with his little rant about camera menus. Personally I've never understood the constant and repeated whinging about menus. It's something that I just can't seem to get all that excited about. When I first get a camera I go through the menu mostly turning stuff off and once I've done that honestly all I usually go into the menu for is to format the card and set the clock, that's pretty much it. I remember my Canon DSLR's didn't have a menu as such, they just had a long list and even that was fine with me and I just don't get all this angst about menus. But that's just me
