Official Sony A7 or A7r discussion thread (Season II)

[Anders]

Changi price outside departure is RRP minus 7%.

If that's the case, I figure the changi price for body is the best already.

Btw, if I am getting A7r, which zoom lens is recommended for me to get? I cant stand if a picture is not sharp throughout.

I read the sony fe 24-70 is kinda bad due to distortion and sharpness issue at corners.

As long is similar or better than the combination of tamron24-70 it will be good for me.

Yes for me =)

I personally feel its perfect for walk arounds actually. I would prefer 28mm but 35 seem to work just as fine for me.

The reviews for both are kinda bad. Especially the 24-70. Doesnt justify its hefty price tag

Actually how wide is the 35mm? I wonder if it will do me enough for my coming europe trip...

or get the LA-EA4 and use A mount lens. but will be bigger in size. else, wait for more lens to be release.

Anyone can give a heads up on the shop in funan which gives good pricing on A7 compared to Changi airport?

35mm is a popular focal length hence x100, rx1 etc.

28-70 is a decent lens for its price & u can find in bns some selling at good price compared to its supposed retail price

I will consider that. Prefer something more solid though

To be very honest...it's actually not that sharp..it's decent but the details are not defined enough.
