I don't even know specs yet and i already want the A7RIV, two A9II, and the RX1RIII..
Only 2.
LA-EA4 works OK, although no better than their standard DSLR focussing (which is pretty good). Manual adapters are a bit sucky TBH, and I find the much vaunted focus peaking less useful than the focus assist lamp in a Nikon viewfinder when working manually because it's lighting up a lot of stuff that's a long way either side the focal plane.
Is sending it back and getting the 55mm f1.8 an option?
I think it's daft to hobble lenses with this cheapo crappy focusing system as they must be putting people off. I'd have kept the 50mm macro if the focusing was even half way decent. I suppose only Sony know if the revenue and sales numbers truly stack up.
Hadn't the a7r series been updated every two years to date?
Agreed, but I also think they recognise a 'nifty fifty' is seen as a key part of a line-up. Usually though it's a super performer for the money, rather than a lame duck. The bit I don't get is why, if the controlling electronics are the same in the body, it has to hunt instead of snap into focus like the 24-105? Eye AF was really hit & miss too, and there's no reason for that at all - in fact that's pretty much the decider, because if it can't eye-AF well then I might was well use my A mount Sony 50 1.5 on the LA-EA4 and save some money.
Tell you what, Samsung af is a damn site better than 50 f1.8 af. I may try a little more testing later, but right now colour me unimpressed - in normal conditions my old D610 was quite a bit better, and using f4 this is quite hunty.
I didn't know there were official Sony bags...

That's nice.
Anyone tempted?
I'm not really getting on with mine either. I don't feel any love for it at all!
Tempted by the Samyang 45mm now the prices are starting to come down.
Or just get another 35mm 2.8 Samyang.
I usually use my 70-200 all the time but want something small just in case.
Not for me - I don't like its looks at all!

61MP..... YEAHHHHHH
Doesn't look much different to me, I hope the 8K video isn't the main selling point, that would be nice but I really hope they have improved the important stuff like EVF and weather sealing etc.
That was fake news it isn't 8k and the rumour site have removed that now.
