Any recommendations for the cheapest, widest lens to fit an A7ii? I have the Zeiss 55 1.8, which is brilliant. I really like this lens. But I want something wide too. It doesn't need to be auto, just cheap and compatible.

I bought the A7ii and Zeiss 1.8 from Jessops online. Sony paid my claim within 3 weeks (£200). I too have just seen the double cash back :(

I replaced my 5 year old Canon last month for a Sony A7ii with Zeiss 55mm. I'm very happy with moving to mirrorless.

Any recommendations on extra batteries and an external charger for the A7ii? I'm looking at this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/NP-FW50-Rechargeable-SLT-A55V-Cyber-shot-DSC-RX10/dp/B00HEXTEOE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1438778929&sr=8-3&keywords=Sony+NPFW50

Comparing the Canon 500D with Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens, Canon 50mm 1.8 lens and the A7ii with ZA 55mm lens. First impressions: It's heavy, in fact it feels heavier than the Canon, and the metal body makes it feel quality. It's fast, sharp and the IQ is a huge step up over my last setup (as people...

Received my A7ii yesterday, went for the Zeiss 55mm too. I didn't take it off charge until ~1am, so didn't have time to play with it. Shot this with my 500D (terrible focus, but I was too excited): Sony Alpha A7 ii unboxing by Chris J, on Flickr

Are there any disadvantages to using them/an import A7ii in general, that you know of?

Are these UK models? UK warranty? I've never purchased from them.

Had a 15 min play with an A7ii and 55mm Zeiss lens in Jessops recently. I really liked it, even under the terrible lighting it performed better than I expected. The best price I've seen is £1,244 (then £100 cash back) for the body, and £699 for the lens from Currys/Jessops/Wex. Anywhere else...

Sorry, the Canon fitting Sigma lens (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sigma-50mm-Filter-Interchangeable-Canon/dp/B0018ZDGAC). I'm using it on my Canon, and would like to take it with me if possible. Also, how do the Sony kit lenses compare to Canon kit lenses? With Canon, I know kit lenses are poor so...

Am I right in thinking, I can get an adapter to fit a Sigma lens to an A7ii? What are the negatives? Do you lose AF ability?

Until tonight, I was set on moving from my 5 year old Canon 500D to a 6D. I already have a couple of Sigma lenses (a 50mm 1.4), so taking them with me. By chance I stumbled across a photo on Flickr using an A7ii, and I got lost in reviews/comparisons. Has anyone moved from a similar camera to...

Hello. I bought my first dSLR, (2nd hand) 500D and Sigma 17-50 2.8 from these very forums in 2010. I'm now keen to improve the clarity and IQ of my photos, as well as get some more AF points. I'd love to go full frame but funds don't allow (unless I go for an old camera), and as I have a...

I like the site, although I'm not sure the design suits your business. Having a nice site is great, but traffic and conversion is THE important thing. I see no address and no phone number. This makes you look faceless. Put a phone number at the top right, for those that want to call without...

I'm using the TP app to read this, so I can't see your signature with a link. Can you post it?
