cant wait for these deals to start happening on the A7II
Yes to that.
By that time you’ll want the A7III.
Less than a year ago, I spent $3300 for an A7r and 55mm lens. Now only $2000 for both.
I can remember debating people a year ago who still believed full frame sensors cost a fortune to produce and we’d never see low priced full frame cameras. Sony has got the technology down. These cameras now don’t cost much more than a compact to make.
You probably bought them brand new and this Zeiss 55/1.8 is REFURBISHED !!!
Plus you bought them much closer to release, so I think the price difference is fair.
I think admin has to clarify when refurbished product prices are quoted, because this creates wrong impression Sony/Zeiss equipment can’t hold their price. There have been several low price Zeiss 55/1.8 lenses quoted here and each time I looked they were refurbs.
