So, what lenses have people opted for?
Primes vs zooms, native vs adapted?
Primes vs zooms, native vs adapted?
I just realised I have 35/50/85 for all native mounts in Canon, Fuji and Sony.
I've just been looking at the Zeiss Primes and they look amazing. In particular the 35, 85, and the 135.

Currently running...
24-70 GM
16-35 GM
85 GM
70-200 f4
Laowa 12mm 2.8
35mm 1.8 OSS ---- not quite sold on this one yet...so may be up for sale shortly.
The 35mm/1.8 is a rubbish lens IMO though most of the world will disagree with me. It was as sharp at f2.8 as my Zeiss 35mm/2.8 wide open. Wide open at f1.8 it's mostly soft apart from the very centre.
exactly what I was thinking. I wanted a small lens to pair with the a6500, to convince me to keep the body instead of getting a second full frame ... but I'm not overjoyed by the 35. I know its not fair to, but when I compare to the IQ that all my other lenses give its just not there, but equally I know I'll struggle to get anything that small that does compare. Thinking maybe to give the 28 f2 or sigma 30 1.4 a go...

Nice price.any idea what the 50 oss is like? mpb have one for 99...
Nice price.
Much better than 35mm/1.8
Also not amazing sharp wide open but definitely usable. At that price I'd get it if it's not too narrow for you.
As a general rule of thumb all Sony APS-C e-mount lenses are either bad, overpriced or both. That 50 OSS is not one of them

What's that at the back of the woman? Some Square backpack?
Any views from Sony users on this deal ? https://www.jessops.com/p/sony/a7-m...bag-and-spare-battery-146155?homepagestatic02
Is the A7 still worth a punt ?

you could get that far cheaper used, or a better body. As an example, MPB had / have an A7 mark ii for £560 - "well used" but actually looks alright and has warranty ... and the FE 50mm lens for £120... so thats cheaper than your link and better body by far
Pretty good deal, but it depends on what you are planning on shooting. The A7 isn't the fastest camera and neither is the 50mm, add both together and it could prove to be annoying. Are you a m4/3 shooter?
fair enough, the only thing for me was the screen but thats actually a factory installed screen protector you can peel off and replace ... not many people know thatThanks - I can see what you are saying but I couldn't cope with the condition of that - food for thought though !
Seems like Sony just throw away my list of fw features they should add as nothing was added from it

ooo i'll take improved AF for free
Time to test that I guessYeah this caught my eye:
Adds support for all focus areas when using LA-EA3 mount adaptor
(Focus Area options added: Zone, Expand Flexible Spot, and Lock-on AF)
I wonder does that mean all the native AF focus area options are now available with adapted EF lenses also?
So its basically as good as native now?
awaiting your word nowTime to test that I guess
serious? its not on the feature listThey also added anti-flicker mode
im at work till 7pm.awaiting your word now
serious? its not on the feature list
