Bloody hell, if the Sony A7 were 1200 Euro here, I would buy one last week. 1500 Euro isn't as compelling, but I am still thinking about it. If that 800 Euro 35mm FE lens were an f/2, I would have ordered.
You live in Germany, don't you? There is a 10% discount code for the Sony.de shop, but I am not sure if it still works. http://www.systemkamera-forum.de/blog/2013/11/10-gutschein-sony-alpha-nex-kameras/

Getting my A7r tomorrow.
Michiel, cool! Sadly while we are having nice crisp weather I won't get mine until Monday and the return of rain.
Yeah, I am in Berlin. Hmm... If I sold my Leica 35 Lux-R, I could buy the A7 and 35/2.8... and if I didn't like them, I could resell them and buy the RX1. This is really tempting... I'll think about it for a couple of days.

You know what? This is funny. I doubt that the Alt forum has ever been converging so dramatically on a single platform since the early days of 5D-mania

Alt forum? What? I thought this was the Sony E forum. I look almost everyday for some news from BH. Has anyone received an estimated ship date? I'm trying hard not to call them and ask one of their salesperson if the cameras are in the warehouse.

The code doesn't work any longer. I just tested it.

Not that strange, isn't this the camera we've all been waiting for? I know I have...
It's an amazing marketing move by Sony to release 2 FF mirrorless cameras at once, to really make the forums explode.

I am undecided about the A7, but quite interested. I dislike the 35/2.8's maximum aperture, but I would never buy a camera without at least one native AF lens, and I do own the ZF.2 35/1.4, so I could have two 35s. If it were a 35/2 as good as the RX1, I might even sell the 35/1.4.

Sony-E/Zeiss/ Leica-M … yea that pretty much covers the major part of traffic on here Not that I'm one too talk, I've got an A7R on order (shipping on the 2nd I think?) along with Zeiss glass…. granted there is my Tokina 90/2.5 … hmmm, I'm suddenly feeling like a rebel

Oh, I don't know if I'd let the 35/1.4 distagon go even if the new FE was an F2. That lens is special. The only reason I don't have it is because I have the contax 35/1.4 The rendering alone is worth keeping it for, even if the ZF is kinda huge.

Some people there are even suggesting that Sony should make the a7r in EOS mount. Seeing them work the idea of the a7r around in their heads makes for interesting reading. They are about 2 weeks behind at present (e.g. 'nothing ground-breaking') but many are catching on fast. All many of them are going to need is a top flight affordable AF/IS adapter and do some comparisons. Then they will take a look at the FE lenses. Interesting times.
PS Nothing a7/a7r related at the Nikon forum...very loyal, those folks.
