I’m hoping ebay do £1 list fees again soon. Looking on there my A9 would be the cheapest available, but currently refuse to list with the standard fees!

Things of eBay are so overpriced, I have seen people pay same price as new ones or very close to it on there. And I don't mean just for camera gear.
I hate feeding that market but sales are slow here so I end up having sell to there
Then a week after there will be someone here looking for the exact same thing I sold!
Mind sharing in the link? Sometimes they do work for others even though they haven't been invited.They must be doing account specific £1 selling fee's as I had an email from them yesterday offering the option.

I never figured how it works. Seems random.
I'm sure they're nice cameras but they're also at quite a price.
For those of you who've used Fuji and Sony, how do you think the X100v would compare to a Sony A7 with 35mm f2.8?
it probably will be at least equal if not better. But the lens on X100 is f2 vs. f2.8 of the Sony 35mm. So it has one stop of advantage.
Really old FF vs. latest APS-C. So overall I think it will be better yes.
How do you know it’s better then, when you have never used one?
I have used my neighbours it is better than the older versions but not by much, the lens still isn’t great and can still be very soft
Have no idea if the sensor is better than the A7, my eldest has an A7 but I have never used it. It definitely isn’t as good as my own camera bodies.
It a nice looking little toy like all of the models before it and am sure it will be a hit with the old fellas and hipsters it is aimed at.

Nice one,My PS4 Pro just sold for £360 - you can buy new one for cheaper! Not that I’m complaining!
Lol guess I’m a Hipster then
If your going to compare with with high end Sony gear, it’s obviously going to fall short in some area’s, especially for paid professional use.
For personally photos of the kids, family, landscape, street and holidays etc its a great camera and worth considering.
The new lens is a very noticeable improvement over the previous generation, intend to mostly shoot wide open
Hipster and old.

Any recommendations for a tripod and gimbal type head?
Getting the new 20mm f1.8 and thinking it's excellent got me thinking about my other lenses and if the lenses I think are the best are the ones I like the best and that's not always the case.
So, if anyone is bored... what's your best lens/es or the best lens/es you've used and what's your favourite?
Mine...
This 20mmk f1.8 may be the best lens I've ever had.
The Sony 35, 55 and 85mm f1.8's I have are all very good but all have something I can criticise if I'm being hyper picky. With the 35mm it's slightly ho hum bokeh and some ca, with the 55mm it's some ca and with the 85 it's mostly the slightly cats eye swirly bokeh but this is scene and dependant. The Sony 35mm f2.8 is nice but I can't say it's outstanding, just very very good I suppose the Sony 28-70mm f3.5-5.6 is a really good kit lens but although it may be he best standard range variable aperture zoom I've used I can't say it the best lens I've used.
Looking at my Voigtlander lenses the 50mm f2 is probably the best lens I've ever used, at the moment I just can't fault it. So my best lenses are probably the Sony 20mm f1.8 and the Vopigtlander 50mm f2.
My favourite lenses used to be the old Sigma 50 and 85mm f1.4's and later I decided that some of the film era lenses were my favourites, like the Minolt Rokkor 50mm f1.2 which I think gives a lovely look when stopped down. Ditto some other old lenses. These days I really like the Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 classic and it might just be my favourite lens ever

I have a bit of a soft spot for my old Olympus 50mm f1.8, and always loved the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRII. I think the Sony 100-400mm GM is the best ‘wildlife lens’ I’ve had. The sharpest lens I’ve owned is probably my the Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S.Getting the new 20mm f1.8 and thinking it's excellent got me thinking about my other lenses and if the lenses I think are the best are the ones I like the best and that's not always the case.

YesIs that the film era Zuiko 50mm f1.8?

And Alan with his FE20/1.8 purchase.... I could see that replacing both the Voigtländer 21/3.5 (landscape) & the Samyang 24/1.4 (Astro) as an all in one lens....
Nothing urgent though, just stuff to think about.

or 24GM which is slightly better for astro
The Sony 20mm does seem to be a very nice lens but although I've never even held a Voigtlander 21mm I can see a couple of advantages for that lens, it's very compact and I'm sure it's a lovely thing to own and use. Those two things could well be things to consider very carefully. The Sony is a modern fly by wire AF lens without markings or end stops and is nowhere near as nice to use as an old style mechanical lens and I can see that mattering. The Sonys f1.8 and AF could be advantages and it's these things I bought it for but I think it's important to realise that it is a very different lens to the Voigtlander. For my intended uses the Sony is the better fit but for you... or anyone else already owning a Voigtlander 21mm it's a harder choice. Personally I'd like both The Sony for when the f1.8 and AF really are advantages and the Voigtlander for when I'm by myself and in relatively good light, or using a tripod.
And a PS to that.
I do like the modern Sony mount Voigtlanders. The 50mm f2 is the best lens I've ever used and I just love the 35mm f1.4 classic and the 40mm f1.2 has its charms too As objects to own and use and as lenses these need a good look at and I'm sure the 21mm is just the same
