eh. u have the camera right? u can just change the settings and able to see how many pic u can take.

see ur manaual page 23 and 24
"Remaining number of recordable images"

Currently I shoot in Fine Jpeg

If I shoot in JPEG+Raw, how many images can I get on a 32gb or 64gb?

Thinking of what size to buy because I only have a 16gb now, maybe not enough for my holiday trip (no laptop to transfer pics).

Also what is the difference between fine and xfine?

I think quite ex , unless you really like and want the lens The CV lenses have very pleasing bokeh as well leh. If just need smooth and buttery bokeh, go for first hand CV may be more worth while , that's my thoughts

That's what i think too..the price is like 800SGD included shipping , might as well wait a little more for FE55/1.8 2nd hand =)

Ouch.
It will impact some competitors.

Pardon me for another newbie question.

If I were to buy a 2nd hand 3rd party lens to use on my A7, like Minolta 58mm f1.4 for example, what are the things to look out for like what kind of mount etc.

Ebay prices seems quite cheap, thought of buying to try out.

Typically difficult to judge from d eBay listing. First is to check the seller' profile. His past selling records. Then if he has erred on providing wrong facts abt the lenses he had sold. If the seller provides genuine high res photos of the lens in all angles n can see tat the lens is clean. Make sure u contact d seller to confirm tat the lens is clean optically wif no defects.

MD to NEX mount will do. Depends on yr budget. I use cheap fotga ones which r quite well built for its price. Just buy from eBay.

Not really. There will still be people who buy the Leicas for whatever funny reason
