I'm just hoping it comes this month, when I was on the phone with WEX they said there was a huge pre-order list that they may not be able to fulfil in one hit.

If you are ordering just now I wouldn’t expect delivery for 2 months.

I ordered a couple weeks ago, but it'll still be a while

I’m so glad I decided to go to the photography show now...then buying it on a whim on the spot...YOLO was literally what I was thinking.

And that I was a little bored waiting for Jonney and was killing time. Lol

I was told Camera World should have some stock between 18/19 but have heavy pre-orders.

Edit: I've also just spoken to WEX who said the body only has arrived into them today but the but the body + kit lens has yet to arrive.

What was the charge level out of the box Raymond? My gf is at home waiting for the package whilst I'm at work, so thinking about getting her to slip it on charge if a bit low

I didn’t know, I charge it straight off but inbody charging takes ages.

Ordered 2 weeks ago on Wex, just had a phone call to say it will be with me Monday. Looking forward to this one

Btw, amazon.com sell a dual charger for £13. Don’t need to pay £85 for a Sony one.

Marlie · 13 Apr 2018 at 15:07

Can anyone recommend a good lens? 35mm upto £600

Marlie · 13 Apr 2018 at 15:08

Or even 50mm

Rokino 35/1.4 or the Sony Zeiss 35/2.8.

Between the 2 is go for the Rokinon but I’m personally saving up for the Sony Zeiss 35/1.4.

The Sony Zeiss 55mm/1.8 is a simply answer but it’s 55mm.

For 50mm there is the Sony 50/1.8 but that’s not got great reviews. The best one is undoubtedly the Sony Zeiss 50/1.4 at £1300.

Ideally I want to wait for the sigma art series but don't know how long I can wait!

Thanks Raymond will check them out

Is that the one with the 3 star reviews?

5 stars, currently out of stock though.

I think the Sigma is next 2 months.

It's very likely the same one with different branding.

I intend to keep that in my case and get one of these at home as it has actual percentage LED display.
