Decided to keep it, the place I bought it has a bazillion hoops to jump through for a return and I can't be arsed. I don't actually need a manual or a perfect box, and I have reset the settings anyway.

Haha, I do like that - the taping over the logos, the lived in look, even the cat hair down the side. If I ever get an A7 to house the old legacy lenses then that's how it's going to look.

I got an A7 (cheap) from KEH and the evf housing had significant scrapes down to the metal. It looked like it had hard life. Unfortunately, the AF was intermittent do I had to upgrade to a clean one.

I have the samyang version of this lens. It goes well on the A7 and makes for a smaller around town shooter.

I too have that lens, and I really like it a lot - I think it's a real sleeper; unfortunately, it doesn't quite make the A7 II fit in a jacket pocket - how about the A7?

That crack is a cat hair that I somehow overlooked. Sorry to ruin the ambiance.

I succumbed to the charms of the Sony FE35 1.4 ZA..... I've been unsure as to whether it could replace the lovely f2 35mm on the RX1 but in the end I took a chance. I'm not disappointed. It definitely has some magic
Winter jacket, yes.

That actually puts me in half a mind of "downgrading" my FE mount camera - but I do think I.B.I.S. is worth the additional bulk in the end (because it also works with adapted lenses - and that's what the A7 II is for in my collection).Winter jacket, yes.
However, I find it peculiar that the A7 is still the second smallest and lightest FF mirrorless body (the Leica M bodies are smaller, but noticeably heavier - just as heavy as the A7 II, in fact). Even the upcoming RP is bulkier ...
Anyhow, the reason that I wanted a coat-pocketable body led me to get the M8, and it does its job in a very pleasing fashion.
Nah, it's better to stick with what I have.
GAS out - or so I hope ...

Thanks, post duly amended!That crack is a cat hair that I somehow overlooked. Sorry to ruin the ambiance.

Bought a Trackball and it arrived today. As my PD progresses I've found simple mouse controls getting harder and taking multiple attempts as even a slight movement of the mouse translates to an on-screen movement that mis-clicks or clicks something else. Worse is my lack of control of the right button finger leading to unintended drag-and-drops. Files and folders disappear and are to be found somewhere else 
.
Silly thing is I bought a trackball in 2016 but it is nowhere to be found in my 'clinically organised' office.
All's well that end's well.

My recommendation to all new users of a Fuji ILC - get that lens first. Doesn't have to be new, you can get a cheap used one, but just get it.
