For the moment when there is no needed lenses (dont say! buy alpha lenses) it’s too expensive. No AF portrait lens for instance. A proper 85+135 would be a start. Price needs to be like 1200€ atm for me to consider it’s merits. The merits are after all bit thin atm.. like is the cameras bottom for filming on a fuild head. A7S rocks bit on a fluid head since it’s so thin (depth wise)
The Germans are auf of lager, that is horrible
its selling for €1670 (body only) on Fotoboom.com, it was the lowest price i’ve foud until now
The a7ii needs an update to support 2000mm focal length. I would like to shoot handheld with this lens but the a7ii doesn’t support it. Can Sony please update the firmware so I can use my a7ii amazing build in 5 axis IBIS? thank you!

Too expensive compared to an A7. Including kit lens an A7 is sold by resellers for 1300 Euro. And a good deal without lens would be below 1100 Euros for just the A7 body. So just wait. Sooner or later A7II price will come down to a reasonable level, too.
The kit lenses are so and so. Why buy this caliber camera then match it with a kit lens. One cannot REALLY afford one of these cameras if you need to use one with a kit lens. PERIOD.
There is just a 1000 Euro standard zoom alternative for the moment (4/24-70). Not much better than the kit say several tests as the comparison by DXO.
Exactly .. Only 55mm, Samyangs and few others. No native Macro’s either yet. And I mean Tamron 90mm 2.8 VC level Macro.
It’s the that lenses define 75% of the process on what kind of photographs you can take. Cameras are much less the limiting factor
